> 10 days is the max time to revert back to Windows 10

What, why?!

Yes, after upgrading to windows 11, you get a 10 day period during which you can revert back to windows 10. After that it greys out automatically. I was forced to do a fresh install because of how laggy windows 11 was.

What's the purpose of this?

Means it's TECHNICALLY possible, and Microsoft actively takes away the option after 10 days?

Do people not hate this?

On macos the only way to revert is through full machine backups. That at least lets me think the upgrade is irreversible without backups, and then I am fine with it. :)
