Windows 10: Windows 11 digital license

If I upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 before the free upgrade ends and then revert back to Windows 10 within the 10 day go back period can I still upgrade to Windows 11 again for free even if the free upgrade period has ended? Essentially what I am asking is: Is the digital license I receive for Windows 11 when doing the free upgrade good for the life of the computer whether or not I keep Windows 11 on the computer?

Windows 11 to 10 downgrade, digital license

Hello!

I've tried looking an answer through the forums and microsoft pages but my question still stands.

Two years ago I bought a prebuilt PC with windows 10 installed. Then I got an automatic upgrade to windows 11 which I need to downgrade back to 10 due to compatibility issues with VR software (more than 2 months have passed). My current windows 11 version is "activated with a digital license" but I haven't connected it with my microsoft account yet.

What steps should I follow to secure a windows activation after a clean windows 10 installation?

1. I know that I need to create an installation media for windows. Do I choose "upgrade computer now" or "create an installation media to use on another computer"?
   
2. Do I connect my windows 11 current digital license to my microsoft account now or wait until after I install windows 10 again?
   

Thanks in advance!

 

Digital license

Thats how licensing works with Windows 10, the digital license is attached to your Microsoft Account and makes it easy to reactivate Windows 10 in the event you reinstall it.
