I'm one of the people who had Windows 11 download itself without me telling it to do so. Now, it is ready for install. I do not want to install Windows 11 at this point. I want to keep my Windows 10.

I've paused it for 7 days, but this is a temporary solution. Can I delete the Windows 11 download somehow? I'm running Windows 10 on a brand new Dell computer.

    Is it already installed and running on your computer? Apparently, you have 10 days from the date of installing to roll it back to Windows 10.

    What I found is that you can revert back to windows 10 within 10 days of downloading windows 11. If you wait longer than that you can't!!

    I would be right there with you! My husband installed 11 on his surface and seems to like it well enough. so I thought it would be fine on mine. I think it runs slower, so I went back to10, but of course like everyone else it still downloads, and now the lag time between command and action is an issue and I am clueless where to go from here
