How to downgrade from win 11 to 10

Why should i downgrade from windows 11 to 10?

Stronger Virtualization & Kernel Protections – Microsoft is doubling down on security with Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity (HVCI), making it even tougher to modify system behavior or run unsigned code.
Automatic Update Enforcement – Windows 11 24H2 aggressively forces updates, meaning even if you disable updates, it might re-enable them, breaking tools or bypasses over time.
Restricted Driver Support – The update tightens driver signing enforcement, preventing older or custom drivers from working—this kills many low-level workarounds for automation, spoofing, or exploits.
AI & Cloud-Based Detection – Microsoft is integrating more cloud-based security features, making it easier for them to detect unusual behavior, block unsigned software, and even remotely enforce security patches.
