OS support

Notes
Ships with Windows 11 version 26H1, a release Microsoft preinstalls only on new Snapdragon X2 devices. Microsoft states that 26H1 devices will not move to the 26H2 feature update because 26H1 uses a different Windows core, and that they will receive an update path in a future release. Versions 24H2 and 25H2 are not offered, and Windows 10 is not supported. Linux support is being developed upstream but is not an officially supported configuration.
