Release date/announcement might be Oct 17, 2022. 700 series mainboards might be a bit different? Already talks about ddr6 and even windows 12. Might end up being a mess.
Ye gods! Windows 12?....I obviously can't run Windows 11 at the moment due to my hardware, I mean, how long ago did microsoft release windows 11?..it can't be more than 3 years ago?
Seems like Microsoft have a 'deal' with hardware manufacturers, CPU's and motherboard company's...if you get my drift.
I'll have to have a look at what's going on with Windows 12, I don't for one minute suspect Windows 12 will mean a change in CPU's or perhaps other hardware. (I'm being sarcastic here )
What did microsoft say (or hint) some years ago that windows 10 was going to be the last OS, and it would just need updates?....(I might have misunderstood this at the time, but I'm pretty sure that that was talked about).
Anyway, seems like some in depth 'investigation' is what I need to do before I even think of 'upgrading' at the moment imo.
Edit..
Well didn't take long to find this out!....
