Windows 10: i installed the free version of win 10 in 2016 then reverted back to win7 can i now...

i installed the free version of win 10 in 2016 then reverted back to win7, can i now reinstall the free version of win 10?

This would be on the same machine but with a different hard drive as i had a problem with the HD very early on after the upgrade from win7, probably with in a few days.

Would the Microsoft server still have the relevant info for me to do this now?


Thanks

WIN10 UPDATES NOT WORKING. HOW TO REVERT TO WIN7?

Thank you for responding.

Just to clarify, your steps listed here is to allow me to revert to WIN7?

 

Does activation remain valid in case of revert to Win7?


If I revert to the previous Win version before the 30 day trial period of Win 10 is over: Will I be able to install Win10 any time after 29 of July 2016?

Reason: I started the upgrade, but some unforeseen circumstances will detain me from finishing the upgrade and configuring our 10 PCs before 29 of July 2016. So my idea: I upgrade all PC now and immediately revert to Win7.

As I understood, the activation is stored centrally at MS with a fingerprint of the hardware and it should be possible to install Win10 using this activation any time later...

 

Build 10240 - Any expiry on ACTIVATED versions??

I was going to do that for my benefit because of the way I have my partitions setup and to be legal with the EULA that isn't a step by step instruction. Right now I am waiting to see if build 10240 is actually the release build and yes I know at lot of people don't believe 10240 is the release version. I still may need to do that if build 10240 is not the release version.
