DevinZhang If the 10-day window for downgrading from Windows 11 to Windows 10 has passed, you will need to perform a clean installation of Windows 10. 

 

How to downgrade Windows 11 to 10 after 10 days:

 

Step 1: Visit the official Microsoft Windows 10 Download page here. Click on Download tool now under the "Create Windows 10 installation media" section.

Step 2:  Open the Media Creation Tool you just downloaded. Choose Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC and click Next.

Step 3: Once the PC boots from the USB, the Windows Setup screen will appear. Select your language, time, and keyboard preferences, then click Next. Click Install Now.

 

After installation, Windows will automatically install most drivers, but you may need to download and install some manually from your device manufacturer’s website.
