I upgraded from win7 to 10 then after a while I re-formatted & went back to Win 7 (clean install) and will be going back to 10. Can I wait to go back for free after 7/31 since I already installed it once & nothing has changed on my PC or do I have to get in before the deadline?
If you activated Win 10 on the PC, Microsoft's activation servers are supposed to retain a "digital entitlement" indefinitely that would allow you to activate 10 on the same hardware. (For practical purposes, hardware = motherboard.)
You don't need to do anything to install and activate 10 again after 7/29.
So MS wont object if I install Win 10 from my ISO disc I made from their site after 7/29 or even upgrade my current Win 7 to Win 10. That is actually what I did originally, upgraded from 7 to 10 and used it about 2 months B/4 I got upset with the missing parts I had with 7 & went back to Win 7.
Thanks for the reply
