Microsoft to Showcase Windows and Surface AI Event in San Francisco

Microsoft announced it will hold a Windows and Surface event in San Francisco on October 7, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time (October 8, 2 a.m. Japan time), focusing on how local AI will shape the next chapter of PCs. The event will feature Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Windows and Surface head Pavan Davuluri, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. The Verge suggests the RTX Spark PC could be central, as NVIDIA's new SoC for laptops includes 128GB memory, an NVIDIA GPU, and an Arm-based CPU for high-performance local AI. Microsoft has already unveiled the RTX Spark-powered Surface Laptop Ultra, so pricing and release details may be announced. The Verge expects Microsoft to focus on Windows quality improvements rather than unveiling Windows 12, noting the last major Windows event was in May 2024.
