Learn how to install Java JDK 26 on Windows 11, configure JAVA_HOME and PATH, verify the installation, and run your first Java 26 program.
In this step-by-step tutorial, I install Oracle JDK 26.0.1 on Windows 11 and explain each part of the setup. I also briefly compare Java 25 LTS with Java 26 so you can choose the appropriate version for your requirements.
You will learn:
✅ How to download Java JDK 26 for Windows 11
✅ How to install Oracle JDK 26
✅ Java 25 LTS vs Java 26
✅ Where the JDK is installed
✅ How to configure JAVA_HOME
✅ How to add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to the Windows PATH
✅ How to verify Java using java -version
✅ How to verify the compiler using javac -version

The Java program used in this tutorial:
void main() {
IO.println("Hello, Java 26!");
}
Save the program as Hello.java and run it using:
java Hello.java
Compact source files and instance main methods were finalized in Java 25 through JEP 512 and continue to work in Java 26.
