s about Windows 10 licensing
Hello! Your question is clear. Upgrading from Windows 8 to 10 and then to Windows 7 means changing the OS versions. Installing Windows 7 should not interfere with the embedded key in the BIOS, since it’s separate from your current setup. If you switch back to Windows 10 later, the embedded key should still be recognized.
Yes, if you dual boot and never use the 10 partition, it should remain active.
You can set up Windows 7 on that machine with that key. To remove it from the computer, open CMD as an administrator and run "slmgr /upk" without quotes. Once finished, you can transfer that key to another PC. After that, you can perform a clean installation of Windows 10, which will activate it.
