Is It Possible to Install Windows 10 on a New PC That Comes with Windows 11?

I'm planning to buy a new PC soon, but I'm not a big fan of Windows 11's design and changes. I'd prefer to install Windows 10 instead. However, I understand that support for Windows 10 will be ending soon. If installing it is not a safe or viable option, I'd like to know if there are any tools or settings that can make Windows 11's UI—especially the taskbar and general interface—look more like Windows 10. Thank you.

    Most computers running Windows 11 can run Windows 10 as licensing information is stored on Microsoft servers during initial activation.

    A large number of computer users moved from Windows 11 to Windows 10 during its first year.

    Make free or pay backup images of the Windows 11 installation > save to another disk drive or the cloud

    (Acronis, Aoemi, EaseUS, Hasleo, Macrium, Paragon, etc.)

    Clean install Windows 10.

    Download Windows 10 ISO File | Tutorials

    Download Windows 10

    At any time the Window 11 image can be restored.

    Good day, thanks for your question. Installing Windows 10 on a newly purchased PC with Windows 11 might not be feasible as it will depend if the manufacturer will allow it in which you will need to check with their support. With regards to a tool that you can use, you can check out Winaero Tweaker in which it can give a Windows 10 feel and you can refer to the links below as well.
