Two Ways to Downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10

Microsoft has released the first Windows 11 preview build to Windows Insiders, and many have downloaded it. With users now installing the Windows 11 beta, there's a chance that some bugs may arise, and they might want to rollback to a more stable version of Windows 10.

Microsoft has thought of that. For those who upgrade to Windows 11, there's a feature called Go back to the previous version of Windows. With this, you can return to Windows 10. But note that you have only ten days to roll back to Windows 10, as Microsoft only provides a ten-day rollback period.

First, we'll tell you what will happen if you go back to Windows 10. You won't lose your data, but programs that you downloaded and installed on the desktop will be removed. If you don't want to lose these apps, back them up beforehand. Now, you can follow the step-by-step guide to go back to Windows 10.

Step 1: Right-click the Windows icon, select “Settings,” then go to “Update & Security” > “Recovery.”

Rolling Back from Windows 11 to Windows 10 Using Todo Backup

If you want to roll back to Windows 10 but have passed the 10-day limit, you're generally out of luck and will have to accept that you're stuck with Windows 11.

Is there a way to bypass this limitation? The answer is yes! You can use a Todo Backup tool, but only if you create a system backup before upgrading to Windows 11. If you're lucky enough to read this article before upgrading to Windows 11, you can bypass the Windows rollback limitation and restore your system to Windows 10 anytime you want.

If you're ready, download Todo Backup now and follow the guide to create a system image with it.

Step 1: Launch the Todo Backup tool on your computer and click “Create Backup” from the main screen, then hit the big question-mark button to “Select backup content.”

Step 2. To back up the Windows OS, click on "OS" to start the backup task.

Step 3. Your Windows operating system, along with all system-related files and partitions, should be selected automatically, so you shouldn't need to make any manual selections here. Next, you'll need to click on the illustrated area to choose where to save your System Image backup.

Step 4. The backup location can be another local disk on your computer, an external hard drive, a network, cloud, or NAS. Ideally, system backup files should be saved to an external physical drive or the cloud.

Step 5: If interested, click on the Options button to customize settings like enabling daily, weekly, monthly or event-based automatic backup schedule, and differential and incremental backups. Hit "Backup Now" and the Windows system backup process will start. The completed task will be displayed as a card on the left side.

After the backup is complete, you can find the system backup file and image through links in the interface.

If you need to downgrade Windows, boot into the Todo Backup tool again. Choose “Restore” to restore your system backup. This will downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10.
