Using Windows 11 License with Windows 10

Question

I recently bought an Inspiron 15 3511 which came with a licensed Windows 11. I personally don't like Windows 11 and I want to install Windows 10. If I do this, can I activate the new Windows 10 with the same digital license? If so, will just being online take care of it?

The answer is yes - but it would be a good idea to make a complete, tested image of Windows 11 (or replace the drive and keep the original), since Dell will insist on the factory installed OS being reinstalled before any warranty support is rendered.

Thanks man, for the response. Some questions as a noob. Can I just reinstall Windows 11 if I need a warranty or does it have to be the one that came with the laptop? How do I make a complete, tested image of the Windows 11 I have now?
