Hi, I have been a Windows Insider member since 2014. I have the Canary version on my machine, which I use daily, that is, my main machine. On another machine I have the DEV version. I take a weekly backup from my main machine to an external hard drive, which I do not keep connected to the machine except when taking the backup. In the beginning, the versions had a lot of problems, and I often had to reinstall Windows from my backups. I think it was an exciting time, and I learned a lot. Could you share less tested versions in the future? 😀😍

    Those would be internal builds and those

    are not shared with Insiders.

    Canary si more focused on core testing,

    whereas Dev is more about features.

    I have understood that. However, Microsoft could be more courageous in sharing new releases with the Insider community. They have been constantly warning about the danger of new versions. That’s why I also take a backup of the entire hard drive once a week. Let’s play boldly, as it was at the beginning of Insider. That’s when the program develops best. Crazykats would get more comment when discussing problems. 😂
