Microsoft has scheduled a Windows and Surface event for October 7, 2026, in San Francisco. The event is expected to focus on strategic advancements in hardware and software, specifically the integration of artificial intelligence across the computing ecosystem.

A primary theme is ‘local AI’, which enables artificial intelligence to run directly on a PC rather than relying on cloud servers. This includes anticipated updates to the Surface Pro and Surface Laptop lines, as well as advancements in cloud tools and the evolution of the Copilot virtual assistant. 

Microsoft is collaborating with NVIDIA to co-develop a Windows platform and security features for on-device agents. NVIDIA has introduced RTX Spark, a platform designed for personal AI agents. Microsoft has already introduced the Surface Laptop Ultra, which supports NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPUs and can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally.
