I am an average user. How do I use Windows Insider to the best of my advantage and what purpose does it function? Is it simply another type of code vault for updates similar to github and other code hosting websites?

    "Is it simply another type of code vault for updates similar to github and other code hosting websites? "

    No. When you sign-in to Windows Insider Program and link your PC to program you can get different level of Cumulative Update previews or full Windows development build previews for testing. What kind of previews you get depend on which preview channel you select.

    You can start to read from this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-insider/

    Note: It's not recommend to use previews as main OS on your only PC. Most of insiders use spare PC's, dual booting or virtual machines.

    Pleas note that 3rd party article behind provided link is written in 2016 and is partially outdated!

    Screenshots and Ring descriptions are outdated as Rings are changed to Channels. New descriptions of Channels is better read from Microsoft official Insider documentation page.
