Hey guys!

It's been a long time, but I'm back again...

I have three different systems in my office. Is 26H1 compatible with their hardware?

  1. Intel Core-i9-13900H (ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX507VV4-LP103)
  2. AMD Ryzen 5-8645HS (Victus Gaming Laptop 15-fb2082wm (A14MNUA))
  3. AMD Ryzen 5-3500U (Huawei MateBook D15-WAQ9R)
Thanks.

This is what Microsoft writes about 26H1:
Windows continually works in partnership with our OEMs and IHVs to support new device innovations. Windows 11, version 26H1 is a targeted release that supports some of the new device innovations coming in 2026. That means that this release is not being made available through broad channels but is only intended for those who purchase these new devices. At this time, devices with Qualcomm Snapdragon® X2 Series processors will come with Windows 11, version 26H1.

Organizations should continue to purchase, deploy, and manage devices running broadly released versions of Windows 11 (e.g. versions 24H2 and 25H2) with confidence.

Windows 11, version 26H1 is not a feature update for version 25H2. There is no need to pause device purchases or OS deployments, and no changes required to existing enterprise rollout plans. Windows will continue to have annual feature updates in the second half of the calendar year.

So no, 26H1 is not meant to be compatible with any existing hardware.

There is a 26H1 available for non-ARM devices, but there’s basically no need to install it on anything.
