Q: Back to El Capitan

I installed the test version of Sierra. It is terrible. Can I get back to El Capitan?

I do not know enough about the problems to present them to Apple but had an extra computer and thought I would try the new S/W.

you can restore your computer from a time machine backup if you made one as recommended by the beta installer

if you do not have any backup and you only have the one HD you will need to restore your original OS from recovery mode or the disks that shipped with your computer depending on the age

As we are not allowed to discuss beta software problems here in order not to violate the NDA you agreed to, we can point you to Apple's instructions on how to return to a shipping version of the OS (note the instructions under the Support heading):
