Update from Windows Insider Release Preview 24H2 to DEV channel

I'm trying to switch from the Windows Insider Release Preview (24H2) to the DEV channel, but I'm having trouble figuring out the process. I've tried searching for instructions online, but I'm not sure what steps I need to take to make the transition. I've tried going to the Windows Update settings, but I'm not seeing any option to switch channels. I've also tried using the "Settings" app to update my build, but it's not allowing me to switch to the DEV channel.

Can anyone provide a step-by-step guide on how to switch from the Release Preview channel to the DEV channel? Are there any specific settings or configurations that I need to change?

    To switch from the Release Preview channel to the Dev channel, you'll need to use the Microsoft Edge browser and the Windows Insider Program settings page. Here's a step-by-step guide:

    Step 1: Open Microsoft Edge and navigate to the Windows Insider Program settings page: www.microsoft.com/en-us/insider
    Step 2: Click on the "Get started" button and sign in with your Microsoft account (the same one you use for your Windows 10/11 account).
    Step 3: Once signed in, click on the "Windows Insider Program" tab.
    Step 4: Click on the "Edit" button next to "Your update settings".
    Step 5: In the "Update settings" window, select "Dev Channel" from the dropdown menu under "Edition".
    Click "Save changes" to confirm your selection.
