Solved If I install the Dev channel build will it remain an inactivated version of Win 11?

If you haven't read the EULA here's the relevant section...
"we grant you the right to install and run one instance of the software on your device (the licensed device)"​
MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS
A dual boot activating from the one digital licence is two instances installed one device, while restoring a backup image means only one instance is installed at any one time. One breaks the terms of the EULA, the other complies.

I was just saying, not making a point ;) .

But with today's back up software, I must say there isn't much of a difference between dual booting and backup restore. Oh, yes there is, according to MS. :rolleyes:

Yes, same here. However, we must remember that Windows 11 is a "Beta version", not an official RTM (Release to Manufacturing or Market). Microsoft has given us what I would call a temporary license to test Windows 11.

View attachment 8325

Note that mine says: This product is licensed under the Microsoft Software License Terms to: and then my Microsoft Account name is inserted.

Now, since I'm on the Insider DEV Channel, that means I'm licensed to continue Beta Testing. It does not mean that if I decide to stop Beta Testing that I can install and use the RTM version without first uninstalling Windows 10. Microsoft's licensing terms are very clear on that.

Or, of course, upgrading Windows 10 to Windows 11. :oops:
