So, my Windows 10 didn't activated, when i added SSD and transferred my OS there, and i have nothing left from 7 because it needed to be formatted, so i have to buy new license.

Now i have Windows 7 PRO 64-bit FIN SP1 OEM, (Yeah i am from finland, but this site gives the most accurate answers :).), so how do i change my OS (WIN10 PRO) to WIN7 Pro?

Is it just that BIOS > Boot settings > Boot from DVD/CD > And follow instructions? and when choosing the SSD, i just format the old windows from the ''Format'' button? and then keep installing? is it just that simple? Thanks already (It might not been activated because i have changed my components latley and windows wont recognize it as same computer anymore)

Just that simple.

The reason Winodows 10 didn't activate was because you formatted the disk Windows 7 was on. You need to first upgrade to get Windows 10 to activate properly, then do a full format .
