If you're participating in the Windows 11 Dev channel beta, you can install the Online Service Experience Packs by checking and installing the 'Online Service Experience Pack – Windows.Settings.Account' update.

According to Microsoft, this update will only make changes in the "Microsoft Account" page inside the Settings app. The Microsoft Account page started appearing on Windows 11 Dev versions from build 22489.

The benefits of Online Service Experience Packs:

Compared to having to update the operating system to install new features, Online Service Experience Packs have the following advantages:

• Can install new feature you like quickly
• You can install each feature, if you don't like it, you can skip it
• Avoid problems when installing new features by updating the operating system

Most likely, the method of installing new features via Online Service Experience Packs will only be available on Windows 11.
