I need windows for work reasons. I have mint on my home machines. I just don’t want 11. Is there any tool out there to force a downgrade? or will I have to do a fresh install? Trying to avoid that since work software.

    True what people are saying about no ability to roll back, but if you want to install windows 10 to the device, you used to be able to buy 1 time activation keys for stupid cheap (under $10). Then you just have to flash a USB with the windows 10 installer ISO and use the key when you get to that point.

    The downside of a one time activation is that if you ever brick the OS or some such, you have to buy another key and can’t reuse the original you purchased.
