I was thinking about about putting a subject about *what you will do when Win 10 ends support for it on October 25
But ater seeing that Win 12 is coming next year?o_OI thought i would change the neme of the subject to Win 12.
So even if you put Win 11 on a non suported PC
There will be more requirements to instal Win12 ,so even if it did have the requirements for Win 11 some of thouse PCs will become ovsolute to.o_ODid you know 12 was coming?.A fair propoetion will going for the new awsome Mac Mini but i am a Mac fan boy:)

Windows 12 is not, in fact, coming next year. In fact, all the hubbub about 12 turned up in the 24H2. Essentially, 24H2 IS Windows 12 considering the new kernel and MS updating everything that runs Windows and its offshoots to it.

The closest thing we have to a Win12 is Azure and trust me, you don't want.
Back in 2019 I noticed Server 2019 wasn't ready for prime time. It has since matured but yuck.
Server 2022 is probably okay now but I can't work with it which means you probably won't either.
Any shot at a consumer grade build of either one of these is a colossal waste of time.

Well, shiiiiet, if THE GUY in a YouTube video says something, then sure - must be true.

Yeah, the rumors were based on misunderstanding some leaked MS code for 24H2 (before 24H2 entered Preview) and the assumption that something THAT majorly different must be a full in new OS release.

A basic browse of the channel's recent videos makes it pretty obvious it's a techtube content farm. You feed a basic script into an AI voiceover bot, slap together a highlight reel of random 'what if' concept videos/ads to trick gullible schmucks into thinking it's real, profit. This kinda hype-baiting has been around since the 2000s—'member the Xbox 720?

Win11 barely has the majority share of installed OSes years after its release, with a huge amount of people still holding a deathgrip on Win10. Do you really think they'd shuffle in another poorly-constructed 'upgrade' this quickly?

Chris @ Explaining Computers is a very trustworthy channel. He doesn't do videos on subjects he hasn't researched. He was once a University Professor and abides the scientific ethos and process in his video making process. Great channel!
