Windows 10 Insider Preview activation error

I've been a member of the Insider preview program for some time, was running build 16199, but had to rebuild laptop so downloaded latest version from insider program site which is 16193.

Rebuilt OS successfully, signed in with the same MSA account I've always used, went to try and "join" windows insider program, after clicking Get Started, dialog box site there for a minute or so then errors with

Something went wrong and the error code 0x80072EE2 as shown below

I had renamed the laptop back to the same name it had been before I rebuilt it, but have changed it's machine name in case this was causing the issue, but it's made no difference sadly.

Any ideas where I can go from here, or do I need to re-install again and see if it works after that.

Cheers

Mike

Answer
Fixed this issue by re-installing with the Creators Build of Windows 10, I was then able to re-register the device in the Windows Insider program
