Microsoft prepares for major Windows 11 update with new platform changes

Microsoft has confirmed that soon it will start testing a fresh set of behind-the-scenes platform updates for Windows 11 through new builds in the 26200 range, now available to Insiders (early testers community) in the Dev Channel. These early tests are believed to be laying the foundation for version 25H2, which is expected to roll out later this year.

According to a report by Windows Central, Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon X2 chip will require specific platform changes that, until now, were only present in the Windows Canary Channel.
