My laptop can't handle 10bit H.265 / HEVC videos, so I'm looking to convert them to 10bit H.264. How do I do this using, say, ffmpeg, with the least quality loss? And how can I convert 10-bit H.265 to 8-bit H.265?

Convert 10-bit H.265 to 10-bit H.264:
ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -c:a copy output.mkv
libx264 will automatically to to match the pixel format of the input, so no extra parameters are needed.
The example uses
-crf 18which will likely appear visually lossless. If you want true lossless mode then then use-crf 0, but note this can create large files. See FFmpeg Wiki: H.264.
Convert 10-bit H.265 to 8-bit H.265:
ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx265 -vf format=yuv420p -c:a copy output.mkv
Uses the format filter to choose the
yuv420ppixel format to create 8-bit output.Adjust the
-crfvalue to provide the desired level of quality. Default is-crf 28. See FFmpeg Wiki: H.265.If you want lossless mode then then replace
-crfwith-x265-params lossless=1, but note this can create large files.
