Since downloading MacOS Ventura 13.1, using my laptop has become laborious to say the least. Everything that was simple to do prior to the download has created more work to accomplish. How can I remove this update?

There is No UNDO to MacOS updates or upgrades.
You can never install OLDER MacOS over NEWER MacOS.
If you have everything backed up (two copies by different methods is often suggested) you can Completely ERASE your physical drive, deleting all files. then you can re-install the version of MacOS you like, provided it is not older than the version that shipped with your machine when it was new. Then you can Migrate your files from the backup.

That is a lot of work, for something like Ventura that will become inevitable after a while.

Hi,
You can downgrade if you take Time Machine back up or bootable clone back up, though if you didn't, you can't downgrade to previous macOS.
