Stuck in build 14905 slow ring. Expiration soon

Oh, I thought there should be a way to avoid the clean install!
I was about to ask you to give me the link to the tutorial or more precise directions at least, but then I noticed that there is a tutorial index, that's cool
Thanks a lot for the idea!

OP is on 14905, so 14393 will not work will it? He would have to clean install?

What I usually do in this situation is install 14393 in a VM unactivated, join Insider, wait till it upgrades to latest version, extract the install.esd file and convert it to an iso using the tutorial in this forum (letter E). Then you can use iso to upgrade to latest Insider version.

It worked!

I'm replying so late because I had to do this 2 times (the first time I accidentally installed the Home version on the VM and I originally had Pro... ). But in the end it worked out.

Thanks a lot for your help

I also set the slow ring and have no upgrade option, stuck in expired status. I was in the fast ring before, but changed it a while back, either because of an issue with a build, or I had some other problem, and forgot about it. That Microsoft would have the oversight to forget about the slow ring is rather irritating.

Edit: its possible I could have changed after 14905 was installed, though I could swear it was before the anniversary update. Still, it would be nice if some kind of check was put in for anyone switching to the slow ring from the fast ring that this might happen, or at least warn before it starts rebooting every few hours to take some sort of action.

Read my replies in this thread how to solve issue which OP followed and solved issue.
