    Upgrade to Windows 10 pro from a preinstalled W7 pro downgrade


    Hello.

    I’d appreciate some advice on the following-

    I’m considering purchasing a business notebook pc whose OS has been downgraded from Windows 10 pro to Windows 7 pro through the built in downgrade rights by the manufacturer machine specs include 6th gen core i5, 512gb ssd and 8gb RAM. I prefer Windows 10 pro on my laptop-the question is, if I do purchase this machine, will it be possible to upgrade to Windows 10 pro for free when I setup the computer? If yes, is there anything particular I need to know about the process for doing so?


    Thanks.

    :)

  2. 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.

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

    Here is the information about Downgrade rights. It is an old Microsoft link which they removed but the information still apples>

    Device Partner Center

    Downgrade rights for Windows software
    The following OEM versions of Windows software are eligible for downgrade rights.

    [table][tr][td]Windows 10 Pro includes downgrade rights to:
    • Windows 8.1 Pro
    • Windows 7 Professional
    [/td][td]Windows 8.1 Pro includes downgrade rights to:
    • Windows 7 Professional
    • Windows Vista Business
    [/td][td]Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate include downgrade rights to:
    • Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Ultimate
    • Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, or Windows XP x64 Edition
    Note Other OEM Windows 7 versions (for example, Windows 7 Home Basic and Windows 7 Home Premium) do not include downgrade rights.[/td][/tr][/table]

    Note downgrade rights are only available as long as Microsoft provides support for that earlier version,
    as outlined in the
    Windows lifecycle fact sheet
    .

    Steps for an end user to downgrade Windows software


    To downgrade eligible Windows software, end users must:

    • Purchase a PC preinstalled with Windows software.
    • Accept the Microsoft Software License Terms.
    • Perform the downgrade process to the eligible downgrade product using the media/key from a genuine, previously licensed OEM or retail product.

  3. Windows 10 Pro downgrade

    Did it come preinstalled with OEM Windows 10 Pro, or was it a retail store bought Windows 10 Pro license that was installed?

    Is there a Windows 10 or Windows 7 sticker on the chassis of the machine?

    Click Start, type: system information

    Hit Enter

    What does the BIOS date say?

    If it came preinstalled with Windows 10 Pro, review the following:
