@JamminJerry There is an "Update channel selector" which lets you do it from within NVDA, otherwise, download the beta and install that and that will move you over to the beta / RC channel. Similiarly, install an alpha or stable version to jump to those channels.

(I see your next post saying you installed the beta, but thought I'd reply to this one for anyone seeing this)

@JamminJerry It might be because you were already on an alpha and thus already using a 2025.x build from the point of view of add-ons - so you would have needed to tell it to show you incompatible add-ons (and then you'd have to overrride that compatibility check AND hope that add-on actually did work........ installing the beta manually was definitely the easiestr for THIS particular situation)

@fireborn @kellylford @JeffBishop Aaron, we do get asked about ARM support regularly and I was thinking it would be a great opportunity to write up an article on someone using a newer surface - would you be interested in sharing your experience? I'd like to write up something like nvaccess.org/category/nvda-sto… - if so, please email me, quentin@nvaccess.org

@JeffBishop The last time I tried it, NVDA generally had no issues, but there were some painpoints, I think, with Window's emulation layer which did not at all give it a polished experience, felt like beta at best. Note that my test of that was in the Summer (northern hemisphere) of 2024, so hopefully things have gotten better since then.
