    I don't think its a good idea to use your data to download it.. do you have wifi?

    It shouldnt' take that long though there is no ISO you could use to in-place upgrade it exept you want to go to Canary Channel which is unrecommend.

    Yes, preferably - remove those answers - which are confusing.

    Best regards

    HI Vasanth, that is correct, you were not in the Beta Channel in the first place, you are in the dev channel as that is a dev build.

    There is no way to go to Beta as Beta is a lower build, apologies for the earlier confusion.

    Except you do a clean install!

    There should be no issues with the Dev Update and you should go the Windows Update way as that is the most latest update!

    Yes, but do not rush, restart the computer and check for updates normally, because the switch was on Beta - this update could not download and install, I think everything will be fine:)

    You can download ISO (23526) and perform an update in place, of course about the beta version - forget it!

    Open notepad and paste:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
    "BranchName"="Beta"
    "ContentType"="Mainline"
    "Ring"="External"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\UI\Selection]
    "UIBranch"="Beta"
    "UIContentType"="Mainline"
    "UIRing"="External"

    Then save it as "Switch_to_Beta_Channel.reg" then run the file, click yes and restart the computer.
