Can I Downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10?

If you decide to go the clean install route, you’ll need to format your hard drive and install Windows 10 fresh. Just make sure you've backed up anything important first!

You can find the steps online pretty easily. If it’s within the first two weeks since your upgrade, just roll back to Windows 10. Otherwise, you’ll have to reinstall it.

While you can downgrade, I really recommend doing a clean install of Windows 10 instead for the best results. It tends to work smoother than trying to revert.

For a clean install, you'll want to use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. Load it onto a flash drive, boot from that, and then delete every partition on your drive before installing Windows 10. Again, backup your data before doing this!

To downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10, go to your PC's settings. Click on 'System', then 'Recovery'. There, you should see an option called 'Go back'. Click that to revert to Windows 10. Just keep in mind that this option is only available if you upgraded within the last 14 days. If it's been longer, you might have to do a clean install, which could mean losing your data unless you've backed it up.
