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!
