    We already had 28000.1450 from MVS, it is updating in the retail channel for quite a while now.

    What would need to be changed? All is still 28000.1 based.

    There's an interesting post I just read on reddit about 26H1.

    "Slightly perplexed. I've taken delivery of a Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 with an Intel Core Ultra 5 225U processor that seems to have, out of the box, come with a preinstalled image of Windows 11 26H1 / build 28000."

    Looks like I'll be switching to 26H1 for my daily usage :)

    Because of someone claiming he got it pre-installed on a x64 system?

    Yeah I was thinking that because that preinstalled laptop he got came with it so that tells me its good to go for consumer usage, and that laptop has the same series CPU as mine. Also 26H1 is noticeably more performant to me, just feels better than 24H2 and 25H2.

    It is specially made for specific laptops to make commercial use of it, why should it not work on yours?

    28000 is specially made for new ARM64 developments. The x64 28000 branch is just existing without special purpose. Users of 28000.x will not be able upgrading to 26H2.
