What you need to know
A recent leak regarding an upcoming Intel chipset lists Windows 12 as a supported OS.
Microsoft reportedly shifted to a three-year development cycle for major versions of Windows, which would suggest Windows 12 may arrive in 2024.
The tweet mentioning Windows 12 support has since been deleted.
Windows 12 could launch as soon as next year, based on previous reports. Recent leaks give more credence to suggestions that a new major release of Windows is on the way. A since-deleted tweet by @leaf_hobby, who is known for Intel hardware leaks, stated that Windows 12 is on the supported OS list for Intel's Meteor Lake-S desktop chipsets.

It's important to place today's reports within context. They refer to details from a leak about a chipset that mentions an operating system that has not publicly been confirmed to exist by Microsoft. With so many moving pieces and reports, it's important to take things with a grain of salt.
