Long story short (as possible), I've never used iCloud. I've always backed my iPhones directly to my MacBook. In the process, of Apple Care helping me with MacBook issue my hard drive was fried and I lost EVERYTHING. You couldn't even login to the MacBook at all in any mode to back up externally, migrate to a new computer, or Target files specifically from the old to the new.
***To the point. I'm now on my iPhone 6s running IOS 10 Public Beta 7. Is there a way to get off the Public Beta even though I have NO back up to return to? Is my only option to reset and start over. My reason for asking is forward thinking really. As is when the full release comes out how I install that and remove the Beta?
