    Can I reinstall windows 10 down to windows 7 or windows 8.1?


    Hi everyone who read this post, i have a problem about windows 10, i think this windows is perfect, but it has some problem about using my resource, the picture below is my operate system:You see in the picture, i have only 4 GB RAM, but i just turn on the computer and don't do anything, it has taken 1 GB -> 2 GB RAM, it's using so much, and luckily the CPU is not loading so much, just from 1% -> 5%. And i want to reduce the number of RAM the windows using, I just suggested about reinstall win 10 down to 8.1 and 7, the windows 7 is perfect and it's not heavy like win 10, but it has unsup

    How to reinstall Windows 10 if my computers used the free upgrade from 7 and 8?

    Will windows 10 still accept the license keys from 7 and 8 now if I reinstall my computer?

    Does Microsoft keep a list of users who upgraded to Win 10 using their 7 and 8 keys so that when users need to reinstall windows 10 the old keys would work?

    Do I need to call in Microsoft to ask them to activate my Windows 10 when I give them my win 7 keys?

    Both computers are laptops. The windows 7 machine had the serial printed on the back, and I needed to enter that when I upgraded to 10. The windows 8 machine had the serial built in inside its boot system so I didn't need to enter the key when I upgraded to 10, but I did manage to write down the keys using a fetcher program.
