Step 2: Stop Getting Preview Builds

On the next page, expand the 'Stop getting preview builds' section and flip the switch ON beside the option 'Unenroll this device when the next version of Windows releases.'

Step 3: Uninstall Windows Insider Program

After that, select Windows Update and click on the Windows Insider Program. You'll now be able to unenroll your device from the Windows Insider program.

Step 4: Download Windows 11 Official Release

Once you've successfully unenrolled from the Windows Insider program, you can download the official release of Windows 11. Simply wait until the process ends and then reboot your system.

To check for any available updates, open the Settings app and go to Update & Security > Windows Update. If an update is available, click 'Download/Install' to begin the installation process.

In conclusion, switching from the Windows Insider program to the stable build of Windows 11 is a straightforward process that requires just a few steps. By following these simple instructions, you'll be able to enjoy the latest version of Windows without any hassle.
