    Before doing that:

    Make sure you're running the latest version of Windows 10 (Build 19041 or higher).
    Ensure you have enough storage space available on your device (at least 10 GB).
    Back up your important files and data to an external drive or cloud storage.

    Sometimes, channel changes have specific eligibility requirements, especially if moving from a more stable to a less stable channel. Make sure to check the blog posts or insider pages for any potential issues with switching between channels.
