Have any other people received emails inviting them to join the Windows Insider Panel?

I received an email inviting me to join the Windows Insider Panel, but I am unsure if this is legitimate or a scam. Has anyone else also received such an email, and if so, what has been your experience with it?

  • Hi, Microsoft does send research and survey invitations, but the safest approach is to verify this one without clicking its links. Check the full sender address and message headers, then navigate to the Windows Insider site directly from microsoft.com and see whether the invitation is mentioned in your account or Feedback Hub. A legitimate survey may use a research partner, so the display name alone is not proof. Do not enter your password, recovery code, or payment information into a survey page. If you share the sender domain and destination domain with personal tokens removed, the community can help assess them.
