Microsoft has confirmed that it will begin testing new behind-the-scenes platform changes for Windows 11 with Insiders in the Dev Channel via a new series of builds in the 26200 range. This is likely intended to lay early groundwork for version 25H2, which is expected to release later this year.
According to my sources, Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon X2 SoC requires platform changes that were previously only available in the Windows Canary Channel. Microsoft looks to be backporting those platform changes to the Dev Channel, which should allow X2-powered devices to run Germanium-based versions of Windows 11.
