According to comments in a recent update, Windows 11 22H2 will be the official codename for the next major version of Windows 11.
Microsoft’s prior naming traditions for its Windows operating system led many of us to believe that Windows 11 22H2 would be the official name of the significant update.
Windows 11’s “Sun Valley 2” feature upgrade was formerly referred to as “Sun Valley 2.” It appears to be one of the most significant updates to Windows 11 yet, adding a slew of new features that users have been clamoring for since the launch of the operating system last year.
With the introduction of Android apps to Windows 11, you could potentially use your favorite smartphone applications on your Windows 11 device, as well as overhauls to iconic apps like Note Pad and WMP, as well as additional features for the taskbar. These are some of the most exciting changes, and may finally convince people to make the switch from Windows 10.
In the release notes for a new Windows update, Microsoft refers to ‘Windows 11, version 22H2’ for the first time, according to Windows Latest. Windows 11’s next major update will be referred to as “Windows 12,” and Microsoft has given us a date for its release.
The ‘H2’ element of the name relates to the month and day of the week in which the update will be made available. We may assume that the upgrade previously known as Sun Valley 2 will be released sometime after June of 2022 based on this information.
Could Microsoft be aiming to release Windows 11 22H2 to coincide with the one anniversary of the operating system? In fact, Microsoft has done something similar in the past with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, which was released in 2016.
Some users, particularly those looking forward to the additional features that Windows 11 22H2 is expected to offer, may find that waiting until October is a little much.
However, there is some good news in that the Windows 11 22H2 upgrade may arrive earlier than expected in the second part of the year. As a matter of fact, Microsoft has officially verified the name, which may imply that the update is almost ready for release.
In addition, Windows Insiders who have been testing early copies of the 22H2 upgrade have said that the software seems robust even at this early stage, further indicating that Windows 11 22H2 might be ready for release shortly.
In order to keep the momentum going for Microsoft’s new operating system, the corporation will want to fully test this important upgrade for any potential faults and bugs. Some Windows 10 enthusiasts are still reluctant to switch, but a major headline-grabbing update filled with new features might persuade them to do so.
Windows Insiders may sign up to help test out some of these new features, including Android app integration, as well as updated Notepad and Windows Media Player applications.
