Rollback from Windows 11 to Windows 10 - 2 Methods

Although Windows 11 doesn't officially release, there is a leaked beta version for users to download online. Some users have tried the new Windows 11 for a few days and then, they start to miss the old friend Windows 10. Can users roll back to Windows 10? Yes, in this article, we will show you how.

Microsoft has released the first Windows 11 Insider Preview build for Windows Insiders and a huge number of people have downloaded it. Some Windows insiders have already downloaded and installed Windows 11. Since users now are installing the Windows 11 Beta version, there might be some bugs, and users would want to roll back to the more stable Windows 10.

Microsoft has thought about this issue, too. For users who have newly upgraded to Windows 11, there is a feature called Go back next to the previous version of Windows. With this feature, users could revert back to Windows 10. But you should notice that you only have 10 days to roll back to Windows 10 because Microsoft only keeps this feature for 10 days.
