My current PC has Windows 10 Pro, which is a free upgrade (known as digital entitlement) from a Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) version. Now, the thing is, I've been thinking on doing a downgrade back to w7 because of certain compatibility issues, but my hardware doesn't have the sticker that shows the OEM license. I have a Samsung laptop, so I have a recovery CD with the default OS. I'm not sure on formatting because of any possible loose of the license key. Once I tried formatting on another Samsung laptop with his respective disk and it not only installed the OS, but also, made pre-validated with the OEM license. Back then I downgraded from w8.
Now I'm not sure if it will work, so I've decided to come here and ask about it, because I don't want to buy a new license key. Please, I want to know if the digital entitlement holds or inherits the same key from the previous OS installed in the computer. Does it inherits?
