New Build Structure for Windows 11 26H1

Microsoft is rolling out a new build number series for Windows 11 version 26H1. Insiders in the Experimental (26H1) channel will now receive builds in the 28100 series, while a new Beta (26H1) channel based on the 28000 series is also launching.

Insiders can switch between the Beta (26H1) and Experimental (26H1) channels through Settings, Windows Update, Windows Insider Program, and by selecting the experience.
