Microsoft will hold its first major Windows presentation in two years

Microsoft will host an event dedicated to Windows and Surface devices on October 7 in San Francisco. The meeting will focus on how local artificial intelligence will influence the further development of personal computers.

The event is expected to feature Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Pavan Davuluri, head of the Windows and Surface division. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will also speak.

Jensen Huang's participation may indicate that computers supporting RTX Spark — Nvidia's platform for running AI models locally — will be one of the topics of the event. Microsoft may also reveal information about the price and availability of the Surface Laptop Ultra, although the company has not yet officially confirmed details of the presentation.

Microsoft has not held a major event dedicated to Windows for more than two years. The last large-scale presentation took place in May 2024. At that time, the company introduced Copilot+ PCs based on the Arm architecture and announced an expansion of its partnership with Qualcomm.

The previous major Windows event took place in June 2021. During it, Microsoft presented Windows 11 during an online broadcast.

During the upcoming presentation, the company may also discuss improvements to Windows and further changes to the operating system. However, according to The Verge, there is no need to expect an official presentation of Windows 12 at the event.

The Microsoft event will begin on October 7 at 10:00 Pacific Time, or 21:00 Astana Time. The Verge will cover the presentation directly from San Francisco.
