Microsoft wants to build a stripped down version of Windows 11, Let me explain

According to reports, Microsoft is building a lightweight version of Windows, dubbed CorePC, developing alongside Windows 12. Microsoft is being very unconventional with this latest project, which follows Microsoft's previous light operating systems, which include Windows 10X Core OS and Windows RT operating systems.

CorePC customizable software, meeting the demands of various applications and system form factors. CorePC core features will offer the user a desktop Windows experience; simultaneously, the same core features can be disabled when not used. For example, users in the educational field with access to Windows PCs can disable Win32 app support for security purposes only. As an option, users out of need can enable this feature.

CorePC will grant users a desktop experience but will not be a bland version of Windows 10 or 11. Instead, Microsoft aims to build a version mimicking iPadOS or Android mobile operating systems. The most significant change will transition to a new " state separation strategy" when the OS, system files and user data are split into multiple partitions. Meaning rapid updates and a reliable system will reset operations for CorePC. Since part of the operating system is partitioned for read-only, you will have enhanced Security.

Also, according to reports, CorePC will be Microsoft's significant competitor to Google's Chrome OS. It will also be 60 to 75% smaller than Windows 11SE. Along with CorePC, Microsoft has in the works a silicon-optimized version that will focus on AI capabilities.

We could see CorePC released to users right alongside Windows 12 in the near future.
