Super useful information, I was worried if I bought the disk and activation key for windows 10 pro that it wouldn't let me downgrade from a new computer that already had windows 11 and never had 10!
Hey I'm just wondering if anyone knows a fix, when i downgraded a little x appeared by the volume button and I couldn't adjust it so its stuck at mute, I've tried everything but nothing works. Another issue I'm facing is that my trackpad doesnt work anymore, anyone know fixes?
i also not very like windows 11 ,but the new laptop is windows 11 ,i can't just do clean windows 10 on it ,because this is gaming laptop ,all of the preinstalled software driver ,especially the many of the gaming required software driver will be gone ! what should i do if i want to using windows 10 on new gaming laptop with windows 11 os ?! how to do to keep all the preinstalled gaming system required software driver ?!
Yes, I can confirm that it works, if you follow every step shown in this video. I bought a brand new Lenovo IPG 3-15IAH with windows 11 pre-installed. Then downloaded windows 10 from official microsoft website and installed it as shown - everything works an the licence is also there... Thanks for the video, awesome work
Well, makes sense that windows activates itself anyways, i think since Windows 8 all laptops got their keys store on the motherboard and automatically gets loaded when windows installs or something.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I got a new gaming PC in January and have had some issues with Win11, which I am now fed up with so going to try this today and hopefully be up and running with Win10.

Great video, thanks. I just bought a new laptop with Win 11 Pro loaded and ... I hate it! Why did they remove the ability to have the taskbar vertical on the left of the screen? And I don't know why but simple tasks that seemed to be immediate on my old Win 10 Home laptop running a Gen 3 P7 with 16GB now take a frustrating few seconds on the replacement running Ryzen 7 5800HS with 24GB so I intend to make the swap before I load too much under Win 11 but one question ... should I be able to upgrade back to Win 11 Pro if I need to in the future?
Now that is a new question, but I think we can use win 10 untill there is a new windows OS release (like win 12), cause even now win 10 is more than sufficient with timely security updates which will be given by Microsoft even after 2025😊

My question to you is would it be better to downgrade to Windows 11 via the Installer or by Booting from USB? You know, for long term stability. Or are both methods identical in assuring you get Windows 10 smoothly?
Shouldn't make a great deal of difference. Personally I'd normally go for a clean install from USB, but for the sake of demonstration (and convenience for most users) I demonstrated via the installer.
Hello, I discovered that I was able to do this with success using the media creation tool, but I was able to keep all of my files. I’m surprised yours didn’t give you that option.
I have an issue, my monitors aren’t working with my pc anymore after I downloaded windows 10. I’m getting pretty worried about this, can someone please help me?
Hi. Very useful content. But, I'm confused that whether I need to downgrade or not because I have a bit of personal data in my c drive. I'm thinking to take a backup and do the downgrade process, would you recommend it?
Hello mate, great video! I just bought a new pc it came with Windows 11. I need to install Windows 10 for all my work applications they won't run on 11 but I know nothing about computers a complete novice. If you could do a video explaining what to do next and how to get get drivers for gpu and the like would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks for the information I am downgrading pre-installed windows 11 on my HP laptop and wanted to know exactly what to do and if I would have to buy an new activation code
just to be clear, if I get a windows 11 laptop, one that never upgraded, and only ever had windows 11, I can use the windows 10 media tool to downgrade and it will still activate? On an OEM machinr with a digital license and no product key?
buy another disk and install win 10 on it and then take the drive that has win 11 on it and install it as a second drive and then you can access everything and move files over as needed.
Ey I just bought a 5i Pro Gen 6 (didn’t feel like I needed the newer Legion 7 for more $$$ lol) and same I’ll absolutely be replacing Win 11 when it arrives.
I have tried all this using a purchased, legal Win 10 USB stick with activation code. I got into EUFI and changed the boot sequence to read the USB stick first. The Win 11 machine tells me the install failed every time I try. Do I need to wipe Win 11 before I try again?
I have a question. When I download the windows 10 installation media tool, do I pick "upgrade this pc" or do I pick the one with usb/iso option? And if the second one, do I pick USB or ISO? And where do I put them? I don't really know that much about it so it'd be great if you could help me.
I have a question. Should I install through the ISO file or by USB Drive, because when I install through USB, it shows "enter product key". Please tell me the way through which way should I install. I am afraid about windows 10 not being activated.
You should try to install by opening the setup exe on Windows 11, or find a source to get a free key/buy one. Must laptops usually bake the key into the firmware
if i choose that options to keep all the preinstalled application and files ,will this really work ?! because i am buying new gaming pc ,and gaming pc required many gaming system requirements application and driver ! so if i doing this and choose this options ,will this really keep all preinstall application and files ,and also the os activated ?!
@@jailbreakoverlanderhey man, I just got a new ASUS laptop and it’s got bloatware windows 11, would there be any issue if I were to format and fresh install windows 10 pro like driver or bios issues? Thanks
@@UsmanAli-ue9yj You should back up the drivers, and after install, install the drivers if you can, tell me how it goes, you should also use a USB mouse because Windows doesn't pick up the touchpad
Hi just to clear, since my laptop has windows 11 out of the box. all i need to do is to download a windows 10 right and just install it? i dont need a product key for the windows 10 ?
You don't need a USB stick, you can just mount the ISO and run the installer. If you want to create a bootable USB stick it needs to be 8GB at least - the Windows 10 Media Creation tool handles formatting it, etc. It will wipe the contents of the drive.
My laptop's processor is an i7 1250u, so it is pretty slow. I downgraded from windows 11 to windows 10 and that helped the laptop to perform better and faster :)
I got new laptop like 4 months ago and I have win 10 activation key,when I was setting it up i clicked win 11 instalation and I cant activate windows. Thanks mate :D now I can do it
thx for that video ! i tried downgrading with the media tool directly on the new pc and it just exits when its finished downloading ... now i want to try a clean install from a boot drive but wasnt sure about the license stuff , that video shows that it will most likely work !
Can you open the media creation tool and do "Upgrade this PC"? Is that any different or will it work the same? Will it slow my PC down or brick / damage it?
Due to changes in the Knox security policy, Samsung Galaxy Book devices that have upgraded to Windows 11 will no longer be able to downgrade to Windows 10.
My job isn’t compatible with windows 11, will this work on a brand new computer that had windows 11 pre installed and fully downgrade for compatibility?
I have the same problem as you. I bought a new HP laptop with Windows 11 pre-installed. I followed the first part of the video (the media creation tool method), and it turned out fine. It does factory reset your computer, so back up any info you have.
after downgrading from windows 11 to windows 10 as I am facing the problem of products key in windows 11 do you confirm this problem will be solved by downgrading as I need activated windows?
is it required or strongly recommended to reset anything/delete before downgrading to windows 10? what are so things i should do before i downgrade? i really want to but dont want to take any risks.
Does your version of Win 11 need to be activated to downgrade to 10? I have a new laptop that for some reason, didn't have Win 11 (OEM) activated and i'm currently dealing with problems activating it.
That's entirely machine specific - the drivers may be delivered via Windows Update if the manufacturer has issued them for Windows 10, or you may need to install them manually.
@@BrueComputing the lenovo 90VJ does not have windows 10 drivers on website, so you are rolling the dice downgrading it and it actually working (i have yet to try), for example you down grade it and now the network card doesnt work, now you cannot get online to even find drivers manually. lets face it windows does not do a good job telling you what the device is.. generic PCIe device is not helpful. when you see like 3 of them.. what are they? now you have to boot up with a live linux and run lscpi or lsdev to get some idea of what you have, and hopefully your nic card works on this live linux, so you down download the drivers to another USB stick so that you can then reboot into windows and then install the drivers..
Very helpful content, I am having problems with virtual machine, so home version from w11 came in the laptop, I will install W10 pro, I couldn't run vmware on w11 with old w7 VM applications
