bmcguiganSame here.  I only see the windows 11 ARM build and I NEEDED windows 10 to use with an M1 macbook with Parallels.

 

If you're here from a google search trying to find it, here's how.  Grab the HeiDoc Windows ISO downloader tool and sign into your insider account in the program and then on the right hand menu, select the insider preview option.  You should get a drop down list of all the available builds.

 

I ended up getting the 21354 build.  Downloader works great.  I've used it for years to get ISO files.

      tattootroyI grabbed the win10 version first but it will constantly pop up a message saying it's depreciated and windows updates won't work.  I assume that MS abandoned it.  Win11 has some extra stuff under the hood to allow x86 software to run that I'm not sure if the Win10 version has.  I ended up dumping the win10 VM and going to the win 11 version.  Just about everything works but some devices like DB9 console cables don't have ARM drivers so they don't work in windows and I'm not sure what gaming is like either.
