Downgrade Windows 11 to 10 Error
Hello everyone,
I can't seem to backtrack from Windows 11 to Windows 10.
I have the windows.old folder but nothing works.
Could you please help me.
Hey! If you still have the windows.old folder and it's been less than 10 days since upgrading, go to:
Settings > System > Recovery > Go back
If the "Go back" option is greyed out, the rollback period has expired, or system files were altered. In that case, you’ll need to clean install Windows 10 using a bootable USB. Backup your data first!

Hello DravenPierce.
The message states that the files needed to roll back to a previous version of Windows have been deleted from this PC. If more than 10 days have passed since the day you've upgraded to Windows 11, you have to backup your data and perform a clean Windows 10 installation.
Bye.

Thank you, your solution worked for me!
