Windows 10 is the most popular operating system in the world, and it’s set to stay that way. But there are a few things that you can do to downgrade your computer to Windows 10 if you feel like you need to. First, make sure that your computer is up-to-date with the latest security patches. Windows 10 has a lot of new features and improvements, so it’s important to be up-to-date on all of them. Second, make sure that your computer is running at least Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.2 before you downgrade to Windows 10. These older versions of Windows have some features that are not available in Windows 10, so they may not be as reliable as newer versions. Finally, be sure to back up your files before you downgrade! This will help you if something goes wrong and your computer gets lost or damaged while downgrading to Windows 10.


You can try Windows 11 right now if you sign up for the Insiders program, but Windows 11’s public release won’t be ready for everyone until late 2021 or early 2022. If you’re hesitant to switch, the good news is you won’t be committed to Windows 11 after you upgrade.

Essentially, Microsoft is giving users a grace period. Install Windows 11, try it out for over a week, and then decide if you want to go back to Windows 10. If those 10 days pass and you decide you want to go back to Windows 10, you’ll have to back up your data, wipe your computer’s hard drive, reinstall Windows 10, and transfer your files back to your PC.
