     I downloded the Server Insider version using my Microsoft account. (I am a member of the Windows 10 Insider program).

     

       The product keys for Standard and Datacenter are listed in the release announcement on the Windows Insider website. It also tells you how to download the ISO.

Thanks - I did manage to download and install it in the end.

 

For anyone else reading the https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/07/13/announcing-windows-server-insider-preview-build-16237/#uooZkLK7GuZimOMQ.97 does give the product keys:

 

The following keys are available for unlimited activations of Windows Server. These keys may be used throughout the pre-release cycle.

 

  • Server Datacenter Core: B69WH-PRNHK-BXVK3-P9XF7-XD84W
  • Server Standard Core: V6N4W-86M3X-J77X3-JF6XW-D9PRV

What do I input to continue the install?

    Belive you have installed Core Edition of Windows Server Insider Build.

    This is a Windows Core server edition. Install RSAT tools (Can be downloaded from where you downloaded the ISO) on a Windows 10 client to configure the server.

      PowerShell
      Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/wsl-ubuntu-1604 -OutFile ~/Ubuntu.zip -UseBasicParsing
      This is where I can advance not further.
      I keep getting prompted aka.ms is unresolved.

        Just tried that from my Windows 10. Works fine. Maybe a DNS error. Have you tried to ping aka.ms?
