4.) Is Windows 11 a flop?



It probably won't get as much recognition as Windows 10, we know XP support ended in 2014 and Win 10 came in 2015, so many went straight to Windows 10. So there was a large indirect forced conversion and a lot of dissatisfied Windows 8 and 8.1 users!

So if Windows 11 is a flop, it's not because of Windows 11 itself, Vista wasn't a bad system either, but Windows XP was better and above all sufficient! And if it had continued to be supported, who knows!

5.) Why should I switch from Windows 11 back to Windows 10, what do I have to consider?

There are several reasons why you might be switching back from Windows 11 to Windows 10. Here are some of the most common reasons:

- People are not satisfied with the new features and changes in Windows 11. Windows 11 has a new Start menu, taskbar, and some other changes that won't be to everyone's taste. If you're not happy with the new changes, you can go back to Windows 10, where everything will stay the way you know and love it.

- Some are experiencing performance or stability issues with Windows 11. Windows 11 is a new operating system and you may still experience some performance or stability issues. If you're having problems with your computer after upgrading to Windows 11, you can go back to Windows 10, where things are usually more stable.

- Or a specific driver or software that is not compatible with Windows 11. If you are using a particular driver or software that is not compatible with Windows 11, you can revert to Windows 10, where the software will likely work.


Switching from Windows 11 back to Windows 10 may be necessary if you have switched to Windows 11 and find that there are issues that significantly affect your use of the operating system, or if you prefer Windows 10 for other reasons. Here are some things to consider:


Other important reasons:

Software and driver compatibility: Check whether all your applications and hardware drivers are compatible with Windows 10. It is possible that some older software or hardware drivers may not work smoothly on Windows 11.

Security Considerations: Note that Microsoft typically takes longer to provide security updates and support for new operating systems. When you return to Windows 10, you should ensure that your system is well protected by installing the latest security updates and patches.

Data backup: Back up all important data before changing operating systems. Make sure you have a recent backup of your files to avoid data loss.


The process of returning Windows 11 to Windows 10 takes time and patience. You will need to reinstall your operating system and restore your data and applications.

►►  Update Windows 10 to Windows 10 as a repair option!

It's important to note that after upgrading to Windows 11, Microsoft typically allows access to the previous operating system (e.g. Windows 10) for a limited time. Check if this option is still available if you want to go back to Windows 10. Also note that Microsoft may roll out new updates and improvements to Windows 11 over time that may resolve some of the initial issues. It is worth considering these aspects carefully before making a final decision.
