    Unable to go back to the previous version of Windows 10 after 20H2 update


    Hi,


    Just update my PC yesterday. Having some issues so I tried to go back. But Settings -> Update -> Recovery has the options greyed out. "This option is no longer available because your PC was updated more than 10 days ago".


    What could I do?


    Thanks

    :)

    Windows 10 version 20H2

    Hello Richard,

    I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'll be happy to assist you today. What was your previous version before upgrading to version 20H2?

    If you download version 2004 and install it directly while in 20H2, It will remove everything on your system.

    To avoid that, Please try the method below.

    Press Windows key+I to open Settings > Update and Security

    Select View Update History > Click Uninstall Updates

    Select “Feature update to Windows 10 20H2 via enablement package” right-click it and choose to uninstall.

    Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

    Sincerely



    Independent Advisor

  4. Unable to go back to the previous version of Windows 10 after 20H2 update

    Windows 10 version 20H2

    The computer in question had Windows 7 on it and there was not an option to uninstall the 20H2 update. So I have reverted back to Windows 7. Is there a way to download and install Windows 10 version 2004? The games will work on that version but not the
    20H2 version.

    Thanks
