Upgrade from Windows 7 to10 licensing question

blueisthecolour · Mar 28, 2016

Hi Guys,

If I take the free upgrade from W7 to W10, and several months later restore W7 from an earlier system image, will the licence for W7 still be valid?

Any advice much appreciated, thank you.

I don't know if this is exactly covered by the MS licensing wording, but you have an option to revert back to 7 from 10, so don't see what you will be doing is any different.

I think the reversion is only good for up to 30 days.

After that, you no longer have a W7 license, you have a W10 license.

Thanks for answering hang/Corwin. It was the 31 day grace period I was thinking about. So over 31 days I can't revert?

No you can't.

Why do you want to revert? If it's the user interface or the telemetry you don't like, there are solutions for that.

In case there are driver or software issues. My present Windows 7 set up works flawlessly.
