Totally frustrated with Windows Insider Beta

Totally frustrated with Windows Insider Beta

 

I'm in the Beta Insiders program on my Windows 11 laptop and I don't have any of the new features like Excel with Python access or inserting pictures into cells, etc

 

 

I'm in the Beta Insiders program on my WIndows 10 desktop; and Excel with Python is there .... but does not work. If I fire it up with =PY , even the simplest code does not execute (whether I try to read some data into a dataframe, or even just execute 1+1, I get an error every time  ... #BUSY .... then  ...  #PYTHON!)

 

I teach Windows and all Microsoft Office programs and I need to be able to access these new features before they are generally available to the public.

 

PLEASE HELP!

    Some of the Features will show up in later Updates as they are finalized for download. If you want to test the new features now you will have to go to either Dev or Canary Channel but be aware these Updates can be very buggy as these Flights are in testing being tested before they are sent out to the public.
