People are excited to try and test the first Insider build of Windows 11 that is currently operating on a large number of devices. So if you have installed Windows 11 on your PC that doesn’t meet the requirements you expected, you may be having a less-than-great experience. Plus, it’s an unfinished build. However, it may not be stable enough for you yet and you don’t like it much. So today, we’ll show you How to Downgrade Windows 11 Back to Windows 10 Easily.

After that 10-day period, you will need to back up your data and do a “clean install” to return to Windows 10, according to Lenovo’s support page, which is based on Microsoft’s feedback.
Apart from problems, there might be a variety of reasons why you would wish to downgrade. Maybe you don’t like the new Windows interface, or maybe the apps you typically use don’t operate properly, or maybe you’ve chosen to wait until the stable build is released. Whatever the cause, this tutorial will teach you how to remove Windows 11 and return to Windows 10.
