I need windows for work reasons. I have mint on my home machines. I just don’t want 11. Is there any tool out there to force a downgrade? or will I have to do a fresh install? Trying to avoid that since work software.

    Off topic but in the middle of a PC build. I’ve not used 11 but may need it and planning a dual boot. Is it possible to remove all the spyware and ai junk or will it just repopulate itself?

      You can remove it. There is actually an “IoT Enterprise LTSC” edition that is fresh from the start, though it may not support the very latest hardware so install 11 Pro then use Revo uninstaller’s Windows apps tab to remove the junk.
