Now, it's the time to enroll your mobile phone into one of the rings. You can choose between the Insider Slow and Insider Fast. While you can make the choice between the two rings, Microsoft doesn't usually deliver many builds through the Slow ring, as such you may want to be set your phone to the Insider Fast options.
