Every time I try to download the ISO it errors.
I have chosen the latest Beta build, confirmed my location and when I confirm my language choice (English) it pops up with an error.
I am currently on the latest Win 10 build 21H2 (19044.1237), but not enrolled in the insider program as it says it's only for Win 10 builds when I set it up?

I am logged in, but like I said, my current PC build is not enrolled in the insider program as someone recently said it would be smart to unenroll with the imminent launch of Win 11.

So you think I need to enroll again even though it says Win 10 insiders?
My PC is verified as fully compatible with Win 11 (used the tool).

No! I was last an Insider with Win 10 Tech Preview back in the dark ages - my MSA is still registered and I can download Insider builds no problem.

Appreciate the reply, but I'm getting the same error.
I saw a message in the notifications in Windows yesterday talking about getting ready for Win 11.
Not sure if that's because I have all the necessary TPM/Secure boot stuff enabled.

I still can't download the beta insider ISO, keeps saying I need to be part of the insiders program

You can get the ISO for .194 via UUPDump. All you have to do is download the package and run it. It will generate the ISO.

Thanks for that link, but it indicated initially that it would be a 55 minute DL, and now 10 mins later, it shows 34 mins left. Is that what I should expect?
