How to get the Anniversary Update if you're in Insider program

If your computer or phone is enrolled in the Windows Insider Program, and you're running Windows 10 build 14393.x or later, you're already running the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, and you don't need to do anything else.
If you want to stay in the stable version of the operating system, you'll want to opt out of the Insider Program. Here's how:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Click on Update & security.
  3. Click on Windows Insider Program.
  4. Click the Stop Insider Preview builds button.

     Step 1
     Step 2
     Step 3

     Step 4
    Click the Stop Insider Preview builds button if you want to stop getting build as Insider.
     
     Step 5
    Click the Need to stop getting Insider builds completely? Then do as above.

  5. Click the Confirm button.
  6. Click the Restart Now button to complete the process.
Now your device will no longer be enrolled in the Insider program, and you'll be able to keep the same installation intact.
After unenrolling you won't get any more Insider updates until the new version becomes available to everyone on August 2nd. This means that you probably want to stay in the Insider program until the official release to stay fully up to date.
Here's another trick you can use. If you don't want to wait until the Windows 10 Anniversary Update arrives, you can enroll your device to the Windows Insider Program now and configure your settings to get new builds from the Fast ring.
After your device gets updated to the Anniversary Update, make sure to use the steps mentioned above to unenroll your device from the Insider program. Then your device will stay with the Anniversary Update, but it won't get new test builds.
