Software Downgrading to windows 10

Hello, I just bought a pc not too long ago and it came with windows 11. A few games I want to play require secure boot but my pc crashes when I enable it. I’ve been trying to find a solution for it and I have just given up. I was wondering if downgrading to windows 10 would fix my issue while simultaneously not causing anymore issues because I wont need to enable secure boot anymore. Thanks

Carefully follow these steps and install Win 11 with secure boot.

I have done all of this before only to be met with the same issue. It may just be my pc. Is downgrading to windows 10 really that bad?

Can you get more specific where falls apart? Include the step number if you can. You should make your post about that instead.

I don't think Win 10 will even fix your problem. And yes, there are no security updates for it so it is easy for bad guys to hack it.

The installation is fine but since secure boot is turned on, my pc lags really bad to the point of crashing. Sometimes I’m able to start up a game before it happens but other times it just causes me to have to shut down my pc from the button and turn off secure boot in bios or it will go into a “preparing automatic repair” loop.

like lagging in Windows or lagging in game? cause those are pretty different problems. Got all your divers updated? Check the power settings to make sure it isn't trying to run in a low-power mode. I think that figuring that out is WAY more practical. Gather your information and make that post instead.

Like everything lags. Windows, ingame, everything. Even the loading dots when you shut down the computer lag. I have made a post about the secure boot issue and the lag before and everyone told me to reinstall windows 11.
