Activation at a later time
A friend of mine has a dell n5050 laptop and would like to upgrade to windows 10. He did in the past and the upgrade didn't last long before it (crashed - his words not mine, I wasn't there), anyway he is back on windows 7 now. I have just checked on the dell website and it seems his laptop model still isn't compatible with windows 10. My question is, if he performs the upgrade to 10 and then rolls back to 7 now (for his digital entitlement activation), will the Microsoft servers still recognise his activation on 10 after the free upgrade period is over, when possibly his laptop is compatible with windows 10. Or will the activation servers see he has reverted back to 7 and cancel his activation? I assume the only way to get digital entitlement is to do an in place upgrade or to use the get windows 10 app.
