A new report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windowscentral.com\/software-apps\/windows-11\/no-of-course-windows-12-wont-require-a-subscription-to-use\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows Central<\/a> points out that the rumors that have been going around are not true.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, new references (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neowin.net\/news\/microsoft-might-want-to-be-making-windows-12-a-subscription-os-suggests-leak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Neowin<\/a>) about a subscription of some sort have been spotted inside one of the preview builds of <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-11\">Windows 11<\/a> from the Canary Channel, suggesting that Microsoft could be planning to charge monthly fees to use its operating system. However, according to the report, these references <strong>(&#8220;Subscription Type \u2013 L_MsgSubscriptionType (as &#8220;Device-Based Subscription&#8221; or &#8220;User-Based Subscription&#8221;)&#8221;)<\/strong> found in the <strong>&#8220;slmgr.ini&#8221;<\/strong> file are part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/XenoPanther\/status\/1710027423981388161\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IoT Enterprise Subscription<\/a> edition of the operating system, not for Windows 12.<\/p>\n<p>Although there&#8217;s a chance that future releases of the operating system may require a subscription to take advantage of specific features, similar to using a Microsoft 365 subscription, it&#8217;s unlikely that Microsoft will ever force users to pay to use its desktop version of Windows. The reason is that not only there isn&#8217;t enough demand, but no other company is doing this. Google doesn&#8217;t have a subscription to use Android or Chrome OS, and Apple isn&#8217;t asking for monthly fees to use macOS or iOS.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this doesn&#8217;t include other services outside the operating system that require a subscription, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/microsoft-365-personal-vs-microsoft-365-family-features-pricing\/\">Microsoft 365 Family and Personal<\/a> to access the Office apps, Apple TV+, Apple Music, YouTube Premium, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Microsoft already has a subscription-based model to monetize its operating system. The service is known as <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-365-not-real\/\">&#8220;Windows 365&#8221;<\/a> and offers the ability to access virtual machines in the cloud running Windows 11. The service is currently only available for businesses, but it may one day arrive for regular consumers to offer a more hybrid experience.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why future releases of Windows will continue to be available for free (excluding new installations that may require the purchase of a license) is that Microsoft already receives revenue from manufacturers as they have to pay the company to preinstall (in this case) Windows 11 and certain apps on new computers, and the operating system includes many types of advertisements to lure users into using many of its services. Also, in a recent update, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-september-update-kb5030310-copilot\/\">Windows 11 22H2<\/a> introduced the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/window-11-copilot-best-tips-tricks\/\">Copilot AI chatbot<\/a>, which is now showing advertisements below responses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft has no plans to require a subcription that users will have to pay to use Windows 12 as many reports suggested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159835,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2426,10,23],"tags":[2715,2736],"class_list":["post-159833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-news","category-windows","tag-windows-11","tag-windows-12"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Windows 12 won&#039;t require you to pay a subscription - Pureinfotech<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Microsoft has no plans to require a subcription to use Windows 12 as many reports suggested.
