Hi i would like to ask if NTLite will support the next generation of Windows 12 coming this fall in 12-Nov-2025.
And most important does NTLite will be compatible with Arm64 ?!
Thanks

Windows 12 minimum specs are:
A new era has commenced, accompanied by an array of captivating features. Notably, Windows 12 is slated for release this fall, but with enhanced specifications: a 9th Gen Intel Core processor (released in 2018), Celeron N4100/N4120 (released in 2019), Pentium N5030 (released in 2019), or AMD’s Ryzen 3000 series (released in 2019), with the option of a Snapdragon 888 or an even more advanced processor. Additionally, Copilot+PC’s have proven to be highly beneficial and are now mandatory to ensure compatibility.

For reference, here is an image depicting the anticipated design of Windows 12:

If you have a Windows 12 alpha, I can test it and let you know, until then the plan is to support it, but cannot be guaranteed.

That design is probably not from Microsoft. Either way it just looks like Widgets on Desktop and semi-transparent taskbar.
Copilot PC compatibility being mandatory sounds limiting in terms of adoption.

NTLite already unofficially supports ARM64, if you see any issues, make sure to report it.
Once Nvidia releases their new Windows ARM PC architecture, I'll get it for testing so the support can be better maintained.
 
Win12 needs to be polished. I don't know when nVidia is to release it, maybe in 2026 Q1. AMD release will probably be on end of 2026 Q1 or Q2. But i suspect that once nVidia will release it's arm64 it will make x86 very, very shy.
Thanks for quick response. I will try to keep it posted.
 
25H2 will be released as an Enablement Package for 24H2. Which means it's still Windows 11.

What you've reposted is a screenshot from a YouTube concept video, created two years ago by an independent artist. It's not W12.

Yes, it's even announced since 2021, this Windows 12 Build 12.0.30000

Microsoft уже тестирует Windows 12?

Microsoft представила Windows 11 месяц тому назад, а пользовательская версия этой ОС должна выйти лишь осенью текущего года (предположительно, в октябре). Между тем, судя по скриншоту, опубликованному в Сети, Microsoft уже работает над Windows 12.

Although this article states this
the insider points out that full testing of Windows 12 will begin no earlier than mid-2026

More seriously, it's just a concept created by someone
When and if Windows 12 goes into testing, there will be a lot more leaks
 
There's no need to get excited about Windows 12!
Many people thought that the Windows 11 25H2 update would be the de facto Windows 12 operating system. However, Microsoft representatives seemed to subtly dispel this information over the past few months. Some suggest that the Windows 12 release will never happen, and that Microsoft will continue to develop Windows 11 with subsequent major updates. Others claim that the debut of Windows 12 will occur after support for Windows 11 expires, which, given Microsoft's Jason Leznek's comments, could be a year later than expected.
So when will Windows 12 be released? At this point, the new operating system shouldn't be expected before the end of 2027 or even 2028. It remains an open question whether Microsoft will announce another feature update for Windows 11. If so, the potential release of Windows 12 will be pushed back even further.
 
The drawback of Windows as Software as a Service (SaaS) is everyone now expects constant innovation.

Before W10, previous Windows releases took 2-4 years to develop offline and you had no changes (other than bug fixes) while you waited. The modern marketplace won't allow you to sit there and suggest users come back in 2-4 years for a completely new OS. Instead Windows has become more incremental with feature changes that take about one year or less to introduce.

This means a complete redesign is much harder to commit to. But right now, CEO Satya Nadella has made the AI arms race his #1 priority, and they're not going throw dev resources into Windows if cloud-based AI is where he wants to win.

I would agree that W12 is further out than 2026. Just changing the name as a marketing gimmick won't make users too pleased. It has to be a major design change, and that takes a lot of dev time.
 
And I've been seeing rumors of a future Windows version that is fully modular and compartmentalized/virtualized. As someone dabbling in IT, I just want Windows to stay out of my way and to stop wasting resources on unnecessary marketing features, but alas~
 
I know not really the discussion, but this is stupid, I feel I am finally moving to 11 (an OS that still feels like a beta), yet Microsoft seem to be already preparing to move on from it, we need 10-20 year cycles. 10 proved, you dont need a major new OS to add new functionality and tech support. What is the benefit of a redesign? Things break again, and people just spend time reverting it to the more intuitive older design.

They always have to try and think ahead, be ahead of the trend etc etc. yeah 99% of the time they miss is, the 1 % of the time, they hit the trend , but do it badly. they have plans for what they think will be the 'norm' , but plans very rarely match reality. All OS's feel like beta's because they take time to bed in, but personally i think the lifespan of each OS is ok.
