This is why I always fall back onto Virtual Machines whenever we have to do any testing of operating systems, because ruining a whole PC just to get some tests done on rather generic stuff, isn't really my M.O.

Download ISO
We have a full guide on how to uninstall Windows 11, but the main tool we used there was the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft. This lets you straight-up download a whole ISO from them directly to install at a later date.
