If you want to use Visual Studio to build production-ready applications and projects and accept fewer feature updates, you can choose to use the RC version. After the official version is released, the RC version will be updated to the GA version.
If you want to try the latest features of Visual Studio 2022, you should use Preview 5 version. When released, the Preview 5 version will be updated to Visual Studio 2022 17.1 Preview 1 and will include the latest features the team is developing.
If you have an enterprise or professional license and have been using that version, you can simply update to the preview 5 or RC version, and then log in with a subscription user account. If you are eligible to use the Community Edition, then you can also update to Preview 5 or the RC version. If you do not have a license or cannot use the Community Edition, then there is a trial version for you to try Visual Studio 2022.
