If you are a customer of a direct OEM, please contact your OEM for more information about downgrade rights. However, I suggest to activate the Windows license in Windows 11 before doing the downgrade.Note: the information on this page is intended for system builders and their customers. The text also seems to say that the digital entitlement of the computer from Windows 11 will also work for Windows 10, so the activation will be automatic after the installation. The two Windows versions seem compatible as regarding drivers, so Windows 11 drivers should install well on Windows 10 (but there is no guarantee).
I suggest saving any device drivers specific to the computer, or at least verify that the manufacturer supplies these drivers.
The text seems to say that Windows 10 will require a clean install on top of Windows 11. Downgrade rights are also available through Microsoft Volume Licensing (check your agreement for more details). You will need to reimage or clean install a Windows 11 device to downgrade it to Windows 10.

Third, but probably not the last reason, is that 90% of our client base is AD-based (domain) so it's a simple matter of keeping everything consistent for the clients.Īs others have mentioned, Windows 11 (which we do run internally), is fraught with issues. By loading a Windows 10 image which we have precreated for large clients we immediately bypass all the preloaded crap on the computers and have a consistent starting point.
That's very important for us because as an MSP we have to install a local administrator account first that provides us a recovery mechanism for the system. There are some hacks out there but hardly worth it. The first and foremost is that in Windows 11 you are unable to set up the system out of the box using a local account. We have yet to deliver a single Windows 11 OEM system to a client for a couple of very simple reasons.
