That's what Macrium Reflect is for. Life can be so easy...

Win 10 is supposed to do it for you and revert seamlessly if done
before a couple of weeks


Actually, no.

The seamless part, is anything contained in Windows.old
is preserved very nicely. No argument there.

However, they modify the contents of your Program Files,
removing programs as they see fit, which means an
attempt to revert, they never put the contents
of Program Files back.

This is why we use backup software here. *Backup* before
your "free" Upgrade installation! That's how you revert,
with absolutely no issues at all. A backup copy will
keep your Program Files, the way you had it.

HTH,

So to give in to microsoft exhortation and update from a perfectly good
working system with 128 GB SSD to a FREE one which does not work and
stops what you had from working on revert You need to spend $100.00 or
so for external memory to back up to.
