About this tag
The Hudson Valley tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Microsoft's internal codename for a potential next-generation Windows platform, often linked to rumors of a Windows 12 release. Threads examine whether Hudson Valley represents a real product or speculation, focusing on its reported modular CorePC architecture, AI-first design with 40+ TOPS NPU requirements, and a possible 2026 launch. Community analysis weighs leaks from outlets like PCWorld against rebuttals from reporters such as Zac Bowden, who argue that Microsoft's 2026 plans center on Windows 11 improvements rather than a full OS release. The tag also explores related codenames like Germanium and the shift toward annual Windows updates driven by AI hardware requirements.
