Get out of Windows insider back to Window 10

I was trying to connect Windows 10 to my iPhone 12. Ran across a post advising me to join Windows Insider. That has installed Microsoft Windows 11 Home Inside Preview. PC Health check previously told me my PC was not compatible with Windows 11. Can I get back to Windows 10?

Hello Larry,

Yes, you can revert back to Windows 10 from Windows 11 Insider Preview. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Click on the Start menu and select Settings.

2. Click on Update & Security.

3. Click on Recovery.

4. Under the "Go back to the previous version of Windows 10" section, click the Get started button.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Please note that this process will remove all the apps and settings that you have installed after upgrading to Windows 11 Insider Preview. It is recommended to backup your important files before proceeding with the downgrade.

Please note, you have 10 days to do the roll back:

Tried that, but after lots of updates ended back in same place.

I thought I had opted out of Insider before I started.

What next?

You are beyond 10 days, so your only option

now is to clean install Windows 10 using:
