My Windows 11 keeps crashing and it's draining way too much memory on my Razer Blade 16 laptop with an RTX 5080. I'm looking for the best way to revert back to Windows 10, especially since I can't handle these ongoing issues anymore. Any tips?

Make sure to update your system’s firmware first. If you still run into crashes, consider troubleshooting steps like running DISM or SFC scans. If all else fails, resetting Windows through settings might help: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/reset-your-pc-0ef73740-b927-549b-b7c9-e6f2b48d275e.
Before going back, check how much RAM you have and what Windows is using. Sometimes the issues are due to a messy upgrade, and a clean install can fix that. Backing up your files and starting fresh may actually save you headaches down the line.
To downgrade, go to Settings > System > Recovery, and select 'Go Back'. Just a heads up, if it’s been more than 10 days since you upgraded, that option disappears and you’ll need to do a fresh install of Windows 10 instead. Here's a link to Microsoft's help page for further details: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/go-back-to-the-previous-version-of-windows-4fdf8a9e-ddc9-4f65-971f-47e7debab6e1.
If you're still considering downgrading, research why Windows 11 is causing issues. You might want to look into debloating tools or stop unnecessary telemetry. Plus, double-check your chipset drivers are all up to date. Some folks have found these steps can improve performance significantly.
Checking the error messages in the Event Viewer could give you clues as to what’s causing the crashes. Most people find out what's wrong instead of reverting to an unsupported OS. It might help resolve the crashing issues.
