Question

How to revert desktop back to originally installed Windows 10

Answer 1

Hi Marsha,

Thanks for your post. Basically, we cannot stress enough that you only have 10 days after installing Windows 11 to downgrade back to Windows 10. After that, you must perform a full reinstallation of Windows 10.

For how to downgrade Windows 11 to Windows 10, please refer toDowngrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10 - Microsoft Community

After 10 days, you need to make clean install. You can use same product key to activate Windows 10.

Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it. Hope this helps.
