The first “Moment” updates will add tabs and a new sidebar to File Explorer and enable a feature called “Suggested Actions” that will prompt users to take next steps based on texts selected in applications, according to Windows Central. Released in October 2021, Windows 11 will soon begin to get small, quarterly feature updates called “ Moments,” similar to the company's “ feature experience packs.” “These manufacturers may decide to discontinue support of their products on older operating systems as appropriate.” “This frequently occurs because the manufacturers of new hardware and software make product-design decisions that take advantage of the increased functionality and features in newer operating systems,” Microsoft explains in its Windows support document. However, Windows versions eventually reach the end of support, meaning customers no longer receive security updates. And while the OS may still work with programs and hardware, the possibility increases that new programs and hardware will not perform as designed. When an OS reaches its end of life support, Microsoft will sometimes extend that support, something it did with Windows 10 due to the pandemic. That would mean, if that cadence holds, the equivalent of Windows 12 would be released in the fall of 2024.īecause support for Windows 10 isn’t scheduled to end until 2025, a "Windows 12" released in 2024, would mean IT admins have to contend with three versions of the operating system as the same time: Windows 10, 11, and 12. More importantly for IT admins, Microsoft appears poised to change the rate at which it rolls out new versions of Windows to once every three years, similar to the schedule it relied on prior to Windows 10.
