after you install it and it downloads and reboots, it comes up as windows 10, then you should go to settings and update and select check for update, then a windows 11 build will download from the updates and install as normal. Also check to make sure that your dev tools are turned on. To do this go to settings and then find the allow remote connection from computers on my network and the allow usb connections option. Toggle those on and you should get a message stating windows is downloading additional tools.
If you have a windows insider account you can go to the insider ISO download page and do it that way

I have tried back-to-back installs of the Windows 11 upgrade (Upgrade indicates it is being installed and getting Windows ready, but no change is actually occurring) several times. I did't have developer mode turned on - just did that and toggled the USB switch as you suggested, and am trying to upgrade again now. Will let everyone know how it goes. BTW, every time it has to re-download the upgrade. Wouldn't it save time if the download was done just the first time (not every time)?

_RBL_ I have selected the Release Preview Channel. I downloaded the ISO (Windows10_InsiderPreview_Client_x64_en-us__19044.iso), but when clicking on it I receive the following message:
If I try to right click on the file then file explorer will restart. Do I need to go out and buy some writable DVDs?
