    Rollback to Windows 8.1 then CLean install


    I upgraded to windows 10 but now I want to roll back to windows 8.1. In the future if I want to perform a clean install in my laptop will my windows 10 still be activated?

    Simply, yes, as long as Windows 10 has been activated. Make sure you create installation media for the appropriate version and architecture to reinstall.
