Upgrading to Windows 10 (11 => 10) | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
Heyas,



I am looking to upgrade my OS to Windows 10 on a newly-purchased 2022 Blade 15 (a few weeks), but saw this thread (/need-recovery-image-for-the-newest-blade-17.84541/#post-807586) implying that there are some driver issues. I would have chimed in on-thread, but it was locked super-quickly.



How would I go about getting this upgrade done? Alternatively, what is the state of Linux on Razer? I remember there was a big deal made out of making Razer the best Linux laptop - did anything come of that?

The team does not recommend this as some drivers may fail to work. You need to search for its older firmware/drivers due to compatibility. Also, for blades shipped with Windows 11, the product key in Windows 11 will not work with Windows 10. The drivers will also not be available via Windows update. I’ll be locking this thread now. Feel free to send me a PM anytime or visit our self-help options should you have other questions or concerns. Also, please refer to the link below:



Can I dual-boot, partition, modify, or install other operating systems on the Razer Blade?
