HI @Sleekzf
Microsoft provides free W10 to W11 upgrade options. I have never tried this in reverse.
HP generally only provides recovery media for the operating system shipped with the PC. W11 Home in your situation.
You could download the Microsoft W10 Installation Media Tool Here. Run the tool to create W10 USB installation media.
Back up data before doing a clean W10 Home installation. Or you could try a W11 to W10 downgrade within W11. I don't think this will work. Again, I have never tried this. I have been upgrading PCs from W10 to W11.
Check to see if W10 will activate if you have to do a W10 clean install. You may have to purchase a W10 product key.
You are trying something that may end up where you don't want to go.
However, your PC should have a free Cloud Recovery option if things don't go well or W10 will not activate after a good install.
Regards
