Here's How To Downgrade To Windows 10 DON'T WANT WINDOWS 11? HERE'S HOW TO DOWNGRADE TO WINDOWS 10 There are many reasons to consider downgrading from Windows 11 to Windows 10. Here's how the process works, limitations, and what to expect. By Mustafa Ashour Published 14 hours ago Share Share Tweet Email 0 Comment After upgrading to Windows 11, some users may not like the changes and might prefer to downgrade to Windows 10 again. It is not only easy to roll back to Windows 10, but safe to do so as well, considering Microsoft has promised to continue supporting Windows 10 until October 14th, 2025. Files and settings will remain after downgrading, and it's possible to upgrade to Windows 11 again when the time feels right. Windows 11 was introduced as a free upgrade for Windows 10 users, and millions have already upgraded to the latest version. Windows 11 brings some interesting new features with it, including the ability to launch Android apps and a reimagined design. Microsoft also redesigned the Microsoft Store, which now offers hundreds of apps and programs that users had to previously download manually.

In spite of the many benefits, there are various reasons why a user might decide to downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10. For example, when encountering issues that prevent the system from working correctly or simply disliking the new interface. However, users can only downgrade within ten days after updating to Windows 11, according to Microsoft. If the update was applied more than 10 days ago, the user will need to make a clean install of Windows 10 and use that instead. DOWNGRADING FROM WINDOWS 11 TO WINDOWS 10 When downgrading from Windows 11 to Windows 10, it is best to back up any recently created files. It is also worth keeping in mind that any software that was installed recently may get deleted. If using a laptop, the user should also make sure it is plugged in to guarantee there is enough power to complete the process. Once ready, navigate to the "Recovery" section of the settings app under "System." Providing the update to Windows 11 was within the last ten days, the user will see a "Go back" option listed under "Recovery options." After clicking on the "Go back" button, Windows will ask the reason for downgrading. The system will also recommend checking for any available Windows 11 updates rather than rolling back to Windows 10. After checking one of the boxes and clicking on "Next", and skipping the 'check for updates' prompt, Windows will issue a reminder that new programs may get deleted and any recently applied settings may revert. After clicking "Next" for these warnings, the user will need to click on the "Go back to Windows 10" option to start the process. Windows will then take some time before booting Windows 10. The decision to use Windows 11 or roll back to Windows 10 is entirely up to the user. While Windows 11 offers plenty of new features, some users may not have the time to get used to a new operating system version or want to deal with any bugs or problems. For them, rolling back to Windows 10 might be the best option.
