    How to Choose to Skip Ahead to Next Version of Windows 10 for Insiders in Fast Ring


    Fast ring will see a Skip ahead to the next Windows release drop-down in their Windows Insider Program Settings.

    See also: Insider Previews updates, rings and support | Windows Insider Program

    Starting with Windows 10 build 19018, Microsoft will not be offering Skip Ahead as an option for Insiders to sign-up for.

    This tutorial will show you how to skip ahead to the RS_PRERELEASE branch for 20H1 builds of Windows 10 for Insiders in the Fast ring.

    *Warning You must be signed in as an Fast ring to skip ahead.

    *Warning Before choosing to skip ahead – there are a few things to keep in mind: builds from RS_PRERELEASE will get less stable as teams start checking in new code. So just like Insider Preview builds usually are after a Windows 10 release, things will likely be a little rough. If this concerns you or makes you uncomfortable dont choose to skip ahead and simply wait for the Fast ring to transition back to RS_PRERELEASE down the road. Microsoft also needs to have Windows Insiders in the Fast ring helping them get Windows 10 RS6 ready and giving them feedback on issues they are experiencing. So there will be a limit as to how many Windows Insiders can skip ahead. Once that limit is met, the UI on the flight settings page will notify Windows Insiders trying to choose to skip ahead that its been closed.

    Build 16251 Skip Ahead to Next Windows Release

    Mike P,

    The only two ways I know is from Updates or ISO. The ISO is not for every Build.

    Can you tell me another way.

    Thanks,

    Tony
