Windows 11 may get a major upgrade in 2027.

Windows 12 is the obvious question around Microsoft’s next major Windows release, but the reporting points to a less flashy priority: improving Windows 11. The Verge says much of Microsoft’s Windows work this year has gone into underlying performance improvements, after the company acknowledged Windows 11’s bloat and reliability problems and made a plan to address them. Sources told The Verge that quality is now a major focus for the next release. Separately, Wccftech, citing The Verge’s Tom Warren, reports that Microsoft is preparing Windows 11 27H2 for 2027. It could be a full operating-system upgrade, replacing or substantially updating core components instead of just enabling features already on users’ PCs.
