    Information about the Windows Insider Program and how to connect to it is available on the official Windows Insider site and in Windows settings.

    To get started:

    1. Register for the program
      • Go to the Windows Insider Program website and Register with a Microsoft account (the same one used for services like email, Microsoft 365, or OneDrive).
      • Accept the Program Agreement and Privacy Statement and submit. This completes registration.
      • For organizations, registration can also be done with a Microsoft Entra ID work account through the Windows Insider Program for Business page.
    2. Connect a Windows device to Insider builds
      • On Windows 11:
        1. Select Start > Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program.
        2. Select Get Started.
        3. Select Link an account and choose the account used to register for the Insider Program.
        4. Choose an Insider channel and select Continue.
        5. Review the agreements and select Continue.
        6. Select Restart now (or restart later) to begin receiving Insider builds.
      • On Windows 10:
        1. Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program.
        2. Select Get Started.
        3. Select Link an account and choose the account used to register.
        4. Choose an Insider channel and select Confirm.
        5. Review the agreements and select Confirm.
        6. Select Restart now to start receiving Insider builds.
    3. For developers or businesses
      • Developers can follow the “Get started with the Windows Insider Program for Developers” guidance, which also begins with registering a Microsoft account.
      • Businesses can register for the Windows Insider Program for Business using a Microsoft Entra ID work account to manage Insider Preview builds across the organization.

    Once connected, feedback and participation can be managed through the Feedback Hub app, which is included in Windows.

    Hi,

    You need to start here by registering.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsinsider/

    Then you go to Windows Update, Windows

    Insider Program and you have to link your

    Account, choose an Insider Channel, then get the update.

    Don't choose a Channel that you would be uncomfortable

    with having issues, like either Canary Channel.

    Hi,

    The answer to that would start with

    what have you already done.

    Have you registered?

    Did you link your account?

    Did you choose an Insider Channel and

    download a build? If you did, what build?
