If they're doing a UI refresh of Windows I hope they don't just put another layer of UI on top of the existing one. It's bad enough that the more you drill down, the further you go back in Windows history with some dialog boxes looking unchanged from Windows 98.

This might also be a point where they are more aggressive in cutting out support for old hardware. 32 bit for example. Also, fully unified support for ARM processors and things that won't compile for both x86 and ARM could also be deprecated to enforce that. Microsoft will be concerned at what's happening at Apple with their M-series chips and can't afford for Windows to be left behind because their legacy support holds them back from successful pushes into ARM tables and laptops.

Obviously in that case they'll have two operating systems. Windows 10 for legacy and corporate environments and Windows 11 as a more consumer facing OS.
