Microsoft Just Split Windows 11 Into Two Different Upgrade Paths

Microsoft has quietly split Windows 11 into two completely different upgrade paths, and depending on your hardware, your PC may already be on a track most users do not even know exists. In this video we break down exactly what happened and why. We explain how devices on 24H2 and 25H2 will get 26H2 through a tiny enablement package, while newer Snapdragon X2 devices running version 26H1 are stuck on a completely separate Arm based platform that will not converge with the main branch until 2027. We dig into why Microsoft made this decision, what it means for security updates on both branches, and why this is not something to worry about even if your device is on the separate track. We also cover the bigger picture, from how this connects to the Arm versus x86-64 shift happening across the PC industry, to what it means for IT admins managing mixed device fleets during this transition. If you own a Windows PC and want to know exactly which upgrade path your device is actually on, this video gives you everything you need to check for yourself in just a few minutes.
