I have had the insider preview for a long while and now I am sick of it. Can you guys give me some advice about how to save everything when I install the stable version. I am looking for tips and tricks for to have as little over all change as possible.

F.Y.I. My primary drive is all my data is 137GB and I have a secondary hard drive for backup with 2.54TB free

If you buy a valid license key, you should be able to just apply that license to your existing install, and be done with the Insider program.
No reinstall or anything needed.

Key word...'should'.
If you're on a current Production level build, you shouldn't lose anything.

As always, backups are needed, just in case.

The thing is that the version of windows 10 I have is not out yet and who knows when it will come out

Then, time to wipe and reinstall.

Save all of your personal docs, etc to a different drive.
Wipe and reinstall on your current C drive.

I guess I will just back it all up and copy/paste. I just wish there a way to protect my data more.
