What is the best option to use Windows 11 Insider Preview on a device with Windows 11 NOT Insider, dual boot or virtual machine?

A Dual Boot does need activation. And each copy of Windows is supposed to have it's own license. But, using the same version (not necessarily the same Build), will usually activate, because the activation is tied to the device. You will probably find some people using Insider Dev, Beta, and Public all on the same device (multi-boot) and all activated, with only one license. Using a VM is creating a new (different) device, hence another license for activation is required.

Conclusion = Virtual Machine is recommended :)​
