A Useful Tip

Now, Windows 11 builds in the Dev Channel are preparing for Windows 11 23H2 (Sun Valley 3), which should be released in the second half of 2023. They don’t match the builds that are released to the Beta Channel. This means that the builds in the Dev Channel are not as stable as the builds in the Beta Channel. But now the best time to switch from the Dev Channel to the Beta Channel has passed. If you want to use the stable Windows 11 Insider preview builds in the Beta Channel, you need to first clean install Windows 11 and then join the Beta Channel of the Windows Insider Program.
