Downgrade Windows 11 to 10 without Losing Data & Programs
0Want to switch back to Windows 10 from Windows 11 without losing your files or installed programs? This video will guide you through the full process of downgrading from Windows 11 to Windows 10 safely and efficiently. Whether you've encountered compatibility issues or simply prefer the older interface, this step-by-step tutorial shows you how to revert without data loss, as long as you meet Microsoft's rollback conditions.
Microsoft allows a 10-day window after upgrading to Windows 11 in which you can revert to Windows 10 without needing to reinstall everything manually. The key requirement is that the "Windows.old" folder remains intact on your system drive, which contains all the files necessary to return to your previous version. The video begins by showing you how to navigate to the rollback settings through the Windows 11 Settings menu.
You’ll see how to click on the "Go back" option under the Windows Update section, choose a reason for downgrading, and bypass Microsoft's prompt to try and fix issues with updates. The rollback process includes several confirmation screens, but the video walks through each one clearly to avoid confusion. Once confirmed, your PC will automatically restart and begin restoring Windows 10 using the original system files.
For users outside the 10-day rollback window, the video also explains how to prepare a fallback solution by creating a Windows 10 system backup. It recommends using a tool like **iSumsoft Cloner**, which lets you create a full system image or a portable recovery disk. This ensures that even if the rollback option is no longer available, you can still restore Windows 10 with minimal effort.
If you're considering downgrading or want to prepare ahead of time, this tutorial ensures you won’t lose your apps or files along the way.
