    Can I go back to my old Win 10 system on my new Win 11 machine?


    My old Win 10 computer was beginning to act up occasionally so I got a new black Friday special which in Win 11. For various reasons, most importantly that I can’t seem to xfer various apps subscriptions over to the new machine, I’d like to go back to my Win 10. I have a sys image on a portable drive USB but when I go through the steps for loading that I get an error msg that it can’t be found. I know the drive is ok and I’ve enable all usb ports, and in fact another portable usb data disk works fine. So 1 is there a way for me to load this sys image I know it will kill the Win 11, but I

    Upgrade after building new machine to comply with Win 11 system requirements

    I'm running Win 10 but need to build a new machine that can support all Win 11 requirements. If I need to build a new machine, will my Win 11 upgrade still be free?

    Upgrade after building new machine to comply with Win 11 system requirements

    Thanks Carlo but I don't believe you understood my question. My machine running Win 10 does not meet all of the spec requirements to upgrade to Win 11. It makes more sense for me to build an entirely new machine since I'll need a new motherboard, processor, etc. My question is...if I'm building a new machine, will my Win 11 upgrade still be free even though it will be a new install on a new machine? My license for Win 10 is current and active on my existing machine but as I said, I'll need to install Win 11 on a whole new PC.

    Thanks
