Will Windows 12 require a subscription, or will it be a one-time purchase?

Although there have been suggestions that Windows may switch to a subscription-based business model, current projections indicate that Windows 12 will have a pricing approach as older ones have. The pricing will be different as per the editions, this strategy would give customers the option of a one-time payment. Microsoft hasn't formally verified Windows 12 release date as all the other information will be confirmed after that.
