Did Intel just leak the Windows 11 release date?

So far, Microsoft hasn’t officially revealed the Windows 11 release date, instead simply stating that it is “due out later in 2021 and will be delivered over several months”.However, this latest leak, which is found in the release notes published by Intel alongside its latest GPU driver, makes a clear reference to October 2021.In the past, Microsoft has named its major Windows 10 updates after the month in which they are going to be released (which has caused issues in the past when there have been delays), and the release notes make reference to existing Windows 10 updates as well, such as the May 2021 Update (21H1).The ‘21H2’ part of the update name in relation to Windows 11 suggests, as with other Windows updates, that it will release in the second half of 2021.There will also be a Windows 10 21H2 update, but that’s expected to bring minor updates, maybe because Microsoft is focussing on Windows 11.So far, the evidence seems pretty conclusive that Windows 11 will launch – for some people, at least – in October 2021.
