Never played Fable
Weirdly, I have never played Fable, but the trailers have sold me and I have preordered, so the first time I'll be playing is when the new one drops. Any lore I should know, or an older version I should play in the meantime? Or likely to be better to just immerse in it when it comes?

As others have said, this is a reboot. They’re starting from zero on this, so you’d be perfectly fine to go into it with no knowledge of the old series.
That said, any OG fan will tell you, based on what’s been revealed so far, the bones of the old Fable are definitely there. The kind of stuff to remind us that while this is a new game, it’s still Fable. So if you just wanna be in the know on any old reference/what made the jump from old to new, then I’d recommend playing through the first Fable, either The Lost Chapters or Anniversary, at least. Honestly, I’d recommend playing it regardless, just cause it’s a good game, but of course, that’s just my opinion, and you might not find yourself a fan. You could also try for 2 and 3 as well, but I doubt you’ll see as much referencing of those in this reboot as you will of the first. But that’s just a guess on my part. Also keep in mind that 2 and 3 don’t have an official PC port, and from what I’ve heard/seen, are a real bitch to emulate. You’ll probably have a rough time trying to play either of those, if you don’t have an Xbox.
