    Your Windows key is Stored in the same Microsoft Account that you registered for Windows Insider and that you use to login to Windows (hopefully). 

     

    One cannot leave Insider unless it's the time window to do so. It's clearly written in the terms and learn.microsoft.com and flight hub blogs. 

    OS reinstall is required. Search Microsoft Windows 11 24H2 iso download and Prepare a pen drive with the Media Creator,please.

Wait please. This won't work for me. I contacted windows support the other day about problematic Windows Security. Multiple things went wrong with Win Sec. Windows specialist told me to use the Media Creation Tool and install a fresh Windows 10 and it would take care of my security issues. I did so. However instead of Media Creation Tool installing a fresh Windows 10 it installed Windows 11 which I've been denying the upgrade for two years or more now. I did a rollback to Windows 10. However, not only did the Windows 11 install not fix the security issues nor the rollback to Windows 10 I still have that 1st major issue it somehow signed me up for Windows 11 Insider Preview edition which blocks all Windows Updates and the agent from today says Insider gets in the way of the Windows technicians from troubleshooting my security issues. So, you see I can't wait for a time window to leave Insider I must leave it immediately. Oh. BTW the Windows 11 install screwed up many things e.g. added an Administrator to my system. I must leave Insider immediately please somebody.
