Last May, Microsoft announced that Windows 11 was ready for widespread deployment. At the same time, Microsoft has been persuading Windows 10 21H1 users to upgrade to Windows 11 for the version that is coming out of service, and there is even a Windows 11 recommendation option in the Windows Out-of-the-Box Experience (OOBE) screen for Windows 10 22H2.
According to the documentation, Microsoft will not remove the installation media (.ISO) files or the media creation tools planned for all versions of Windows 10, including Home and Professional editions.
Users can also purchase a Windows 11 license and downgrade their copy to a Windows 10 system using an ISO image. Downgrading from Windows 11 to Windows 10 is still possible, and Microsoft will automatically activate the Windows 10 license.
