Downgrade Windows Version

Question

Hello, I am running Windows version 20H2 (19042) and I want to downgrade to Windows version 18638 or 19H2. However, I cannot go to Settings > Recovery > Go Back to the Previous Version because it has been more than 10 days since the last update. Can someone help me downgrade?

I need to downgrade because my bluetooth adapter works on version 19H2 but not 20H2 (trust me on this, I tested it)

Thanks

Dang, I really don't want to reinstall everything. Is there a place I can post Windows bugs and just wait until Microsoft pushes an update to fix the issue?

Answer 3

Hello Toidi357,

Performing a Clean Installation on the drive on which Windows is usually installed (Drive C:) will not keep all your personal files and applications. You need to download and install again your programs after the reinstallation. The other drives will not be affected. Just make sure to take note the current total size and free space of your C Drive and other drives. You will need those information to avoid deleting the other drives during Windows Setup. You will need to delete only the Drive Partition same total size and free space of your C drive.

Important: Back up first your personal data and files to an external hard drive, USB thumb drive, or cloud location (such as OneDrive).

Thank you, but when I reinstall Windows, I can keep all my personal files and applications on  the C:\ Drive right? The other drives will not get affected right?
