Windows 10: New laptop with windows 11 pro but want to downgrade to windows 10 (pro i guess). How do I...

Hi, so I had big hassle with Amazon on buying windows 10 laptops but all the sellers lie about the OS on all of them claiming it was 10 but was 11 or 11 pro. I am stuck with a lenovo legion 5 pro that has windows 11 pro after dealing with so many other computers and getting replacements. I was told changing the OS won't hurt the warranty but idk. Personally I want to downgrade it because I been using windows 11 for the past months and i hate it so much. But I have a horrible feeling I will mess up and break my $2000 laptop. Will downgrading break my laptop since it won't be registered or something or will the laptop always read it as windows 11 and just have the look of windows 10. I have no idea what im doing and lenovo and microdoft support are not really helpful so I come looking to reddit for advice on windows 10 and downgrading. Did anyone ever downgrade their gaming laptops from 11 to 10. Also my laptop cpu and gpu are not 12th gen.

How to downgrade Win7 pro to WinXP

I have bought Windows 7 pro edition which is downgradable. The question is how to downgrade ?
After the downgrade what is going to be the s/n of the XP is it going to be the same S/N of the Windows 7 pro that I have downgraded ?
And is it possible to install Windows XP with the Windows 7 pro serial number ?
And if I want to end up with XP downgrade is it the only way ?

 

Downgrade Windows 10 Pro to Home and Transfer Key

I bought a laptop and had Windows 10 Home on it. Later, I got a key for Windows 10 Pro, and upgraded my laptop. I recently got a new desktop, and would like to use that pro key on it rather than my laptop. I tried the downgrade steps in this articlehttps://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/downgrade-from-windows-10-pro-to-home/345f5464-cb7a-44b3-8856-237cbec072c8
but they didn't work, it tried to reinstall Windows 10 Pro. Is there a way to do what I'm wanting to do, or will I just need to buy another copy?

 

windows 10 ESD downgrade to windows 7 pro

Your question is very confusing.

So you have a software download of Windows 10 Pro with no product key.

Is that correct?

Then you say:

1. I dont wanna use windows 10, i need use windwos 7 pro

2. need a purchase license only windows 10 pro

3. how i can activate this license key(windows 10 pro ESD) on my PC with windows 7 pro?

4. I dont wanna use windows 10, i need use windwos 7 pro

If you already have Windows 7 why download Windows 10 Pro if you don't want to use Windows 10 Pro??

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

If by some chance you mean that you bought Windows 10 Pro and you want to downgrade it for free to Windows 7 Pro, you can't.

Windows 10 Pro had to be a preinstalled OEM license.
