Is it possible to downgrade my Ubuntu 16.04 installation to 14.04?

I have recently upgraded my Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 16.04, but it is not compatible with my laptop. Most often I have to face lagging. Is there any official way to get back my Ubuntu 14.04?

There is no official way to downgrade. You need to backup and reinstall.

Something to consider. Sometimes upgrading is messy. If you're going to backup and reinstall, try doing an install of 16.04 first. It may work as a clean install better than as the upgrade you did. If it doesn't work, you already have a backup and it's just formatting again with 14.04.
