If you have installed a newer version of Windows 10 but are not happy with the update, you may return to the previous version of the OS that you had prior to the upgrade. In modern versions of Windows 10, the time frame before the files to go back are deleted is not very long. The user only has 10 days to observe and study any incompatibilities or issues with the big update and uninstall it. Thankfully, it is very easy to increase the number of days to go back to the previous build of the OS.
