Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise Version 26H1 x64
build 28000.1450 (c) Microsoft Corp.

Windows 11 is the next client operating system, and includes features
that organizations should know. Windows 11 is built on the same
foundation as Windows 10. If you use Windows 10, then Windows 11 is a
natural transition and update to what you know, and what you're familiar
with.

It offers innovations focused on enhancing end-user productivity, and
is designed to support today's hybrid work environment.


Windows 11, version 26H1 is a specialized Windows release designed to
support the next generation of hardware innovation in partnership with
device manufacturers and silicon partners. This release is available
only preinstalled on select new devices coming to market in early 2026
and is intentionally scoped for these platforms.

The first devices launch with Qualcomm Snapdragonr X2 Series processors.

Windows 11, version 26H1 isn't a feature update
Unlike annual Windows feature updates, such as versions 24H2 and 25H2,
Windows 11, version 26H1 isn't offered through Windows Update. This
means that it can't be installed as an in-place update on existing
devices. Windows 11, version 26H1 isn't intended for broad deployment
across the existing Windows 11 ecosystem.

For IT admins, Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2 remain the recommended
releases for enterprise deployment, with no changes required to existing
rollout, update, or purchasing plans. Organizations that wish to
evaluate new hardware platforms can choose to adopt version 26H1
selectively, without impacting the rest of their environment.
