How Can I Downgrade iOS 18 to iOS 17 on a Windows PC?

There’s always a risk of losing your data when you downgrade iOS 18 to 17. Even though you're backing up your phone, things can go sideways. Imagine backing up your pics and videos only to find the backup didn’t work. You might find that some of your apps that worked fine on iOS 18 don’t play nice with iOS 17. This can lead to crashes or weird behaviors that can be super annoying, especially if you rely on those apps.

New iOS versions include security patches that older versions don’t. By downgrading, you're potentially exposing your phone to security risks. You know, who really wants to deal with hackers or malware? Not me! If you ever need help from Apple Support, they might not be too keen on assisting someone who has altered their device's software. So if you run into issues, you may be on your own.
