Microsoft is promoting Windows 11 and its new Copilot+ PCs at CES 2025. Notably absent from the company's announcements is any mention of a possible Windows 12 release. Instead, the tech giant is positioning 2025 as a crucial year for Windows 11 adoption.

Just a few days ago, security researchers warned hundreds of millions of Windows users they’re at risk from a “ dangerous security fiasco .” Microsoft has now confirmed the same, proclaiming 2025 “the year of the Windows 11 PC refresh.” And for 400 million users in particular, that means hitting the stores before it’s too late.

Microsoft has rolled out a full-screen advertisement for Windows 11 on some Windows 10 users' machines, which caused them to crash.

Nearly 80% of businesses and 70% of consumers plan to refresh their PC portfolio by the end of 2025—or so says Microsoft.
