Her program Microsoft Windows Insider allows friends of the company to test upcoming functions of Windows 10 before they are released to consumers.
To join the program you need a Microsoft account and of course a system with Windows 10. Unfortunately, if you do not have a Microsoft account you can not participate in the Windows Insider program.
Until today, as an independent developer developed a script called 'Offline Insider Enroll'. This script allows Windows 10 PCs to join the Insider program without a Microsoft account.
According to the release notes on Github, the developer states that the script exploits the “TestFlags” registry value to enrollment of a user in the program:
If this value is set to “0x20”, the online access in Windows Insider services disabled. So we can have the Windows Insider program, and because Windows Update doesn't check if the machine is actually enrolled in the program, it will give you the Insiders updates.
The script installation process is quite easy and is performed entirely in the Command Prompt as described below.
Let's see how it works:
Download the script "Offline Insider Enroll" from GitHub and save it anywhere on your system.
Export the file to view OfflineInsiderEnroll.cmd.
To run the script, right-click on the file and select 'Run as administrator'.
You will be asked to select the Ring you want to connect to. More information about the various rings you can find here.
After selecting the ring you are interested in, you will be prompted to restart your computer.
After the system restarts open the control panel of the proletterof Windows Insider in Settings and you will see that you have been added to the selected ring.
To stop running Windows Insider, you can run the script again, but this time select X and then restart your computer.
