Windows 11 kicked me out of WIP on Windows 11.

Hi all.

Today I went to Settings > ... > Windows Insider Program page.

There I was asked to restart the PC.

After I restarted, I saw that I was left out of the Windows 11 Insider Program.

Now I am asked to install Windows 10 and then rejoin the Windows Insider Program Release Preview Channel.

So I understand now it is just about time to say good-bye to my Insider Colleages on Windows 11.

    Hi Sibro,

    Worked like a charm. Appreciated. Guess never paid close enough attention as this was never an issue prior. Always something new to learn. Cheers!

    Created a new vm, copied over 3 small files from activated vm. Retained activation after clean install:

    Now can delete the old legacy vm. Only one more Dev to do. The other 6 vm's with Beta and W10 will get around to it when time available. My concern was retaining activation (Move not Copy when prompted by VMware).

    Regards,

    Hi Johnny,

    I assume it may pass the latest PC Health Check on that Virtual Machine ? Perhaps not the processor , but everything else.

    Did you try ?

    No problem, glad you made it.

    Which files are those that should be copied?

    Not yet. You probably called it correctly though, the CPU will not pass, till moved to new Host. Will run it later to check.

    The second vm gave me issues. I copied .nvram, .vmx and .vmxf. Not positive which one would hold that info. perhaps down the road can play with this. Maybe only one or two of them is needed.

    First one went smooth. This one, first mistake was having snapshots on original vm prior to copying over. Cleared those. Think we have to copy the 3 files prior to Encryption. This one took me several tries to get going. Thought I did exactly same as before. Appears to be a certain combination of events, encrypt, copy, de-encrypt, set bios again, encrypt, not sure.

    Went through a lot of back and forth, it finally proceeded. Think I need a Canadian Gummy right now.

    Even if I wanted to try, VMware player 16 free edition cannot encrypt the Virtual Machine and or use the extra features, so I'm out of the game on this one. 🤔

    Perhaps I'll start playing with Hyper-V to see how far I can get with it or just stick to the hardware compliant boxes. 😉.
