The software giant has explicitly confirmed that version 26H1 is not an upgrade path for computers running Windows 11 25H2 or any earlier release.<\/p>\n<p>This release is designed exclusively for new ARM64 hardware and will ship only on next-generation computers, starting with devices powered by Snapdragon X2 Plus, Elite, and Extreme processors. Systems based on Intel or AMD platforms will never receive Windows 11 26H1 through Windows Update or any other supported upgrade channel.<\/p>\n<h2>Preview build download<\/h2>\n<p>To download and install this Windows 11 build, <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/install-windows-11-insider-preview-builds\/\">enroll your devices in the<strong> Canary <\/strong><strong>Channel<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0through the &#8220;Windows Insider Program&#8221; settings from the &#8220;Update &amp; Security&#8221; section.
