How to Revert to Windows 10 after install Windows 11 on unsupported PC?

Reverting to Windows 10 after installing Windows 11 on an unsupported PC is possible, but there are some important details to keep in mind:
Time Limit: You have a 10-day window to revert back to Windows 10 using the built-in recovery options. After this period, the option to roll back will no longer be available.
Extending the Time Limit: If you need more time, you can extend the rollback period to up to 60 days using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. Here's how:
Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
Run the following command to check the current rollback period:
DISM /Online /Get-OSUninstallWindow
To extend the rollback period, use this command (replace NDays with the desired number of days, up to 60): DISM /Online /Set-OSUninstallWindow /Value:NDays
For example, to extend it to 60 days:
DISM /Online /Set-OSUninstallWindow /Value:60 ```.
Reverting Process:
Go to Settings > System > Recovery.
Under Recovery options, select Go back.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
If you miss the rollback window, you'll need to perform a clean installation of Windows 10, which involves backing up your data, creating a bootable USB drive with the Windows 10 installation media, and reinstalling the OS.
Good luck
