Windows 11, version 26H1 is a hardware-optimized release designed to enable next-generation silicon developed in partnership with device manufacturers and silicon partners. This release will be available exclusively as a preinstalled experience on select new devices beginning in early 2026, with capabilities tailored specifically for those platforms.
Windows 11, version 26H1 is not intended as a feature update for existing devices and will not be offered through Windows Update. Devices running Windows 11, versions 25H2 and 24H2 will continue receiving monthly security and quality updates, as well as new features, and remain supported according to servicing timelines and Microsoft lifecycle policies.
For IT admins, Windows 11, versions 25H2 and 24H2 remain the recommended releases for enterprise deployment. While Windows 11, version 26H1 is not intended for broad deployment across existing Windows 11 environments, organizations evaluating new hardware platforms may adopt it selectively without affecting their broader environment.
