    26H2 is not available yet and not related to 28000.

    I mean 26H1 28000 builds.
    Don't be so scrupulous(as always).

    With this build stuff the numbers need to be correct, that's what it all is about.

    I noticed that when i follow links to other forums nobody corrects this and it leads its own live on there.

    Is there a way to use the retail version of 28000 on x64 hardware?

    Yes, the same as it usually is.

    One more question: If this version is specifically aimed at ARM devices, why is there a x86_64 flavor of it?
    Testing on a VM it seems to be more stable/slightly faster than 26100/200/300.

    I think that way msft gets more testers, those who buy those new arm64 laptops aren't usually testers but normal users.

    Replaced Enterprise 25H2 with 26H1 on my main PC.. its very, very stable. While functionally identical to 25H2.

    I don't use Xbox, so I use Samsung's NVMe driver for my Samsung 9100 PRO noticeable works better then MS default
    Now just debating since MS is screwing updates on 25H2 if 26H1 fresh install is the way to go for now

    The latest Samsung NVMe driver v3.3.0.2003 WHQL dated 01/21/2020 works properly with all Samsung NVMe SSDs, but the user may have to force its installation by using the "Have Disk" option.
