I have used windows 11 and as much as i tried getting used to it i could'nt. Now i want to roll back and i saw that my 10 day period has ended. I read on a forum that I'll have to do a clean install of windows 10 but i'm worried that'll erase my license key.

    When a Windows 10 or 11 computer is updated its licensing data is stored on Microsoft servers.

    Once licensing data is stored on Microsoft servers it enables disk drive replacements or clean installs.

    Windows iso are free.

    If there are any activation problems then run the activation troubleshooter.
