    Now, if you reinstall your PC and wipe everything, you might find yourself back in the land of the normal folks—out of the Insider Program. It's like waking up from a dream where you were eating gold-plated pizza, only to find out you’re back to your regular frozen dinners.

    Sign in the Microsoft account and you will be rolled into the insider program automatically after reinstall.

    You know, I was thinking about this whole Windows 11 Insider Program. Isn’t it funny how they call it an "insider" program? It almost sounds exclusive, like a VIP club, but it should really just be called the “Let’s See If Your PC Implodes” program! You sign up, and suddenly you’re the proud owner of a thousand little bugs—free of charge!

    If you log back in with the same Microsoft account after the reinstallation, your Insider status should remain active, and you'll continue receiving Insider builds.

  • When you reinstall Windows, you basically have to think of it as having a new face but the same old drama! If you’ve signed up for the Insider Program, you might be stuck with it like a clingy ex... no matter how many times you wipe the slate clean, they just keep popping back up.

    To add to the answer above, you will still be enrolled in the program but the insider version should not install automatically unless you are reinstalling windows from an insider image. If not, you can leave the program and then install a fresh windows instance. You can also remain in the program and reinstall windows sans insiders build. Every installation allows you to choose your build and version (not counting other restrictions you may have depending on your personal configuration and environment.

    Hello 5642154!

    If you reinstall your PC, you won’t automatically be removed from the Windows 11 Insider Program. You’ll likely still be enrolled in it, and you'll need to manually leave the program through the Settings app under Windows Insider Program options. If you’re having trouble getting out, make sure you follow the steps carefully or try leaving the program from your Microsoft account page.

    Hope it helps!
