DevinZhang I recently downgraded Windows 11 to 10 on new laptop as Windows 11 consumes much more resource than Windows 10. In addition, I don't like the design as well. In fact, I am more conformtable with the legacy style of Windows 10.
- To downgrade Windows 11 to 10 on a new laptop:
- Back up all important data to an external drive.
- Make a bootable Windows 10 install USB from ISO file.

This is a quite safe way to downgrade Windows 11 to Windows 10 on a new laptop.
