    Are there Windows 10 / 7 Dual Boot license restrictions?


    When Windows 10 comes out, I'll upgrade my 7 Pro license to 10.

    I really want a dual boot environment. I know how to build a 7 / 10 dual boot machine. Question is about licensing.

    Can I legally use my current Win 7 license along with the free upgrade license Windows 10 to dual boot the machine?

    Or would i need a Win 7 license and a separate Win 10 license (one which isn't just an upgrade of the Win 7 license?)

    Legally the W10 Upgrade replaces the W7 license and you can't use both at the same time.
