    Hello folks! Happy Easter.

    My buddy has recently been force-upgraded to Windows 11, and absolutely does not like it.

    Said buddy has said that there is an option to downgrade back to Windows 10, but you can only do it up to 2 weeks after the upgrade. It's been about 2 months and he's just discovered this feature.

    Is there any way to get Windows 11 to ignore this time limit, or to reset the upgrade/install date, so he can use this utility to get back on 10? I've searched on the forums here but haven't found much.

    You could check to see if a restore point was created before the upgrade took place if so then yes you can set the PC back to the windows 10

    Usually, the previous version's files will be physically removed after 10 days or so. Without the files, no way to easily return.
