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...
I've ended up doing a clean install of Windows 11 over the dev version because I don't think this transition will get supported, it's called "dev" for a reason. Doing this I solved some specific bugs I had and a clean install is also healthy for the OS so I'm glad I did it. I'm using an ssd + hdd setup and I usually move the data on the hdd and clean install the OS on the ssd, so it's an easy process for me (I only need to reinstall apps and backup their data before). However if you need to go back to the release branch I hope you sort that out.
