Get the first official Windows 11 builds directly from the Insider circuit on any PC.

Yesterday we wrote about the impossibility imposed by Microsoft to be able to receive the Build Insider Preview of Windows 11 if you do not have devices that meet the minimum hardware requirements necessary to run the new operating system. We also underlined how Microsoft has decided to reward the Insiders present before June 24 in the Dev channel of the circuit, who will receive the Build of Windows 11 even if their PCs do not have the required hardware specifications.
Also yesterday, I promised you that in one way or another I would find the way (by downloading official files, of course) to get you Windows 11 and its news coming next week in the Insider circuit, even if your PC is not eligible to subscribe to the Dev channel.
Finding Microsoft's choice questionable enough, I woke up this morning thinking that I had once written somewhere a guide to joining a loop of Microsoft's closed Insider circuit after a set date. Turning among the almost 5,000 articles of this blog, I found the post that vaguely came back to me in the morning. The ring in question was the Skip Ahead (remember? Over Fast Ring, the current Dev) and the article is this .
Before opening it I thought that most likely we could apply the same procedure to access even now a channel of the Insider circuit that is effectively closed (unless you have a PC, I repeat, that meets all the minimum requirements for Windows 11 ) .
Opening the article, I realized that the operations to be done to obtain the result are now even minor. Just a couple of clicks and that's it. Read on that we get to the point.
I'm writing (as many of you know) from Windows 11 Build 21996.1 , the famous first build leaked online before the presentation event, but the process sure works on devices running any version of Windows 10 as well .
First of all, if you do not belong to one of the other 2 channels, enroll the device in the Insider Program , through the usual operations from Windows Settings: Windows Update> Windows Insider Program> Get started. As mentioned yesterday, if you do not have a PC that meets the minimum requirements of Windows 11 , after June 24 the only channel available for new subscribers to the Insider circuit is Preview versions (Release Preview). Well, choose to subscribe to that channel, complete and restart your device to make the transition to the Insider circuit effective.
For those who are already inside the program (even in Beta, the steps are the same) the steps to follow are only the following.
Once the PC is regularly registered in the Insider circuit, let's make a couple of harmless and reversible changes to the registry of your Windows (10 or 11) to pass the device to the Dev ring and enable it, therefore, to receive the prime build of Windows 11 .
Right on Start > Run > Regedit (type)> Enter> Yes to UAC Control.
In the registry editor navigate by following the path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ WindowsSelfHost \ UI \ Selection
In Selection, on the right side, locate the UIBranch key . This will be set to Beta or ReleasePreviev depending on which channel the device you are operating on is located.
Double click on UIBranch to open the window with the value data. Delete the value you have (Beta or ReleasePreview) and replace it by writing Dev , clicking OK to confirm.

Repeat the same operation with the same change (you will find BranchName instead of UIBranch where you can enter the Dev value ) in the path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ WindowsSelfHost \ Applicability

In both destinations (Selection and Applicability), also verify that the values of the items containing ContentType and Ring are set (otherwise do it manually) to Mainline and External , respectively . Everything, as in the pictures I posted to you.
When done, close Regedit and restart your Windows (10 or 11) or Windows Explorer from the Task Manager.
Upon reboot, go to Settings> Windows Update> Windows Insider Program and verify the correct passage of your device without hardware requirements to run Windows 11 to the Dev distribution channel of the Insider Program , regularly ready for the first official download of the new software, coming soon in the next days.
