Microsoft has released the evaluation ISO image for Windows 11 26H2. This version is primarily designed for corporate IT administrators to test system compatibility within their existing infrastructure before a wider rollout.

The evaluation build is based on the KB5129195 OOB update, identified as build 26300.9457. Users can access the system without activation and utilize it for a free trial period of 90 days.

The company advises that this specific ISO is not intended for standard home users. For those seeking to experience the 26H2 version, Microsoft recommends using the updated Media Creation Tool to install the consumer-facing release.
