Beta and Dev Channels options are not showing up (Windows 10)
Note: This question is nothing related to Windows 11.
I have installed the below Windows 10 Insider ISO (Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.1052))on my Hyper-V virtual machine.
When I go to Windows Insider Settings, I only see the Release Preview Channel, as shown below.
Why is Beta and Dev Channels not getting shown? Can someone help me why such behavior?
Thanks,
Kamlesh

- I'm also having the same problem.
I deleted the existing VM and recreated a new VM from scratch and noticed that I am getting all 3 channels (Dev, Beta, Release Preview).
Looks like some temporary issue with Windows Insider Setting!
Windows Insider Program tab
Windows Insider Pick your Channel
how did you do that?
can you explain to me .kamlesh-rao- Created New HyperV Virtual Machine with default settings as I did before. No changes or special setting.
- How do I do this on my main PC (Computer) ??
- you can send video please
Most probably the partition style of your primary hard drive (OS Drive) is Legacy Style. Convert it to GPT. That should do the trick.
i solved i am giving link click that and watch it solve it
thank you
- Iam following same procedure but only showing dev channel
- In my window only dev channel is showing any procedure without cleanup go to beta channel. Anyone help me regarding these
kamlesh-rao Because Windows 11 is announced to Dev and Beta channels so Unsupported pcs don't get option to enroll Dev and Beta channel
