@jonathan859 Yes you just download the version from the announcement - https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2026-1beta1/ - and when you run it, don't choose "install" but instead choose "Create portable copy" - we wrote a little about it in our blog awhile back: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-21st-december-2023/#portable
@shawnak Yes, that is what we generally encourage. Don't install the beta, but create a portable copy from it, then you can run it, test out the fixes and new features, and know you can always go back to your previously installed copy.
NVDA 2026.1 Beta 1 is now available for testing! Info & Download: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2026-1beta1/
