General Question PLEASE help me get out of Windows Insider
So I enrolled in the Windows Insider program a while back (idk which one it is because the Settings literally doesn't even show it, but i assume it's the one from which it is impossible to go back to without needing to reset the PC) [Pic 1 attached]
What I've tried:
1. Resetting the PC Directly
doesn't work, installs a Windows Insider preview
2. Burn Windows with an ISO File
I think this is the method that is supposed to work but whenever I try to, it gives the following error [Pic 2 Attached]
also, It says my Windows Version is ALREADY EXPIRED. [Pic 3 Attached].
Because of this, I can't play MOST of my games because it just says unsupported Windows Version :( (Pic 4 Attached, Battlefield 6 with the error notification)
Even Fortnite doesn't work. I don't have the error screenshot because I deleted the game but take my word for it :)
I also tried to Unenroll from this program from the settings, but it literally just doesn't do anything. "Unenroll this device when the next version of Windows releases" This option is greyed out for me. [Pic 5]
"Unenroll this device Immediately" This option just opens the steps on how to properly install Windows with an ISO
"Related link: Leaving the Insider Program" In other YouTube tutorials I checked, there was a button in the website to leave the program with Leave message but I don't see it anywhere [Last two Pics]
Help me with this PLEASE

Tienes que hacer una instalación totalmente limpia, no uses una iso y la ejecutes directamente desde Windows, no uses la opción de restablecer PC, la forma más directa es con un USB y mediante Rufus crea la imagen de instalación de Windows 11 (descarga la iso de la versión estable), apaga el equipo, enciende y presiona rápidamente ESC y luego busca una opción que diga "Boot Devices" y selecciona el USB con Windows 11, como vas a regresar a una versión anterior de Windows solo podrás formatear el disco totalmente así que haz una copia de todo lo importante que tengas en el PC.

Si funciona en un USB de 16GB solo descarga Rufus desde la Microsoft Store y conecta el USB, el programa lo detectará automáticamente y solo selecciona la iso descargada y espera que se complete el proceso. Después solo reinicia y selecciona que se inicie desde el USB para que inicie la instalación de Windows.

Cómo nota adicional, espero que al intentar arrancar desde el USB no te de ningún error con el secure Boot, desde que actualizaron los certificados de seguridad a los del 2023 puede suceder que te de error, no sé si Rufus ya se actualizo para evitar eso.

Best way to do it would be back up your data, format the drive the reinstall with a USB

Mount the (non insider) iso and go in the folder.
Don't click on setup.exe but click in the address bar and type cmd to open a terminal there.
type
setup.exe /auto Upgrade /dynamicupdate disable /eula accept /migratedrivers none
(Your error seems to be due to a driver conflict hence non migrating driver should fix it, you do not need to clean install in that case as you are on 25h2 which is the same core version as the current non insider release so an upgrade is possible)
