In time for Windows 12 that reportedly will require an NPU: https://tech4gamers.com/windows-12-reportedly-relasing-2026-modular-ai-focused-os/ https://tech4game

  That's a ridiculously implausible and sensationalized rumor. At most, Microsoft may make a NPU a requirement for OEMs to use the Windows 12 logo on new PCs. Actually refusing to support the existing install base of recent and hughly-capable desktops is not at all likely. It would be far more drastic than the hardware deprecations brought by Windows 11, which were already quite controversial (and loosely enforced).
