Try it and report your findings.
I'd be interested to know, if you succeed.
(Theoretically windows 7 should get deactivated after this.)
Yeah you can use on one, but Windows is a lot more lenient with licences/activation than they used to be, probably out of necessity due to free period of win 10. They know people are going to need to reformat/reinstall. I think it will activate

No.
You have one license. You can't use both.
You may possibly be able to Upgrade your Win 7 to 10. The actual Upgrade period expired over a year ago, but may reports says it still works.
But if you do, you don't get to continue using the old Win 7.
