Microsoft reportedly pushes back Windows 10X, Surface Neo releases to 2021

Microsoft Surface Neo

It hasn't been confirmed yet, but rumour has it Microsoft plans to push back the release of Windows 10X and the hardware that supports this new platform to 2021. Windows 10X is designed to work on machines with dual displays, like the Surface Neo it was planning to ship with the Windows 10X onboard. Panos Panay, Microsoft's chief product officer, reportedly told his team that the new platform and the dual-screened Surface Neo wouldn't come out this year. And that third-party manufacturers won't be allowed to launch devices running on the operating system either. We have no word yet on what will happen with the Surface Duo.

The likely cause of the delay is the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, reports claim Microsoft also wanted to prioritize getting Windows 10X running on single-screen devices like 2-in-1s first before introducing it to the public. But Microsoft wants to launch some of the platform's features before it becomes available. So, we might see some Windows 10X features crop up in a future Windows 10 update.
