Windows 11 dev to final when it will be publshed?

Hello,

I signed up for Microsoft's Insider Dev program.
Wanting to test Windows 11 in a virtual machine, I made a bad move and I initiated the installation on my main machine!
I tried to interrupt this installation with a 'hard reset' but too late it continued to continue whatever I do (yes I am responsible ...)!
I must observe that Windows 11 works quite well (yes really well even MSFS 2020!) But having been taken with regret I wanted to switch back to Windows 10 using the settings, system, recovery and rollback function. Nothing happens when I click on it (!).
My question is twofold: could I upgrade to Windows 11 definitively from the development version that is installed? If not, is there any other method to revert to Win10 than given above?

Very sincerely thank you!

Have you tried the recovery option from Settings->System->Recovery?
Try run Windows Update and download and install all updates.

Yes I did but, recovery did not initiated at all and that is my problem!
When I press Recovery => nothing at all is happening.
Thanks

Actually the system performs wery well and I wonder if I should do anything else than using it...
I could stay as it is but, I wonder if I could install the full version when plublished; that is my biggest concern!
Thank ou very much for your comments.

Of course you could install the full version when Windows 11 published. You only need a Windows 11 RTM ISO image, which will be provided by Microsoft on download Windows 11 website, just like current download Windows 10 website.
Besides, if go back to the previous version doesn’t work but you want to go back to Windows 10, you could use media creation tool to download Windows 10 21H1 ISO, in-place degrade to Windows 10.
