In this video I show how to downgrade an Apple iPad from iPadOS 27 back to iPadOS 26. This method works only while the newer version is still signed (commonly when you are on a beta). I cover checking your iPadOS version, important backup warnings, how to enter Recovery mode, connecting to a Windows PC (Apple Devices app) or Mac (Finder), choosing Restore (not Update) to reinstall the older system, and what to do if restore fails — including entering DFU mode. I also explain Activation Lock during setup and how to finish the iPad setup after the restore. Follow each step carefully; restoring erases all data so make sure you have your backups or have copied important files before you begin.
