No create dev drive button!

I need to create a Dev Drive. I switched to the Windows 11 Insider Preview Dev Channel. Build 23466. I turned on developer mode, downloaded Dev Home, went to options. The options section is "Disks and Volumes", and there is no creation element! When I run fsutil devdrv, it writes me help. How do I create a Dev Drive?

    I can confirm I was facing the same issue.

    The fix seems to have been an upgrade to a "Pro" version of Windows. I was previously on Home and did not see the "Create a Dev Drive" button on my insider build. After upgrading to Pro, I am now seeing the button.

    They should add this to the list of requirements.

      I don't see the button and I have windows pro. My version is 23506.1000 ni_prerelease on the Dev channel.
