As we know, the first major update of windows 11 in 2022 is planned to be launched later this year. It is called 22h2 version, also known as Sun Valley 2. Sun Valley is the code name of the original windows 11 version. Microsoft obviously plans to keep this code name in the next two major versions and continue to use it in the form of numeric suffixes.
When windows 11 while the 22h2 is preparing for the autumn of 2022, Microsoft has begun to prepare for the major update in 2023. We have seen the changes in the development channel. Next year's update is obviously called 23h2 Version (Sun Valley 3/sv3), and the reference content of sv3 has been found in the latest preview version.
As we reported earlier, the latest build mentioned windows 11 cu23h2, or "copper" (the second half of 2023). The Current Windows 11 22h2 update will be launched in the fall of 2022, and its internal code is "nickel"
Next year's windows 11 update will be called "copper" and "Sun Valley 3". In Microsoft, it is normal for a product to have different code names, because there are multiple departments working in different fields for the same update.
The screenshot above mentions "sv3", which is an abbreviation for sun valey 3. The company previously referred to Sun Valley 2 as "SV2", so it can be considered that "sv3" in the above code refers to Sun Valley 3. Microsoft has changed the function update of windows to an annual rhythm, which means that there is only one function update this year and one next year.
The feature update is now released in the second half of the year, which is why the last digit of the windows 11 version always ends with "2".
Theoretically, windows 11 23h2 is at an early stage of development, but new features may begin to appear in the upcoming preview version later this month or next month.
According to sources familiar with the development situation, windows 1123h2 proves that Microsoft's tablet computer ambition is still unabated. Microsoft's competitor Apple The company has achieved great success in tablet computers and software, but the windows technology giant has not done so in this industry.
Although Windows 8 is a fairly good tablet operating system, the operating system and tablet products are not popular. Windows 10 addresses the concerns of desktop and laptop users, while retaining some tablet friendly features of Windows 8, such as gestures and real-time magnets.
Unlike windows 10, windows 11 is not equipped with tablet mode. Through the new operating system, Microsoft is trying to strike a balance between desktop and tablet computers, so that windows 11 can continue to work better on tablet devices. More improvements, including the tablet friendly taskbar, may be released in next year's windows 11 23h2 update.
