Windows 12? What Northamptonshire Businesses Really Need to Know (And Why You Should Ignore the Hype)

If you’re a business owner in Northamptonshire, you’ve probably heard the growing chatter about “Windows 12.” You may have even seen YouTube videos or articles claiming to reveal release dates, features or hardware requirements.

Let’s clear this up immediately:

Windows 12 does not exist.

There has been zero official information from Microsoft. No announcement, no roadmap, no sneak preview — nothing.

So why is everyone talking about it?

It’s simple:

  • Windows 10 support ends October 2025
  • Windows 11’s hardware requirements have pushed many businesses to rethink their devices
  • People are looking for an excuse to “wait for the next version”

But at this point, any Windows 12 prediction is pure speculation designed to generate clicks — not to help your business plan properly.

What Northamptonshire businesses should actually focus on

Instead of worrying about a mythical Windows 12, now is the time to:

  • Review whether your existing hardware is compatible with Windows 11
  • Plan for upgrades before Windows 10 hits end of support
  • Avoid spending money where you don’t need to
  • Ensure your systems remain secure and compliant
