    So I'm in a bit of a conundrum, i already have a separate Windows 11 VM on my Apple Silicon mac, as that first was Windows 10 insiders preview two, but it updated itself to Windows 11, hence why i remade a new Windows 10 ARM VM, but now that to wants to force through an upgrade to an Win 11 Insiders built, and refuses to give me the option to go to Win 10 22H2 update. Surely that must exist in ARM form, no? Even if it's also part of a previous insiders release. But i'm not getting it. I've already unenrolled this Win 10 ARM vm for insiders, so apparently after a reboot just know, it has stopped offering the Win 11 Insiders version in Windows Update, but still complains that my current Win 10 build is expired... any fixes are welcome...

    What i have tried is the win 10 setup exe i've found on Microsofts site after a long while researching ways to get to Win10 22H2 update, but even that won't let me install:

    I'm a bit sad that microsoft makes it this difficult, so any one who can help me would be appreciated...

    It does exist for ARM, but won't run on M-series Macs. The official Windows 10 releases (including 22H2) have a build number beginning with 19. The first build to work with M-series Macs was Insider Preview build 20231 (Dev Channel), I think. Insider Previews for Windows 10 in the Dev Channel were last updated in May 2021 and are expired. There are still Insider Previews for Win 10 in the Release Preview Channel, but those are also 19xxx builds.
