Microsoft has scheduled a major event in San Francisco for October 7, 2026, to discuss the future of Windows and its Surface hardware line. The presentation is set to begin at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, marking the company's first significant Windows-focused gathering in over two years.
The core theme of the event will be the role of local artificial intelligence in the next generation of personal computing. CEO Satya Nadella and Windows and Surface lead Pavan Davuluri are confirmed to attend, alongside Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, suggesting a focus on new Arm-based hardware.
Industry expectations point toward potential updates on the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra, which was first announced in June. The event may also feature new hardware solutions from other manufacturers utilizing the RTX Spark platform, though a reveal of Windows 12 is considered unlikely.
