Windows 12 could be another costly upgrade for supporters of Microsoft operating systems. A new report reveals that the AI-dominated OS will require AMD and Intel CPUs with a dedicated NPU. Possibly surfacing in late 2026, the follow-up to Windows 11 may also rely on subscriptions.

    They won’t force everybody to replace their hardware in a time of memory shortage crisis.

    For all the people on here quick to mock others for being gullible enough to fall for AI-generated slop, this is embarrassing.

    How can anyone upgrade to a new PC when there is no Ram or hard disks available? This is a crazy time to try to push that.

    Man, Microsoft doubling down on the whole “Let’s force most of our customers to purchase entirely new computers to use the next release!” strategy after it went so well for Windows 11 is just hilarious. Especially with hardware costs skyrocketing due to AI BS.

    If it is AI based I guarantee it will be subscription based. That could push me over the edge to some Linux variant.

    It’s not clear whether Windows 12 will welcome any non-NPU processors. More likely, PCs that don’t meet its system requirements will lose some functionality.

    They will lose some functionality, only if we accept that the slop features meet the definition of what makes a piece of functionality. They seem to not function quite a lot still.
