So the x64 build 28020.xx is timebombed now, but an already installed 28000 will keep working (forever)? Yet it grabs canary updates instead of the retail updates?
Yep. Should be, will become 26H2 and retail available for x64 too in the second half of 2026. 28000.xxxx arm64 should take retail channel updates (or enrolled into the canary channel it will also be upgraded to 28020) and x64 will remain canary and be upgraded to 28020.xxxx I have no arm64 device so i can't tell from experience.
there are NAME, DESCRIPTION, DISPLAYNAME, DISPLAYDESCRIPTION it looks like they are using NAME instead of DISPLAYNAME for inplace upgrade, so try to change the NAME it doesn't matter much since FLAGS is more important upd: just tried it, nope seems like this stuff is hardcoded somewhere
It does matter because nobody will be able to guess what Pro is which of the 4 choices. Yeah, it is hardcoded it seems (probably in branding.dll), the MAS crew also checked it an no solution found. I also tried this code from @abbodi1406 as a test: Code: set dsc="Win 11 (%BRANCHE%) Professional x64 %LANG% (%BUILD%.%DELTABUILD%)" wimlib-imagex.exe info "AiO\x64\Sources\aio.install.wim" 9 %dsc% %dsc% --image-property DISPLAYNAME=%dsc% --image-property DISPLAYDESCRIPTION=%dsc% --image-property FLAGS="Professional" and the other indexes with their info.
I meant for index structure anyway, it's definitely the new installer, so someone could check the binaries another msft innovation, I'm not impressed anymore
If you know how to invoke the upgrade to use the legacy setup. As shown from boot it works as expected, only upgrades don't show the new index info.
I've never tested it, that's why I asked Are you launching the upgrade from setup.exe in the root directory of the image ? Have you tried the one in the Source directory ? That's the one used for a clean install and old setup
At the very beginning of the 24h2 version, to get the old setup, I used the 23h2 ISO and replaced the 23h2 install.wim file with the 24h2 one. Wouldn't that work for the upgrade ? EDIT : Use the 23h2 ISO and copy install.wim from 26h1. But again, I haven't tested it for a clean install, so I haven't tested it for an upgrade.
I edited my post. I figured that if it worked for the 24h2 / 25h2, maybe it would work for the 26h1 as well (unless Microsoft has changed something) The setup.exe file to launch the upgrade would be the one from 23h2
For official upgrade the better sku are education , because support large edition " windows home #core , pro, pro education , education, workstation , enterprise ) and minimum build are windows 8.1
