How to downgrade python with conda on windows?

Hello,
I have python 3.11 installed with conda (anaconda3), but I must only use 3.10 for some software.
How can I downgrade from python 3.11 to 3.10?

Thanks

p.s. Even setting and activating an virtual environment with conda and python 3.10 is disregarded by some software.

it worked NOT work:
conda install python=3.10

it’s taking ages with “solving environment” and nothing happens

I’m not sure what you mean here…so, let me get this straight. You have a (base) anaconda environment of python 3.11, and say, for your data science project, you want/need to run your environment with python 3.10, so that the machine learning package, say pytorch, can work.

Is that what you’re saying?

So what happens when you do the following in your conda environment? Are you stuck with the solving environment still? Because I imagine the solving environment problem happens when you try to install another version of python in your base environment…

(base) C:\Temp > conda create -n python_310_env python=3.10
(base) C:\Temp > conda activate python_310
