Method 3: Clean Install Windows 11 22H2/21H2

If the Go back option is not available (e.g., after the 10-day period), you can perform a clean install of Windows 11 22H2 or 21H2. Here’s how:

1. Download the Windows 11 22H2/21H2 ISO:

   • Since Microsoft updates its website with the latest version, you may not find older ISOs on their site. Instead, search for the ISO file on a third-party site like the Internet Archive to download the previous version.

2. Create a Bootable USB Drive:

   • Use a tool like Rufus to burn the downloaded ISO to a USB drive, creating a bootable installation drive.

3. Boot from the USB Drive:

   • Restart your PC and boot from the USB drive. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS/UEFI settings.

4. Perform a Clean Install:

   • Follow the on-screen instructions to perform a clean installation of Windows 11 22H2 or 21H2.
