Windows 10: I am an insider user of Win 10 and I'm stuck.

I have been a Windows 10 insider for some time. My machine is judged as not suitable for Windows 11. The insider version of 10 is about to be withdrawn. I would like to go back to the ordinary version of WIndows 10 Pro I bought but it says I can't step back and save my files and work but must make a clean start which is a bit horrifying.Any ideas how I can back out of insider, re-install windows 10 pro and get down to work?

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

 

Windows 10 Insider 15007 stuck at 95%.

Sup people! Happy New Year to those I haven't given it to. I'm having some serious problems trying to upgrade to the latest Insider build. I'm currently in 15002.1001 on the fast ring. I'm stuck downloading the updates @ 95%.

I have done the following:

1. Stopped the Windows Update Service and deleted the all the files inside the Downloads folder from the SoftwareDistribtuion (I needed to finish those steps in Safe Mode because it wouldn't delete them while "normal", even with taking ownership).
2. Tried running "latestwe.diagcab" (Windows Update Troubleshooter) and it fixed the Database Corruption Store from the Windows Update.
3. I have turned off Delivery Optimization (the one which shares Windows Update from local PCs and from the Internet).
4. I've rank Disk Cleanup and CCleaner and cleaned everything up.
5. Ran sfc -scannow and chkdsk -f and no problems were found.

I seriously do not know what else I can do, except for doing a manual update from Winaero's blog (Download Windows 10 Build 15007 ISO images - Winaero) or a clean install (Which I'd like to avoid).

Any other suggestions?

 

WIN 10 Insider preview NOT activated

I installed win 10 insider preview some time ago, unfortunately the last update (10547) screwed it up, so I tried the recovery / reset function.

Not a good idea, since I did this it says 'Activate Windows' but activating just comes up with an error.

The microsoft hotline suggested I should buy a new key? Or install win 8 upgrade to 8.1 and than to 10!

My provider sure will love this as I am on a metered connection!

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks
