You can downgrade Windows from version 1803 to 1603 while preserving all files and settings. Make sure you back up your data first, then use the Windows downgrade tool to complete the process.

You can create a new partition on your drive and run another version of Windows 10 there. The operating system will need enough space—typically more than 4-10GB for other apps and games—but it should still work if you allocate sufficient space.

This feature requires an upgrade from the previous version within the past 30 days. OP just performed a clean install of 1803. I believe there isn't an official method for this.

It seems Microsoft hasn't updated the ISO with 1803 yet. Your current ISO from March doesn't include it.

You downloaded the Windows 10 ISO for version 16, created a new partition with 50GB space, installed it on your USB drive, and restarted the system. After a brief delay, the OS loaded and prompted you to prepare devices. The screen went dark for a minute, then displayed a larger cursor before restarting again with the option to try another OS. You attempted to boot into Windows 1600 but encountered an issue. What might have caused this problem?

I tried restarting again and unintentionally left my PC running. It directed me to the Win1600 installation settings with Cortana and PC name options. It seems it’s functioning properly. However, I still need to install every driver just like before. That’s probably fine.

Use Macrium Reflect Free to back up your Windows version, ensuring you can always revert. Turn off the Windows Firewall (if possible), disable the Security Center, BITS, and Windows Update. Create a task in the Task Scheduler to automatically disable BITS each time Windows attempts to start it again. This will prevent future updates from occurring. The reason for disabling the firewall is that many functions rely on it, such as installing software from the Microsoft Store or receiving updates. Unlike disabling just BITS and Windows Update, this setting is more permanent. Windows doesn't anticipate needing to disable the firewall or Security Center, so its diagnostic tools show no issues. Whether it's wise to stay outdated depends on your preference; this is the solution provided here.
