- 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.

Comparing Windows 11 26H1 build 28000.xxxx (Bromine core) performance with Windows 11 26H2 26300.xxxx (Germanium core).
Hello!
A few posts ago we discussed about 26H1 special version of Windows 11 that is based on Bromine core and according to Google AI might be faster than the regular version 25H2 (26200.xxxx) and 26H2 (26300.xxxx) that are based on older Germanium core. They say AI can be wrong, so I wanted to compare the two versions myself. I created two identical virtual machines in VMWare with 3rd generation Intel Core-i7 3770 CPU (host CPU, see 2nd system specs), 4GB RAM and 64GB NVMe virtual SSD. I installed all available Windows updates and then installed Geekbench 7 and run the CPU test in each. I could not run the GPU test because VMWare II SVGA 3D graphics card is not supported by the benchmark.
Verdict: It seems that AI is wrong. The good old Germanium core outperformed the "faster" Bromine core. So for best performance stick to the standard versions 25H2 and 26H2. See the respective screenshots:
CPU test results for the host (see 2nd system specs):

Well, I already run Windows 11 25H2 (Germanium) and I don't plan to reinstall from scratch just to run 26H1 (Bromine). I will install 26H2 Enablement Package to switch to 26H2.
