Microsoft has released a new build of the Windows Server Insider Preview. This month"s build 25236 is now available to download as an ISO from the Windows Server Insider website along with a VHDX. It contains both the (Windows 11) Desktop Experience as well as a Server Core installation option for Datacenter and the Standard edition.
