    Anyone here downgraded to Windows 10 after being on 11 for more than a year?


    The last Windows 11 "update" won't allow me to print to my Epson ET-3710 printer anymore. I DID try to reinstall the printer drivers - didn't work; error message was "unable to connect." Ran the Windows 11 printer troubleshooter and got the same error. My husband re-started our Starlink Wi-Fi router with no success. The printer shows that it's connected; the IP address is not in conflict with other devices connected to our Wi-Fi; the problem is with the Windows 11 OS and started with that darned update. Oh - and I also turned off, unplugged and re-started both the printer and my PC. I

    downgrade win 11 to win 10

    I just reran the Media Creation Tool that I just downloaded a few minutes ago. It took less than three minutes to create the ISO file on my medium powered computer with NVMe SSD and 500 Mbps internet connection. Maybe try restarting your computer and downloading a fresh Media Creation Tool? Make sure to note where the ISO file is stored at the last step:

    Windows 11 to 10 downgrade, digital license

    Hello!

    I've tried looking an answer through the forums and microsoft pages but my question still stands.

    Two years ago I bought a prebuilt PC with windows 10 installed. Then I got an automatic upgrade to windows 11 which I need to downgrade back to 10 due to compatibility issues with VR software (more than 2 months have passed). My current windows 11 version is "activated with a digital license" but I haven't connected it with my microsoft account yet.

    What steps should I follow to secure a windows activation after a clean windows 10 installation?

    1. I know that I need to create an installation media for windows. Do I choose "upgrade computer now" or "create an installation media to use on another computer"?
    2. Do I connect my windows 11 current digital license to my microsoft account now or wait until after I install windows 10 again?
    Thanks in advance!

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
