How to Access the Pre-release
Unfortunately, to access the latest pre-release, you need to buy the Java edition of the game.
Once this is done, it's fairly easy to get in there. Boot up the Minecraft launcher and find your game.
Go into the installations tab and enable snapshots. Then click on the version of the game with 1.17 on it and download your new file. Click play and you're finally in. Just make sure to have a backup save first.
