i want to leave windows 11 insider program and want to install stable 11
I have a similar issue. I enrolled for the insider preview and to help with windows 11. I now want to go to windows 11 final stable release.
My current version is 22H2 build 22598.1. Will this auto go to stable full build in July when the next major release happens? Or do I need to reinstall windows entirely to get rid of this evaluation copy message.
DodgeMan The build you are currently running is the current build that is in the Dev and Beta Channels. If you want to move your device to the retail version when it is released, be sure your device is configured for the Beta Channel, and enable the setting to stop getting preview builds. You will continue to get preview builds in Beta until the next retail release and will then be automatically moved out.

Eddie Leonard does my data get deleted after the major update gets released because i turned on the stop getting preview builds option?
Retrowo No. Turning on stop getting preview builds allows you to simply upgrade to the latest general release (as long as it's a higher build number), and retaining your data.

Eddie Leonard I Gotcha on that, but what I was asking, was I am currently in the preview, I want to go to stable final public release to get rid of the preview copy message.
- The watermark is normal for preview builds. If you do as I mentioned, it will disappear at some point. If you are in the Dev Channel, or are installing builds via some other method, you could end up in a situation where you have to do a clean installation.
