I want to downgrade my kernel to 4.8 to 4.4. Does anyone know how to downgrade kernel? I have a 64 bit system.
If you are wondering, some of my systems aren't compatible with kernel 4.8. I tried to google about it, but no hope.

There is no way to downgrade. You need to do a fresh install. – Pilot6 Nov 04 '16 at 18:06

Does that mean I need to delete the entire system and get a new .iso image? – god dam it Nov 04 '16 at 18:06

You do not need to delete anything. You can get a 16.04 iso and do a fresh install from it. – Pilot6 Nov 04 '16 at 18:07

How do you do what? Install Ubuntu or get an iso? The same way you previously installed Ubuntu. – Pilot6 Nov 04 '16 at 18:09

No I meant like how do I delete the current OS, so that I can grab a new iso and plug it in – god dam it Nov 04 '16 at 18:10

You do not need to delete the current OS. Boot from LiveUSB and you will have an option to replace the current OS with the other one. – Pilot6 Nov 04 '16 at 18:12

The 4.4 kernel is not supported in Ubuntu 16.10.
You can use Ubuntu 16.04 on hardware that you claim to be incompatible with the 4.8 kernel.

You can use any kernel you like, but the only supported kernel on 16.10 is 4.8. – Pilot6 Nov 04 '16 at 18:05

@goddamit: you can use any kernel you like, but custom kernel questions are off-topic here... Also, if the answer helped you, don't forget to [accept it](http://askubuntu.com/help/someone-answers) – Fabby Nov 04 '16 at 20:33
