At the time of writing, Build 2021 is still ongoing, so we will hopefully get more clues about the future of Windows there. So, was this a tease for Windows 10’s successor? Perhaps. Microsoft was also working on Windows 10X, which was set to be a departure from Windows 10, but that operating system has been shelved, with many of its features now being rolled into Windows 10. If Microsoft is moving on from Windows 10, then maybe we actually will see Windows 11.
While Apple followed a similar pattern – releasing 10.x updates to its rival macOS operating system every year (for free), last year it changed to macOS 11 for the Big Sur update, due – it said – to the changes that the new version brought.Ĭould that spur Microsoft to move on from Windows 10? We know that Microsoft isn’t keen on having product names with lower numbers than its competitors – hence why the second Xbox console was the Xbox 360, not the Xbox 2, while Sony had the PlayStation 3. Microsoft have not indicated a release date for Sun Valley, it has only been released on the Insider ring and so will take a while to test, usually you can expect that to be released near the end of October, depending on how that testing goes. Nadella’s talk of the “next generation of Windows” could just be a bit of hype, or it could hint at a much larger shift for Windows in the future, perhaps Windows 11. Crucially, though, it remains the same operating system, and has meant that there’s been no need for anyone to buy a new version.
