After upgrading to Windows 11 Laptop is very slow and its more  than a month.  Can someone help me to downgrade to WIndows 10? Have tried all the steps mentioned like Reset,  recover but nothing has worked. Please help

If it has been beyond 10 days since you upgraded to W11, you will have to clean install W10.

Back up any files you don't want to lose onto a portable hard drive and have any program installation files available to reinstall programs you added since you bought the notebook. 

If you installed Microsoft Office/Office 365, make sure you have the product key for that.

See if your notebook is supported by the HP cloud recovery tool which you can use to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10 the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook.

Here is an info link for how to use the utility.  You will need a 32 GB USB flash drive to create the recovery drive.

If your notebook is not supported by the cloud recovery tool your other option would be to install W10 by making a bootable W10 installation flash drive with the media creation tool from the link below:

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

After W10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your notebook's support page.
