    maybe but now I read this

    You cannot officially install Windows 11 version 26H1 on non-ARM devices, as Microsoft designed this release exclusively for specific next-generation ARM silicon like the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 series

    so this is false!

    Nobody says that, not one time it says "You cannot" install it on x64 hardware.

    That is not an article.

    The article would be where the AI slop got it from;)

    Oh wait, it got it from reddit :rolleyes:

    Hi! Could someone please clarify whether version 26H1 receives UI updates and new features, or are feature updates completely absent from 26H1 and only delivered in 2xH2 releases?

    So, right now, it looks like as if any installed 26H1 (x64) leak will recieve updates.
    Until M$ will decide against it...

    What leak?

    26H1 is on MVS as x64 and arm64, can hardly be called a leak;) it is available for seekers and the updates are in the retail channel.

    And again, it will be merged with the mainstream release next year, if all goes as expected.
