Downloading Windows 10 ARM Preview

I can't download the Windows 10 ARM Preview. I am a registered insider. When I get to this page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewARM64?wa=wsignin1.0 it says I need to sign in--but I believe I am signed in.

I'm thinking the problem may be that I do not have any version of Windows, and so no license? (I'm trying to install this on a MacBook Air in Parallels). If so, should I purchase a license?

    CS1117 , I have used Windows 10 ARM insider preview and recently upgrade to Windows 11 Pro. However, what I noticed in the migration after backing up my contents in Windows 10 ARM (mounted on Parallels VM) to an external HD, and when I mount the external drive  on Windows Pro 11, the external HD is locked. Upon unlocking I am shown the message "The BitLocker encryption on this drive is not compatible with your version of Windows. Please try to open the drive with a newer version of Windows"

    How do I recover contents of my external drive. Pls advice and there was not BitLocker setup in Windows 10 ARM. if I need to follow the message, how do I get Windows 10 ARM insider version to restore my external HD drive.

      HotCakeX the link for the Windows10_InsiderPreview_Client_ARM64_en-us_21354.VHDX file is not available anywhere. Please if you have the downloaded file can you please upload it on google drive and send a link, much better than downloading from shady sites. Thanks!

      Hi. The link gives me a 403-Forbidden page. Is there an updated link for downloading Win10 ARM?
      Thanks!

        There is not a Window 10 ARM Preview available for download. The Windows 11 on ARM Preview vhdx file can be downloaded from https://aka.ms/WIPARM
