Windows 12 only as a cloud OS?


The idea that Windows 12 could act as a cloud OS is often discussed, especially in the context of the increasing importance of cloud services and the development of cloud-based operating systems such as Chrome OS.






However, there is no official confirmation from Microsoft that Windows 12 is specifically designed as a cloud OS.



1. Windows 12 and cloud integrations:
2. Does this mean that Windows 12 will have a new boot option as a cloud version in the future?
3. Will Microsoft forego a local version of Windows 12?








1.) Windows 12 and cloud integrations:



However, it is likely that Microsoft will continue to build out many cloud integrations and services in Windows 12, similar to Windows 11. These include:

1. Cloud-based file storage and syncing : Services like OneDrive will be further integrated into the operating system, allowing users to seamlessly sync files across multiple devices.

2. Windows Virtual Desktop and Cloud PCs : Microsoft could further push the integration of virtual desktops, enabling users to use Windows via cloud services, which is of particular interest to businesses.

3. Increased use of web apps and Microsoft 365 : As more work and productivity software moves to the cloud, Windows will increasingly serve as a platform for accessing web apps and cloud-based services.

4. AI and cloud computing : Windows 12 could also be closely integrated with Microsoft's Azure cloud platform to integrate powerful AI and computing resources that would not be available on-premises.

How do you see the development of Windows 12 in terms of cloud integrations? What features would you like to see to ensure a strong cloud connection?




2.) Does this mean that in Windows 12 there will be a new boot option as a cloud version?




Microsoft has introduced a feature called Windows 365 Boot that allows physical devices to boot directly into a cloud-based Windows environment. This means that when users turn on their device, they are logged directly into their Windows 365 Cloud PCs without the need for a local operating system.

This feature is particularly beneficial for scenarios where multiple users use the same device, such as in care facilities, field service, or call centers. Each user can log in with their own credentials and access their personal Cloud PC directly.

However, it is important to note that Windows 365 Boot is currently only compatible with Windows 11-based devices.

Whether Microsoft plans to further expand or integrate this feature in future Windows versions such as Windows 12 is currently unknown. Currently, Windows 365 Boot is an extension of Windows 11 and not Windows 12.

For detailed instructions on setting up Windows 365 Boot, you can watch the following video:

3.) Will Microsoft forego a local version of Windows 12?




In recent years, Microsoft has increasingly introduced cloud-based services such as Windows 365 , which allow Windows to be streamed over the Internet. This development suggests that Microsoft may place a greater focus on cloud solutions in the future. However, there is currently no official confirmation that Windows 12 will be offered exclusively as a cloud OS without a local variant.

Currently, Microsoft offers both local operating systems such as Windows 11 and cloud-based solutions to meet different user needs. It is therefore likely that a combination of local and cloud-based options will also be available in the future.

For a deeper insight into the possible developments of Windows and the transition to cloud solutions, you can watch the following video:
