About this tag
Core PC modularity refers to Microsoft's rumored architectural shift toward a modular Windows design, where core operating system components can be separated, updated, or replaced independently. Discussions on WindowsForum.com center on leaked plans for a future Windows version—often called Windows 12 or Hudson Valley Next—that would decouple system elements like the user interface, security layer, and AI features from the base OS. This modular approach is tied to deeper Copilot integration, hardware-gated AI requiring dedicated NPUs, and improved ARM support. While Microsoft has not confirmed these plans, the concept of core PC modularity represents a potential move away from monolithic Windows builds toward a more flexible, service-like platform that could reshape device positioning and feature delivery.
