Windows 10: Revert to earlier version

I did a clean install of 20h2 with a Win 10 flash dirve that I purchased. After numerous issues black screen, blue screen, freezes I figured out that the new Win 10 20H2 does not like my EVGA nVidia GTX 1060 6Gb graphics card. It actually hates it. If I install the card, the pc usually freezes at the windows logo screen. On the rare occasion that it did boot up the windows update would fail and various other issues occurred. This system was running great with the previous 1903 to 1909 versions. So, where can I get a 1903 or 1909 version of the creation media? And will my current 20H2 license key work with that? Before someone suggests a graphics card upgrade, I don't have that kind of money. Thank you for your help.

:)

 

Reverting to an earlier version?

Hi CL. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP here to help you.

You can Clean Install Windows 10 earlier versions from the media available here:

TechBench by WZT (v4.1.1)

Burn to DVD using WIndows Image Burner or create bootable flash using one of the options here:

Follow the illustrated steps here for doing the best possible Clean Install which should get you past all difficulties as it has hundreds of thousands of others who have followed the steps in this link and never come back to report another problem:

If you want the in-place Upgrade install you'd need to roll back in Recovery Settings or Repair Mode, then use the earlier version media to Upgrade, install the Hide Updates tool to Check for UPdates and hide the newer Version Update before it installs:

Reverting to an earlier version?

Hello,

I just (last night) "upgraded" win 7 64bit to win 10.

Seeing that the 1903 version is already out, it is what it loaded. Problem is, it is already causing conflicts with some programs. I need to be on the 1803/09 version.

If i try to revert to previous versions, it only wants to return me to windows 7 (for the next 9 days?). So i searched and found the microsoft library and attempted to download the version i needed. It wont allow me to install it, says it is not needed.

How can i, or can i even go back to that version on a new install?
