However, after ten days, the system automatically deletes the previous installation files, making the recovery option unavailable. In that case, you must perform a <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/clean-install-windows-11\/\">clean installation<\/a> using the Windows 11 23H2 ISO file.<\/p>\n<p>The main challenge is that Microsoft no longer provides the ISO file for version 23H2. However, you can still downgrade by using <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/download-windows-11-23h2-iso-after-24h2\/\">the UUP third-party script<\/a> to download the installation files directly from Microsoft&#8217;s servers.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that uninstalling the Windows 11 2024 Update may require you to reinstall some apps and could result in the loss of settings configured while using version 24H2. If you choose the clean installation method, all your files, settings, and apps will be erased. You&#8217;ll need to restore your files from a backup, reinstall your applications, and reconfigure your system.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I will teach you the steps for rolling back to Windows 11 23H2 after upgrading to version 24H2.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"toc\">\n<li><a href=\"#uninstall_windows11_24h2_settings\">Rollback to version 23H2 from Windows 11 24H2 using Settings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#uninstall_windows11_24h2_winre\">Rollback to version 23H2 from Windows 11 24H2 using ISO<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"tip-box\"><span><strong>Important:<\/strong> Regardless of the option you choose, it&#8217;s recommended to <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/backup-windows-11-external-usb-drive\/\">create a full backup of your computer<\/a> in case something goes wrong and restore your device to a working condition.
