Windows 11 26H1

Slo2025 · February 3

Only for ARM or for PC too?

Until about 90 seconds ago, I hadn't seen any information about 26H1. Google reveals quite a lot. There most certainly isn't an x86 build of 26H1 available right now.

Instead of waiting until the second half of the year like most new version updates, Microsoft will ship a new version of Windows 11 much earlier, which will only be available next-gen Arm silicon.

Unlike 25H2, which is based on the same platform release as version 24H2 (codenamed Germanium,) the next version of Windows 11 looks to be based on the newer Bromine platform release. This means it's a full OS upgrade, and will only be available on new PCs with Snapdragon X2 chips at launch.

One could surmise that while there is nothing for desktop PC's right now, that doesn't mean much for the future.

Why are you worrying about this now? Did you not look into it like I just did when you formed this question?
