    Hello, after trying to downgrade from windows 11 to windows 10 I got an error "we were unable to install windows 10 we have set up your computer the way it was set up before you started the windows 10 installation"Error 0xC1900101 - 0x3001Installation was interrupted in the First_boot phase with an error during the boot operation"That thing happened after I tried using the media creation tool since the built in downgrade said the files needed aren't available and I think the windows.old folder is corrupted.

  2. bsod after downgrading from windows 10 to windows 7


    Hello there, tom.
    I would try these:
    • Get your Windows 7 media device and reinstall Windows
    • Try auto-repair
    • Follow these steps:

    1. Put in your Windows 10 media device, boot into the USB
    2. Select your language and keyboard input, then click next.
    3. Click "Repair this computer"
    4. Go to "Advanced options"
    5. click system restore
    6. Select a restore point before you downgraded to Windows 7.
    Hope I helped!
