Rolling back to Windows 10 after I update my system to Windows 11

After you update the system to Windows 11, you will have about ten days to roll back to Windows 10 while keeping your files and data that were migrated during the update.

 
  • This operation will save your personal files, but will delete some of the apps and drivers installed after the update, as well as any changes made to the settings. Restoring the system will not usually result in the loss of your files. However, it is recommended that you back up important files to an external device beforehand, so that your files are protected should anything go wrong.
  • If after 10 days you would like to restore your computer to Windows 10, back up important data, and press and hold (or repeatedly press) F10 during startup. This will restore your computer to its factory settings. Restoring the computer to its factory settings will clear all data in the C drive, including personal files downloaded to Desktop, Downloads, and Documents. Please back up any important data in the C drive before you restore your computer to its factory settings.
  1. Press Win+I to open the Settings window and go to Windows Update > Advanced options.

  2. On the Advanced options screen, select Recovery.

  3. On the Recovery screen, select Go back.

  4. Select the reason why you are going back, click Next, follow the onscreen instructions, and wait until the Windows system has been rolled back.

  5. In the displayed dialog box asking you whether to check for updates, click No, thanks.

  6. After reading the messages, go to Next > Next.

  7. Roll back the system to Windows 10. Wait until the Windows rollback is complete.

If you are rolling back from Windows Insider Program to Windows 10 and don't want to update the system to Windows 11, you will also need to enable Stop getting preview builds in Windows 10. To do this, perform the following:

  1. After the system is rolled back to Windows 10, click the Windows icon and then the Settings icon, go to Update & Security > Windows Insider Program, turn on the switch under Stop getting preview builds, and close the Settings screen.

  2. Click the Windows icon and then the Settings icon again, go to Update & Security > Windows Insider Program, and click Restart now.

  3. After the computer is restarted, click the Windows icon and then the Settings icon again and go to Update & Security > Windows Insider Program. If the screen goes back to the initial interface, it indicates that Windows Insider Program has been disabled on your computer.
