Windows stupid... have questions
I rarely use Windows, but need it sometimes to help my children with their computer problems/needs. I have an HP dm4-3050us laptop that came with windows 7 Home. I have done the upgrade to Windows 10 and everything is working all right. The computer is dual booted with Linux Mint 17.3. Now, if I screw things up (as I often do) and need/want to do a clean reinstall, what is the process to get back to where I am now. I know how to do a dual boot again. My concern is....will MS let me upgrade my Windows 7 to Windows 10 again/as many times as I want? Will the July 2016 by-date change how I will have to do this both either before or after that date? Is some sort of key going to be needed?
