Thanks a lot for helping out. I will definitely give it a go with ODT, but from a brief overview it seems like it is setting pretty much the same attributes that I already tried using PowerShell (essentially setting OfficeC2RClient.exe /changesetting Channel=Insiders) and then starting an update. This only gave me the result that my Office is already the latest version.
I changed my user to target release using the O365 admin portal the first time months ago - and it worked well on my old laptop. On my new, however, it did download and install a newer version (same as on my old) but not labelled "target". This is the only difference (apart from missing functionality).
Nevertheless, I will look into your suggestions and see what that leads to.

Are you sure you're on the same version, go to File > Office account and over on the right under there should say your version, just because it says one vs. the other doesn't mean it's same version exactly. should be like 1812 or something around that, and both should match, just saying targeted and not, isn't going to matter, the version is what matters.

Well, at least it says under "Account" that it has the same version and build.
