    Install windows 8.1 instead of windows 10 on same laptop...


    I have a windows 10 home laptop that originally came with windows 10 home. I have tried using the setup.exe file in the windows 8.1 iso. Not the one in sources. There is a screen that asks me for a product key. I have found my product id by using cmd. how can i use this id to activate and install windows 8.1 and get rid of windows 10.This laptop was upgraded to windows 11. I downgraded by using the same method as above but there was no product key part in it. How can I install and activate windows 8.1 this way???

    :)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .
