Did you encounter issues with drivers after installing Windows 10 on a Windows 11 laptop?
Hello friends,
My ASUS laptop functions well with Windows 10, even though it was originally shipped with Windows 11. The ASUS website only offers drivers for Windows 11, but I successfully installed a networking driver despite its specific category. MyASUS software also works fine, and I can find BIOS updates through the download button in the program. This suggests the laptop isn’t officially compatible with Windows 10, yet it operates perfectly there.
I installed Windows 10 using a tool from Microsoft with recommended settings enabled. The machine is an ASUS ROG (2022) G15, and I’m pleased to say the temperature problem has been resolved thanks to the cooling pad and its fast spin speed.
In fact, stability improved after switching back to Windows 10, and blue screen errors disappeared. However, I’m curious if there are any issues preventing me from moving to Windows 11 or if I’m stuck in a driver-level limitation. I really don’t want to revert to Win11 because it’s known for bugs, glitches, and BSODs that can reappear.
Thank you!
It's a bit of a workaround if it functions. Win11 is mostly just a redesigned version of Win10, almost like a joke. But when a specific Win11 capability becomes essential or an installer demands it, you're all set.
Just reinstalled win11 then rolled back to win10, it seems drivers are located at a separate part of the SSD, both OSs detected already installed BIOS number so no new BIOS update but keyboard firmware was removed so I had to install that again. Weird how Windows works. Why is that keyboard have a firmware? It's just a keyboard and mouse stuff, plug and play no more?
