Windows 12 may increase hardware requirements

Microsoft is still expected to deliver some updates in the coming months for Windows 11. Namely with Moment 3 and Moment 4 updates. However, while this is not happening, rumors about a future version of Windows 12 keep popping up.

The most recent ones now represent the hardware-level requirements for this new version of Windows. This version of Windows still doesn’t have a specific name, but it has been referred to by various sources as “Next Valley”.

Microsoft CEO Panos Panay has already confirmed that the next generation of Windows will offer new experiences for users, and will focus heavily on the use of artificial intelligence, in order to improve user tasks on a daily basis.

If all goes as the rumors suggest, Microsoft should go back to the Windows update calendar every three years, as it did until the arrival of Windows 10. With that in mind, the next version of Windows 12 should eventually arrive during the second half of 2024.

However, in addition to all the news that this release can bring, another important aspect to take into consideration is the hardware requirements. At this point, it is still relatively early to reveal the details in this regard, but if we take into account the latest rumors, there is a possibility that Microsoft is strengthening it.

According to the portal decoderA future release of Windows 12 must maintain the requirements in terms of TPM 2.0, as found in Windows 11. To use the system.

This increase could be significant, leaving aside some older systems – something similar to what happened with Windows 11, where many systems are still limited in the ability to use only officially Windows 10.

However, it is important to keep in mind that all the information known so far is just a rumor, and nothing official has been confirmed by Microsoft regarding this version of Windows. At the same time, there is still a lot of development time ahead, so the details of this new version may undergo major changes before a final version of the system arrives.

In any case, it seems more and more certain that soon we will get news regarding Windows, and eventually its new version. And with the emphasis that Microsoft places on artificial intelligence, this will certainly be highlighted in the future version of Windows.
