This tutorial will show you how to change your Windows Insider Program channel to the Beta, Experimental, or Release Preview channel to get Insider preview builds of Windows 11 on your PC.

Flighting is the process of running Windows Insider Preview Builds on your device. When you run these early versions of Windows and give Microsoft feedback, you can help Microsoft shape the future of Windows. Once you've registered for the Windows Insider Program, you can run Insider Preview builds on as many devices as you want, each in the channel of your choice.
  • Beta (25H2 or 26H1)
  • Experimental (26H2) for latest features
  • Experimental (26H1)
  • Experimental (Future Platforms)
  • Release Preview (24H2, 25H2, 26H1, 26H2)
The Beta channel is for early adopters and IT professionals who want to see what we plan to ship in the coming weeks and validate the latest Windows updates and features, but still need reliable updates. As part of the Beta channel, you'll receive builds tied to a specific upcoming release, such as one of our H1 or H2 servicing releases. Your feedback is especially important here because it helps engineers ensure key issues are addressed before the next release milestone. Feature rollout in the Beta channel doesn't use Controlled Feature Rollout technology, which means all users get the same features and experiences. You might occasionally see small differences within a feature as Microsoft test variations, but the feature itself will always be on your device. Although the Beta channel represents features closer to general availability and a higher level of polish, this is still prerelease software. Features and experiences included in these builds might never get released, might change over time, be removed, or be replaced and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. As with the Experimental channel, some preview features in active development with Windows Insiders might not be fully localized. Localization improves over time as features are finalized. If you see localization issues, report them through Feedback Hub. Although new features usually land in the Experimental channel before Beta, the two channels represent parallel engineering paths, so there might be cases where features and experiences appear in both channels at the same time. Most users will see these options as 25H2 or 26H1 builds. While users can still move from Beta to Experimental after the changes are implemented on your device, moving beforehand ensures the best continuity of experience for those features.​

The Experimental channel is usually where new features and ideas are released first and is ideal for tech enthusiasts. Insiders in the Experimental channel can access the latest Windows 11 preview builds as we incubate ideas and develop features with longer lead times. You should expect some rough edges and variable stability in this channel. Features and experiences included in these builds might never get released as we try out different concepts and gather feedback. Features might change over time, be removed, or be replaced and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. Some of these features and experiences could show up in future Windows releases when they're ready. Many features in the Experimental channel are rolled out using Controlled Feature Rollout (CFR) technology, starting with a subset of Insiders and ramping up over time as Microsoft monitors quality feedback before pushing them out to everyone in the channel. If a feature has been announced and you don't see it on your device, go to the Feature flags settings page to see whether you can toggle it on manually. Some preview features in active development with Windows Insiders might not be fully localized. Localization improves over time as features are finalized. If you see localization issues, report them through Feedback Hub. The Experimental channel will also contain a further Future Platforms option which is the earliest preview build for Windows and is not aligned to a retail version of Windows. This is aimed at users who are looking to be at the forefront of platform development. Insiders looking for the earliest access to features should remain on a version aligned to a retail build.​

The Release Preview channel will continue to be an advanced option aimed at commercial customers and Insiders who want early access to production builds in the days leading up to broad release. To select Release Preview, you will need to enable it in the ‘Advanced Options’ but the content remains unchanged. These builds are also supported by Microsoft if you're in the Windows Insider Program for Business.​

Depending on your channel today, leaving the Windows Insider Program or even moving between channels can sometimes require wiping your device and doing a clean install of Windows. That can be a barrier both for people considering the program and for Insiders who want to leave. To make this a more streamlined and consistent experience, Microsoft is making some behind the scenes changes to enable Insider builds to use an in-place upgrade (IPU) to hop between versions. This will allow in most cases Insiders to move between Experimental, Beta, and Release Preview on the same Windows core version, or leave the program without a clean install. An IPU takes a bit more time than your normal update but migrates your apps, settings, and data in-place. As Experimental Future Platforms is our earliest preview build option and does not align to a retail production build of Windows, moving to a different channel or out of the WIP program will still require a clean install.

I tried to switch current Dev channel to Beta on the machine which doesn't meet Windows 11 hardware requirements (my PC in profile). Of course I used the Registry modification because Dev is the only available option in Settings, so manual switch is not possible. After OS restart, both Beta instances in Registry survived, but then after opening the Settings, Windows Update they were changed to ReleasePreview, also without an option to switch back to Beta or Dev in this UI (note that Release Preview option is not available even on fully compatible machines, as Shawn uses, because that version is not released yet).

I cannot exactly say whether this was a glitch or a planned future switch from Windows 11 Dev to Windows 10 release on non-compatible PCs. Apparently right now such switching to Release Preview doesn't have immediate (harmful) effect.

However, I decided not to risk and restore the Dev by modifying the Registry again. It happened without problems, the channel is frozen on Dev as before.

This happened to me too on an incompatible machine. If you want to stay on beta channel you can use this script on github : abbodi1406 / offlineinsiderenroll

What it does (in addition to the settings in this tutorial) is disable the Windows Insider online check to stop it resetting the channel. From the readme :

This script takes advantage of undocumented `TestFlags` registry value. If this value is set to `0x20`, all access to online *Windows Insider* services gets disabled. Because of this, we can set our own *Windows Insider Preview* configuration without being overriden by the contact to the service. Since Windows Update does not check if machine is actually enrolled to the program, you will get offered *Insider Preview* builds by just setting correct values in the registry.

When there actually **is** a release preview I'll change it to that. I'm hoping that on general release I can then drop out of insider even on unsupported machine - we will see.

Been an insider since 2014 but facing the dilemma caused by the elevated hardware requirement for win 11.

As far as I can see I have two options:- clean install win 10 (you can't just reinstall win 10 keeping progs and data as the insider ver is higher than the replacement one), or spend a fair bit of money on new hardware.

Looking like I will do the clean install of win 10. Decision is looming as release date of win 11 is in the offing.

It has been a great ride on the insider trail but it looks like the end is nigh for me. Unless I find a cheap advanced new comp!!

I don't have the option to choose the Insider channels anymore.
I know that it's been buggy in the past, so I used the regfile to switch to the Dev Channel and now get this.

When I check for updates, it says that I'm up to date.

I have windows 11 dev build 22509 installed and really like it, but if I was to move back onto the beta channel will all the features from 22509 be overwritten by the next beta update?

Currently, it would take a clean install of Windows 11 to go from the Dev channel to the Beta channel.

Any features in build 22509 would not be in the Beta channel yet.

So, you can't switch back to Beta without a clean install?
That's not good. It's a bit of a trap.
What if you leave the insider program?

When you leave the Insider program, you could wait until the current build you have installed hits public release, or clean install to the current public release. :(

It's easy to go forward with builds, but not backwards.

Restoring an image would be the fastest and easiest way to go back.

OK. That's what I'll be doing right now.

It might be worth making a note in the tutorial about that.
