Windows 11 DEV this is legal update to Windows 11?

Good afternoon, I upgraded to the Windows 11 Dev channel with Windows 10 before the official release of windows 11.
Now I can't go to the Beta channel with DEV and upgrade to the release version of Windows 11.

 

  1. Can I continue to stay in the insiders program DEV Win11 without fear of losing the upgrade to windows 11 when I quit the insiders program?
  2. After I quit Insiders programm DEV will I remain on windows 10 without the ability to upgrade to windows 11 ?
  3. If I participate in insiders program win 11 DEV, does it count that I have already officially upgraded my windows 10 to windows 11 ?

    as far as I know, i can only upgrade from windows 10 to windows 11 for free for a limited time, but because I can't switch from the DEV channel to BETA or Reliase I don't know if I am already upgraded or not

        Yes of course.
        But remember that dev versions. need to be updated - because they are only valid for a while!
        To install the stable version at any time - you need to perform a clean installation of Windows and it can be immediately Windows11 stable.
        Good luck

    Hello

    There is no specific deadline for installing updates to the stable version of Windows11.

    But in your case - to lower the channel you need to perform a clean installation of Windows - which will delete your personal files - remember this!
