HP 15.6in Laptop PC-eq2xxx
Microsoft Windows 11

So I have a question. I want to downgrade my Windows 11 PC to Windows 10. Since Windows 11 is the pre-installed OS that was bought just last December, I've seen Windows 11 as not good enough to be a Good OS and still has some bugs for now and I figured to make a downgrade. However, the question is will it void the warranty of the PC? I'm really curious because if I lose the warranty, I will have to pay any service charges to the laptop if something goes horribly wrong.

 

PC Specs? Here are the basic specs:

Model - HP 15s-EQ2158AU

Processor - AMD Ryzen 5 5500U @ 2.10GHz (6 cores, 12 threads)

Memory: SAMSUNG 8192MB RAM (8GB) DDR4 3200MHz

Storage: 512GB KINGSTON SSD

GPU: AMD Radeon Vega 7 Graphics with 512MB dedicated memory DDR4

Hi,

The OS you install on the machine will not void the warranty.

It should be no problem to just install Windows 10 on it, you can always reinstall Windows 11

you can create a bootable USB drive directly from Microsoft

Hope it helps,

Will HP know that I've downgraded it?

HP will most likely not know.

You can always reinstall Windows 11 if necessary.

 

Hope it helps,

Last question regarding about the HP Apps, where will I get those apps? Since it's a downgrade, I have to clean install the OS.
