Win 11 Insider Release Preview and Beta channels.
Where should I put my settings for 26300.8935 / 26H2? I am confused. There is a 25H2, a 26H1 and Future Platforms. I am not receiving the latest July release because of these setting, I believe.

I wouldn't know myself as I am not an insider but According to co-pilot Unsupported hardware cannot move into Experimental (26H2) unless Microsoft explicitly opens the gate — and right now, they haven’t.

What each Insider option actually means right now​

25H2​

  • This is the stable servicing branch for Windows 11.
  • Devices in Release Preview or Beta with unsupported CPUs are usually locked here.
  • You will NOT receive Experimental builds from this branch.

26H2 (Experimental)​

  • This is where 26300.8935 and 26300.9032 live.
  • Only available to devices that:
    • Are in the Canary or Dev channel
    • Meet hardware requirements
    • Are allowed into “Future Platforms”

Future Platforms​

  • This is the true experimental branch.
  • Microsoft only exposes it to certain hardware classes.
  • Unsupported CPUs almost never get access.

Better get off this one then. Gone too far with my old unsupported HP. Been running good though until now. Thanks for the info. This guy was built for Win 10. 22H2. 26H2 is the limit. Maybe I'll go back to it. Got until Oct. 2027. Who knows?💩

Mine just has 25H2. No option for 26H2 anywhere.😭

Have you looked in Advanced options > Optional updates? If I remember right Dev on 25H2 was offered 26H2 as an optional feature update.

Your unsupported HP isn't old, not compared to my 14 year old System Two with its 1st gen i5. Yours only just misses out with its 7th gen i5. Mine is still getting all the 26H2 updates it should, there's no reason why yours shouldn't too.....

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.
