Towards the end of last month, Microsoft released version 26H2 of Windows 11 in the Release Preview channel of the Insider program, allowing users to try out the upcoming feature update. In fact, this process is possible even on computers that do not meet the official specifications, as third-party software allows system requirements to be bypassed.
Microsoft then started making evaluation ISOs available for testing purposes, which are now available for download from the company’s servers. For those who don’t know, evaluation ISOs — as their name suggests — are primarily intended for businesses and organizations that want to try out the new upgrade. It’s a free 90-day trial that doesn’t require activation, although Microsoft doesn’t recommend it for home use for obvious reasons, as it’s not designed for personal use. Evaluation ISOs are primarily aimed at IT professionals who want to check the suitability and readiness of their systems ahead of the upcoming release of Windows 11 26H2.
