Hi
@taranagnew-8070
I'm afraid you can not switch to beta channel if you are already in dev. Unfortunately, you have to roll back to win10 21H1 and then select beta channel. It is said to release either in July or in August.
Besides, the beta version is relatively more stable than dev version like public beta versus close beta.

The most secure choice is to back up the Windows.old folder right now, it will be deleted in 2 weeks. and after that you can't roll back to win10 21H1
Once you save the windows.old elsewhere, you can wait the beta release, if beta releases, however the switch to beta option is still in grey, you still can roll back to win10.
During which you can still use win11.
In all, I suggest you roll back to win10.

Here are the links for you reference, many users asked questions related to yours before.
this is official docx that tell you can't directly switch.

Hi
@taranagnew-8070
So far we can use this tool in below link, Microsoft also has one but currently it is being maintained,
https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/
Note: Since the websites are not hosted by Microsoft, the links may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

You can also use WinPE to install win11, bypassing the hardware requirement although we don't suggest.

Hope this can help you
