Windows 11 users can downgrade to the previous operating system within ten days

Microsoft gives users 10 days to downgrade from Windows 11

Microsoft began rolling out its Windows 11 upgrade to compatible computers last month, and those unhappy with the changes will have ten days from installation to revert to Windows 10.

Those who decide to revert will be forced to move to Windows 11 by 2025 when Microsoft drops support for Windows 10.

 

[G.A.S]

Microsoft has introduced significant changes to the minimum requirements of its desktop operating system with Windows 11, effectively dropping support for processors launched after 2017.

only 10 days, wasn't win 7 to win 10 allowed 30 days?
also 2025, why MS, aren't you greedy enough?

Win XP lasted how long?
Win 7 lasted how long?

You can install Windows 11 on any PC. There are a number of videos on Yutube to confirm my statement.

Looks similar to the system they use at the local co-op here....

Never tried WIN11 - hardware not supported. Hardware probably will still not be supported in 2025 - SHRUG

You're not missing much. I upgraded to Win11 on my Dell XPS. UI was twitchy and laggy... After a day I couldn't take it anymore and I'm back on Win10 - and I'll park here till 2025.

I get tempted every once in awhile to take my Lenovo G50 80, back to WIN 8.1

Microsoft promised that if you decide to go back to Windows 10, all your files and information will automatically be migrated.

From Microsoft's stash of everyone's data?

If the option to roll back is not available, your only option would be to reinstall Windows 10 — in which case all your files and installed applications will be deleted.

Citation required there (in the form of a Homer Simpson meme).

I upgraded the other day UI is fine, my wives HP upgraded as well and it's fine.
Just gotta get used to it now vs Windows 10, it only happened after I did a firmware flash though.

You don't have to pay for it. So what you on about.

The answers to both your last questions seem to be about 10 to 12 years, same as Windows 10 thus... so what's you beef?

I downgraded after more than ten days and it worked. However Win 10 is suddenly much slower. Not sure how to fix it

Tried Win11. Drivers for my printer and sound were a problem so downgraded.
