A:Answer This can be done, but requires some manual effort, i.e. Window 10 automatic update will not install all the drivers, and will not recognize the Realtek High Definition Audio driver.
My suggestion is the following:
1. Update the BIOS (if needed) while you are still on Win11; HP's OEM's software will help. You may not have an update option at all once you are on Windows 10
2. Also while in Win 11, create a partition to download on the hard drive to download the drivers into. This will survive the install of Windows 10, and provide you ready access. The drivers you will need to download, are:
-- Realtek High Definition Audio - 6.0.9305.1
-- Cirrus Logic Awesome Speaker Amps - 16.40.10.123
-- mediatek-wi-fi-6e-mt7922-160mhz-wireless-lan-card-1432272
-- AMD Chipset_Software_4.06.10.651
-- WHQL-AMD-Software-Adrenalin-Edition-22.6.1-Win10-Win11-June29
The best sites to find these are:
-- https://www.realtek.com/en/downloads
-- https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=ACPI%5CHPIC0014
-- https://www.amd.com/en/support
3. During the Win 10 install, delete all 3 Win 11 partitions, but keeping the partition with your drivers. Install Win 10 on the newly created unassigned space.
4. Do NOT connect to the internet after installing Win 10. Install all the drivers manually first through the Device Manager (check on-line how to do that)
5. Finally start up WiFi and do a Windows update.
Done.
