Can't go from Windows 11 dev channel to release version
I installed the Windows 11 preview from the dev channel back in July without issues and now I'd like to get the release version the 5th of October, but everything is greyed out: beta channel, release...

Yes, it is necessary to perform a clean installation of Windows10 , but all personal files will be formatted, so make copies beforehand.
Dev version. it also requires you to unregister your device from the insider program to get a stable version of Windos11

- If I reinstall windows 10 like you said, what about my MS office? Is it automatically link with my account?
Unfortunately, you will have to reinstall MS.Office and other programs from outside the Microsoft Store too.
But check if your system activation has been synchronized with your Microsoft account - this will automatically synchronize the digital license at startup.
- Ok thank-you
- This is literally the worst choice to install an OS Microsoft has ever did. I updated my main system to it because I figured I'd just get new builds as I've always done, then all of a sudden, I'm stuck on a build and can't do anything about it!? I don't want to reinstall years of data again, I don't have time for that. This is an actual issue, and MS better fix it.
Hello
I also miss a solution to this problem - I also did not receive an answer!
Deleted thanks for the info! Can I download Windows 11 iso when it releases and make a clean install over the dev version (this time backupping files) skipping Windows 10? Or maybe I need to do it from Windows 10 to 'upgrade' my license anyway?
- Now - To get stable Windows11 - you need to have Windows10 , only participants of the RP insider channel - do not need to perform a clean installation,
But when Windows11 stable will be released, you will probably be able to install stable Windows11 immediately after deregistering the device- That would be nice, I'll wait the release day then and see if I can do that. Thanks again!
