Should You Skip Windows 11? The Pros and Cons Explained
The Comfort Zone
Still in Windows 10? You are not alone. It’s familiar, stable, and works just fine for your day-to-day tasks. If your system runs well, it might feel there’s no rush to upgrade. But remember, Windows 10 reaches its End of Life in October 2025. Some users are thinking of waiting for the next big thing, and Windows 12 promises to bring exciting changes. Staying put may seem like the safer bet for now, but there are important factors to consider.
The Risk of Waiting
There’s a catch. Windows 10 end of support is approaching and coming very soon; just a few months left. That means no more security updates, which could leave your computers vulnerable. Delaying the upgrade and waiting for Windows 12 might seem convenient now, but it could cost you in the long run with downtime or even data loss.
Why Some Users are Skipping Windows 11
Some people say Windows 11 doesn’t feel like a big change. If your device isn’t fully compatible or you’re unsure it’s worth the hassle, you might feel like skipping it altogether and waiting for Windows 12. And hey, who doesn’t want the latest and greatest when it finally arrives?
Why You Might Want to Upgrade Now?
Here’s a smart move. If your PC is ready, upgrading to Windows 11 now means you’re on a supported, secure system. No gaps, no worries. And when Windows 12 comes out, you’ll likely be in a better position to move forward smoothly. Sometimes, waiting too long just adds more stress later.
Expected Features on Windows 12
As of now, Microsoft has not officially released Windows 12 and a date is not announced yet, but there are some anticipated major upgrades from Windows 11 to Windows 12, like deeper Artificial Intelligence integration with features like CoPilot, enhanced security features like a more robust zero-trust architecture, closer integration to cloud apps like Microsoft 365 and Azure and optimized for next generation hardware like the Intel Meteor Lake processors and AI accelerators.
Conclusion
If your hardware isn’t compatible with Windows 11, you may want to plan your budget for new computers and wait for Windows 12. If your computers do support Windows 11, consider upgrading as soon as possible.
