Summary
Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for eligible PCs running versions 24H2 and 25H2, with Microsoft starting a controlled rollout rather than broad immediate release.
26H2 arrives as a small enablement package on the same servicing branch, so many devices can install it like a monthly update with a quick download and single restart.
Microsoft said safeguard holds may block some devices with known compatibility issues, while users can opt in early through Windows Update's “Get the latest updates” setting.
Commercial and education customers can deploy 26H2 through tools such as Windows Autopatch and the Microsoft 365 admin center, though some download channels may lag.
The annual feature update resets support clocks to 24 months for Home and Pro editions and 36 months for Enterprise and Education.
