Once a policy has been set, restart the device to activate the policy. Then, to confirm that your policies have been set correctly, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update on one of the targeted devices and select View configured update policies.

You can also check this key in the Registry Editor on the device:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate Devices set to receive an Insider Preview build show:

BranchReadinessLevel = 2 (Dev Channel), 4 (Beta Channel) or 8 (Release Preview Channel)

ManagePreviewBuilds = 1

We check HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\PreviewBuilds\ but not BranchReadiness

Not all insiders have keys at all, this is moot
