Microsoft has rolled out Windows 11 in stages since early October, and millions of people are now using the new operating system. However, what if you need to downgrade to Windows 10, is it easy? Well, it’s surprisingly easy to do, but in classic Microsoft fashion, the company does its best to make it harder.
There are many reasons why a user might want to downgrade to Windows 10. Maybe the platform is buggy, your PC performance is slow, the peripherals are not working, or the platform is not working with the your organization’s software. Whatever the reason, Microsoft has a path back to Windows 10.
While this is an easy path to walk, Microsoft throws a few obstacles in the way. Specifically, the company is offering users a race against time to get back to Windows 10.

So, let’s look at the path back to the now legacy platform. Users can go to the Start menu and then follow the path System > Recovery > Back. Tell Microsoft why you are abandoning Windows 11 and waiting for your computer to restart. When it comes back on, Windows 10 greets you.
Limited time
If you run away to do it now and find the options aren’t there, blame Microsoft, not me. It seems that the company gives users 10 days after installing Windows 11 to revert to Windows 10, so if you change your mind after that time, you won’t find the easy path back to the old OS. .
So Microsoft is making it easy to roll back to Win10, but it’s a painfully short window. It’s also completely unnecessary for Microsoft to deliberately complicate things for no reason.
Of course, Microsoft isn’t preventing users from reverting to Windows 10. It’s always possible to do a clean install from scratch.
