Insider Program

Hello can you tell me when I try to go into the insider program it says "this won't take long" and then it just sits there for hours and does not open

    Its a Dev build, and its an automated ( Pre-Created Message ), the coding/process is not optimized.
    I have a pretty high end PC and it still took me 17 minutes.

    Average 2021 PCs with low end SSD or Hard drive will probably take 36-42 minutes.

    " This won't take long " You hear this from friends/family when waiting for them to visit you or pick you up, or when your on hold via the phone... its always longer than you would think.

      Well I am still waiting to to get past "this won't take long" I can start it off and leave it all the time I am on the PC, and hours later go in to check and it is still saying "this won't take long" I have just upgraded to winver 21H1 and still doing the same thing lol I was hoping to try Win11 but not looking too promising
