With the free upgrade news, dual booting Windows 7 and Windows 10 using the same key should still be feasible. You won’t need a new key unless there are any restrictions.

If you can get your hands on the ISO, I don't see why not

It might be feasible, you may need to set up a separate partition on your storage. I suggest using tools like VMWare or VirtualBox.

Yes, you want to prevent fast startup in Windows 10, ensuring it doesn’t shut down to the kernel before restarting, which means you won’t end up switching operating systems unintentionally.

You can start using the same key, but it depends on whether Microsoft supports it. If it’s available, you won’t need a different one. Otherwise, you might have to obtain another key.

You can install both Windows 10 TP and Windows 7 side by side even though the official site no longer lists them, and they function properly. Still, I’m not sure the upcoming updates will maintain the same setup.

You require various product keys; using an old Windows key won't work with the new version and vice versa.

Yes, everything they said confirmed that, but why did you need it? It doesn’t provide any benefit at all?

Sure, you can run both operating systems on the same machine, but it’s recommended to place them on separate partitions. It seems you might not be able to use the same key for both.

There might be more backing for Windows 7 than it currently has, and version 10 seems to be more of a joke or a playful reference.
