Are there any operating systems that offer an seamless, out-of-the-box downgrade option? When I first upgraded from windows 7 to 10 I remember wanting to go back and finding out that it was an incredibly convoluted process. Although I guess with iOS you just can’t downgrade, period.

Some Android manufacturers provide "factory images" allowing you to completely wipe your phone and reinstall any version supported on the hardware. Google is probably the best, maintaining an archive of every version released for the phones they sell.

You actually can downgrade iOS but only if you are inside the "grace" period that is about 1 month from the first release. After that point you can't downgrade anymore. In my case I always wait before updating because I have been burnt in the past, but this means that I'm outside the grace period. Even extending it to something like 6 months would be great.

When I upgraded a laptop from Windows 7 to 10, and then it wouldn't resume from sleep anymore, I told Windows 10 to revert and it took a long time but worked perfectly.
