After asking questions, after upgrading Windows10, if you don't like it, you can repent and choose to downgrade?

The answer given by Microsoft is yes, Microsoft will give users a 30-day grace period. Once the user decides to abandon Windows 10, they can revert to the previous Windows version.

In the Windows Insider program, Microsoft provides the "rollback" feature through the Windows 10 Technology Preview.

In the recently launched Build 10240, the operating system clearly stated that users can select “downgrade" in one month. This version is widely considered to be the final version available to PC vendors.

In the previous technology preview, users clicked on the new start menu, navigated to the "Settings" screen, select "Update & Security", and then click on the left. “Recovery” in the navigation panel, you can see the “downgrade” option, including “Reset this PC”, “Restore the previous version of Windows”, and “Restore the previous version” and “Advanced Startup” ; (Advanced startup).

If it is more than 30 days, users still have the opportunity to downgrade, which may be achieved through other system recovery methods.

Windows 10 will be available worldwide on July 29th. This operating system includes many new features, including Cortana virtual assistant, a new start menu experience, a new Edge browser, multi-tasking virtual desktop and snap-in capabilities, optimized for hybrids and variants, and a new desktop background. .

Microsoft will offer Windows 10 in batches, and the company promises that those participating in the beta program will receive the new operating system in the first place.

Before media said that Microsoft Windows 10 will only be free to update for two to four years, after that will provide system updates and support. However, this news proved wrong. Microsoft's latest document shows that the Windows 10 system will receive a free ten-year update and support.

On October 13, the extended support service (continuing to release security patches) ended on October 14, 2025 for a total of ten years.
