Can't Move from Release Preview to Beta Channel
!!! SOLVED: After a day and a restart, Beta and DEV Channel are now selectable. Thanks!!!
Hi. Is anyone able to help me?
I remember selecting the Beta Channel (as it is considered recommended) back when I upgraded from windows 10 to 11. However, I'm receiving a popup message right now stating that my insider build would expire soon. After viewing the Windows Insider program in settings, I noticed that I'm in the Release Preview channel and both Beta and Dev Channel were greyed out. I wanted to move on to Beta or Dev channel to remove this popup expiration message. What should I do?
For context, here are my PC Specs:
Windows 11 Single Home Language
Ryzen 5 3400G Processor
16GB RAM
Secureboot Enabled
TPM 2.0 Enabled
Here's a preview of what I'm talking about:

Hi Deleted. I visited the site and I'm just about to download the ISO when I receive the error message.
Windows 11 Insider Preview - Beta Channel >> English - United States >> Error - We encountered a problem processing your request. Please try again later.
Can you help me out with this one? Thanks a lot.
- GrldPsclCopper ContributorHi Deleted. I just realized that this is not my favorable option. I don't want to erase all my files and apps all over again just to upgrade from Release preview to Beta Channel. Do you know some way to do this without ISO's and clean install of windows? Thank you.
- DeletedDownloading the ISO and configuring the installation (as an in-place upgrade does not remove the settings of files and applications), but it seems that re-logging the computer on the official Insider website and restarting the computer helped.
