Microsoft is said to be working on a modular version of Windows intended for Microsoft’s Andromeda and new form factors such as dual-screen devices. It was recently reported that Microsoft is internally testing builds of Windows 10 for Andromeda, a dual-screen foldable device expected to launch later this year.

In the past few months, multiple LinkedIn job postings and profile have popped up online with mention of Windows Core (WCOS). The listings suggest that Microsoft could be actively working on the rumoured platform.

The newly discovered LinkedIn profile also mentions Windows Core OS (WCOS). Interestingly, the job profile has revealed that the company is working on the Windows Driver Model (WDM) (was also known as the Win32 Driver Model) and Windows Driver Frameworks (WDF) validation for Windows Core OS.

The LinkedIn page also revealed that Microsoft might be working on refactoring Windows components to support the next-generation products.

Windows Core OS rumours

Microsoft’s long rumoured Windows Core OS was recently spotted in internal builds of Windows 10 which shows that that software maker is getting ready to build Windows 10 for a future wave of foldable devices.

Another report confirmed that Microsoft is preparing Windows 10 for future form factors but it’s not known if or when the modular OS will be announced.

By the looks of things, WCOS is Microsoft’s attempt to make Windows more efficient and modular. According to rumours, Microsoft is likely working on tweaking user interface and elements of apps on Windows 10 to support a new family of foldable devices.

However, Microsoft hasn’t officially confirmed the development of WCOS and this version of the operating system is still not public, and it isn’t clear when it will be unveiled. Needless to say, Microsoft’s attempt to prepare a new version of Windows for foldable devices suggest that the company is willing to invest in both software and hardware for new form factors.
