    Upgrade WIN7 To WIN10 Using Cloned WIN7 SSD: Can Both Licenses Remain?


    I have a WIN 7 cloned SSD and want to attempt the WIN 10 Upgrade on it keeping all my files and apps.
    In case the Upgrade fails I will still have my original WIN7 SSD and can reinsert it.

    Question is: once I Upgrade the clone to WIN 10, will I still be able to use my original WIN7 SSD too or will its license be deactivated? I'm trying to plan ahead in case the upgrade is not be successful so I can easily revert to WIN7 by just reinserting the original SSD?

    In other words, when I type-in the WIN7 license code upon upgrading to WIN10 does it automatically deactivate my copy of WIN7 or start a clock running on its demise (especially since the WIN 10 Upgrade may not be fully successful and only time would tell)? From everything I have read, the free WIN10 upgrade is still available if you have a valid WIN7 code to insert.

    :)
