Going from a Dev build of Windows 11 to a release preview/beta channel without a clean install
Hello, I've been enjoying trying out the Dev version of Window 11, but recent updates made it so unstable I can barely use it (e.g. right click only now rarely works). I'm keen to get back to Win...
That doesn't answer it but thanks
I understand.
Currently, the Beta channel and the Dev channel. is designed for Windows11.
So you need to install Windows10 - 21H2
- Yes, I'm just trying to find a way to do that without doing a clean install

If there are still problems, the solution is to download the ISO and install it manually.
please write how you manage to fix - it will be helpful to others.
But first you need to unregister from the Dev channel. - it is necessary!
I believe that by installing ISO you can leave your files - the installer should keep them, but a copy is necessary just in case
