Have you ever wondered why Windows 9 never appears?

Did Microsoft 'forget' about losing 9 when naming Windows? No, it all has a reason.

Initially, Microsoft often named Windows by year of release, such as Windows 95, 98, 2000. Later, when Windows 7 was released, Microsoft switched to naming the order of number instead of the year as before.

When Windows 8 'expired', the next version of Windows was set by Microsoft as 10 rather than 9. Microsoft did not announce the cause, but a lot of theories have been put forward explaining why Microsoft ignores number 9.

In 2014, the answer to this question was made by Mary Jo Foley, who regularly reports to Microsoft on the day Windows 10 is officially announced.

Microsoft chose the name Windows 10 because this is the final version of Windows. Periodically, Microsoft will only focus on making updates, upgrades, and bug fixes for Windows 10, not creating new major Windows generations after a few years as before.

Windows 10 has a common source code, Microsoft just need to adjust the interface to suit the different device types, screen sizes, only.

Windows 10 was officially launched in 2015, since then Microsoft has never announced it will have the next Windows, but only updates, upgrades and minor bug fixes.

Therefore, it is highly likely that there will never be Windows 11 and 12, so whether we like it or not, we still have to use Windows 10.
