I have regularly saved C:\ to bootable SSD’s but never had to use one.
My Win10 machine upgraded “itself” to Win11. I’ve spent one long day and two evenings trying to get things back to normal
…but…run…out…of…patience.
Can I simply install the latest backup from 5/4 and start up? Or are there extra steps?
MORE: or is it easier to just UN-install the Win 11 update?
MORE-2 Windows says the W11 update cannot be uninstalled.
Perhaps System Recovery?

OH WOW – FIVE STARS FOR YOU…!! MANY MANY THANKS!
In my first effort, I went to update history and tried to uninstall.
But the msg said cannot be unstalled.
However, your great link said, use Recovery.
Returned to the update history, and scrolled down down down…
And there was Recovery!!! Clicked that five minutes later–done…!

many thanks again
