Hi, I wish to have instructions to downgrade my laptop currently on windows 11 to windows 10, as there is audio issue after upgrade to windows 10, and the manufacturer does not support windows 11.

Thanks

    Yes, a bootable Windows 10 Media Creation Tool (MCT) (Windows 10 iso) can be created on any Windows computer.

    Boot to the flash drive > manually delete all partitions to create an unallocated disk drive > clean install Windows 10

    There is a default 10 day go back period before Windows.old is automatically deleted.

    This command can be used to see if there is time remaining before the automatic deletion:

    Open administrative command prompt and copy and paste:

    DISM /Online /Get-OSUninstallWindow

    Post a share link.

    Error 1168 = Absent Windows.old

    If Windows.old was automatically deleted then to return from Windows 11 to Windows 10 possible options are:

    a) manually backup files to another disk drive or the cloud > clean install Windows 10 > reinstall drivers and applications > restore important files from the disk drive or the cloud

    b) have Windows 11 backup files to Windows.old > save Windows.old to another disk drive or the cloud > clean install Windows 10 > reinstall drivers and applications > restore important files from Windows.old
