Microsoft confirms October 7 event: Windows, Surface hardware, and local AI models

Microsoft has confirmed its October 7 event will focus on Windows, Surface hardware, and Nvidia RTX Spark. It streams today at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET on the official Windows YouTube channel, with CEO Satya Nadella, Windows + Devices chief Pavan Davuluri, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on stage.

The event signals an aggressive push to make Windows a platform for local AI workloads, continuing the company's long effort to modernize the OS for high-bandwidth AI hardware. Microsoft has teased RTX Spark alongside "new experiences designed to unlock more possibilities for developers and builders."

Watch for what actually ships: the Surface Laptop Ultra and Surface RTX Spark Dev Box are real but pre-release, so pricing, availability, and final software support matter more than spec reveals. Windows 12 is reportedly not on the agenda — this one is about local AI running on the PC.
