Windows 12 coming to Canary channel?

According to Neowin , while users are still waiting for Microsoft's official announcement for the next-generation Windows, Windows 12, new feature updates for Windows 11 and system requirements have appeared, giving users news related to the upcoming operating system.

Does Windows 12 really exist?

The latest report from @XenoPanther , who is known for digging into Microsoft's operating system, says that the recent Windows 11 internal Canary channel shows a jump from build 26047 to build 27545.

A big jump in build numbers usually indicates a new version or a completely new release, as was the case with builds 19XXX in Windows 10 moving to 22XXX in Windows 11. This suggests that build 27545 could be the first sign of Windows 12 or whatever Microsoft plans to release after Windows 11.

Here's a summary of what's going on in the Windows world:

Stable channel	Version 22H2 and 23H2 with "Moment 4 " update, Build 22631
Beta Channel	Build 22635 with the "Moment 5" update
Dev Channel	Build 23620
Canary Channel (public)	Build 26040 (next " big " update)
Canary Channel (internal)	Build 27545 (Windows 12?)

" Moment 5 " is scheduled to be an optional update in February 2024 , while the Dev and Beta channels are used to test the 24H2 version that will launch in the second half of this year, before the Canary (public) channel. Provides features that will be released after Windows 11 24H2.

The Canary channel is meant for Microsoft to “test things that don’t necessarily need to be in a specific version of Windows.” In the case of Build 27545, it’s Windows 12, which is still a long way off from being available to the public.
