Thanks Khou for the response. I followed the link shared by you earlier , updated the registry on my laptop . Hence I got the Beta channel and accepted the license agreement, term & conditions. That means I have joined Microsoft insider Program , Isn't it ?

The screenshot above pasted after following the article available from https://insider.microsoft365.com/en-us/join/windows

Please advise. Thank you

Hi

Thanks for providing us with an update on your current concern.

But after seeing the options that showed on your end. It might be better if you select the recommended channel but it is also best that you seek advise from your IT administrator about this.

Hello

I don't know about the updating registry thing that you have mentioned.

But one thins is for sure, for Business/Education subscription: If the Microsoft 365 license on your device was provided through your work or school, a Microsoft 365 administrator manages your subscription.

Under Product Information, you may see Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, or there may be no license specified. You won’t have the option to install or manage Insider builds unless your administrator has enabled it.

Note: If you are the Microsoft 365 admin for a business or school, see the Microsoft 365 Insider Program for Business information for IT admins.
