The easy solution! How to downgrade Windows 11 and go back to Windows 10

Microsoft has started a months-long process to release Windows 11 to more than a billion devices, but that doesn’t mean Windows 10 won’t be supported. The operating system is not only set to receive a major feature update over the next few weeks, but it will continue to receive cumulative updates until at least 2025.

If you’re not thrilled to be getting on the Windows 11 train, you don’t need to. However, if you want to give it a try and see how things go, Microsoft is officially giving you 10 days to do so.

Microsoft’s new generation of Windows has made several changes that have proven to be controversial among users. From a centered Start menu to an updated taskbar and widgets, adapting to the new operating system can take some time. Users probably would have preferred a 30-day window (which Microsoft came up with with the initial release of Windows 10) because ten days is probably not enough time to adjust to the new operating system.
