How do I force a downgrade from 24H2 after the ten days

Question

Title says it all.

My HP Reverb is a paper weight thanks to the "upgrade". I'd like to forcefully downgrade to the W11 version where it was still useful.

Answer 1

Hello,

Once it's been more than ten days, system deletes the old Windows installation files to free up space, which means you can no longer use the built-in rollback feature. In this case, you can only back up your data and perform a clean install.

This involves downloading an ISO file of the old version from Microsoft's website and creating bootable media (USB drive or DVD).

Backup ALL your data before attempting.

To force a downgrade from Windows 24H2 after the 10-day rollback period has expired, you'll need to perform a clean installation of a previous Windows version (like Windows 11 23H2) as the rollback files are automatically deleted after the rollback window.
