any solutions to downgrade to Big Sur without losing my files?
thanks before...


No. It can be done, but it's a bit more complex than if you had a Big Sur backup.


You can create one or more backups now, and make sure they contain all the stuff you want to keep.


Then ERASE the entire DRIVE, by Physical device, not just the MacOS Volume.


Then install Big Sur from Recovery.


The on first run, restore only your User account(s) from the Trusted backup.
