Note: I'm running the latest Windows 11 insider build.
When I open the Coming Soon pane to try out the new Office design, I see that the toggle is disabled:
How can I turn it on?

I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!
(you can't switch the toggle on BUT you can get the effects of it)
You can force it to show the new UI, with the registry
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yz_kKOSz2uVM8NQi3wesjS7FVIXJPeqa/view?usp=sharing
Download this file, open it, click yes, start any Office 365 Apps that support it (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote)
Now you should have the new UI!
(as a warning it might take a long time to disable this once you enable it, as you have to go to registry, Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentConfigs\ExternalFeatureOverrides go to this folder, click every office app name, and delete the strings that start with Microsoft.Office.UXPlatform... on ALL OF THEM)
I think the new splash screen is kinda bad, but I suppose they will change it later. Some of the buttons are too skinny too (Like the search button)

That is because Outlook is supposed to be turned on separately! BTW, do you have a problem that autosave icon when on is not present? That is because the font is just not there!! Wow.

@BallingZ No, I don't have a problem with autosave. it's probably because this is an insider build and beta builds are very buggy

@TheOnlyTails Well then how do we get it on win10

"I agree to the terms" was somehow deselected (or not selected) in my Office apps.
Selected it, and was able to toggle new Office experience.

Now that this is not only for the Insider channels, I've created an article on this that may answer some questions.
New Experience / Visual Refresh Preview - Microsoft Office - Office 365 - Turning it on and off
It includes registry hacks.
