windows 10 ESD downgrade to windows 7 pro

Your question is very confusing.

So you have a software download of Windows 10 Pro with no product key.

Is that correct?

Then you say:

1. I dont wanna use windows 10, i need use windwos 7 pro

2. need a purchase license only windows 10 pro

3. how i can activate this license key(windows 10 pro ESD) on my PC with windows 7 pro?

4. I dont wanna use windows 10, i need use windwos 7 pro

If you already have Windows 7 why download Windows 10 Pro if you don't want to use Windows 10 Pro??

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

If by some chance you mean that you bought Windows 10 Pro and you want to downgrade it for free to Windows 7 Pro, you can't.

Windows 10 Pro had to be a preinstalled OEM license.

How to downgrade Win7 pro to WinXP

I have bought Windows 7 pro edition which is downgradable. The question is how to downgrade ?
After the downgrade what is going to be the s/n of the XP is it going to be the same S/N of the Windows 7 pro that I have downgraded ?
And is it possible to install Windows XP with the Windows 7 pro serial number ?
And if I want to end up with XP downgrade is it the only way ?

 

Windows 10 Pro downgrade to 7 Pro -- Key?

For a variety of reasons, around software compatibility, our database server client doesn't support Windows 10 -- we will be upgrading it in the future, but right now there are too many other things in the mix.

We do however need to upgrade from XP Pro (I know!!) on the PCs.

Windows 10 Pro permits a downgrade to Windows 7 Pro, which is where we need to be at this stage for software compatibility. However, I don't understand how I install Windows 7 Pro. If I buy 50 licences of Windows 10, it comes with a Windows 10 key, how
do I used this as my downgrade rights to 7 Pro? The Microsoft website is very vague on this.

Thanks for any thoughts
