Windows 10: Can I use the packaged version of Windows 11 Pro with ARM Windows activation?

I am using a Mac Book Air with windows 11 for ARM installed.For a long time now, I have been getting an error when updating windows and have been unable to install the update KB5028182. The error code is 0x80071ab1.I have tried the following links, parallel desktop upgrade, and MAC OS upgrade, but no improvement, so I initialized from the Windows recovery options, and now the layout is buggy on the initialization screen and I can't press any buttons to proceed to the next screen.https://jp.minitool.com/backup-tips/0x80071ab1.html After speaking with Microsoft Support, I found out that Windows

Windows 11 Pro ARM for Mac with M1

I'm currently running the latest Dev channel of Windows 11 ARM on a Mac with an M1 chip via Parallels. I want to switch to the Pre-release channel but am having trouble figuring out if there is even a Pre-release version of Windows 11 Pro ARM.

I've read that I have to do a clean install of Windows in order to switch channels, but not sure where to find said ARM Pre-release download. The only download I'm seeing in Insider is for Build 22533--which I believe is still a Dev channel build.

Follow up to this question is that my current Windows 11 ARM Dev channel build is activated. How do I transfer my key over to the Pre-release build (if there is one available)?

 

Windows 11 for ARM Public Release?

I was able to change months ago when MS still gave the option to get out of the Insider Builds. I purchased an activation key (though I would have preferred the non-Pro version of Windows 11 as I really don't need the additional things in the Pro version and I believe to run a VM with Windows 11 PRO you also need the PRO version of Parallels) and have been content ever since. But whether it makes a difference at this point - since I did managed to get my Windows 11 PRO ARM version activated - I have no idea. Good luck

 

Can't activate, can't trouble shoot, can't use Windows Help (Windows 11 Pro ARM on VM)

I have been running Windows 11 Pro under VMware Fusion fully activated using a digital license. I recently moved to an M1 Pro MacBook and am currently running Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview ARM using the UTM software. The Windows 11 Pro software is running fine (extremely good actually!), but I cannot activate. I've searched and checked every article. The information I've discovered from other answers:

- My digital key for Windows 11 Pro should activate this machine.

- Troubleshooting the activation doesn't work.

- Choosing Get Help doesn't work as it errors out (There was a problem loading your support options. Please try again).

I understand that this is an Insider Preview version, but also believe that it should be working. It's version Build 22533.

I tried pulling my activation key from the digital signed copy on the previous virtual machine, and although the key isn't rejected, it doesn't activate it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to activate.
