  That is a lengthy thread so I’ll cut to the chase and provide your answer here:

  The Classic Editor will continue to exist in wp-admin. We know some users prefer to use this editor, so we want you to have access to it, instead of phasing it out with the new version of the Dashboard. However, a link to the Classic Editor will not return to the New Editor. From: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/when-editing-an-old-post-how-do-i-switch-to-the-classic-editor?replies=5#post-2316097

  Access the classic editor at > Dashboard > Posts > Add New
  Note that you can bookmark the link for convenience sake.

  Staff removed the link in the new editor to the classic editor but there are two workarounds that can be used found here:
