I apologize in advance if these seem like stupid questions.
I upgraded to Windows 10 on July 29. If its relevant, I had an OEM version of Windows 7.
I have now decided to revert back to Windows 7 for the time being. I will almost certainly choose to return to Windows 10 at a later date.
1) When that happens, will the upgrade tool I used on 7/29 to get Windows 10 still be available?
I understand that there is a 30 day deadline to revert back to your old OS after getting Windows 10.
2) If, after getting Windows 10, I decide to revert back to my old OS within 30 days, does that start a new 30 day timer for undoing the revert, or is the opportunity to "re-upgrade" to Windows 10 now permanent?
3) If I do "re-upgrade" to Windows 10 after a revert, does that start a new 30 day timer to "re-revert," or is there only one opportunity to revert? In other words, is it, in theory possible to go back and forth multiple times?
4a) If I saved windows.old on an external hard drive, would it allow me to revert back to Windows 7 after the 30 day deadline has passed?
4b) If such a thing is possible, are there any other folders I would need to backup externally?
4c) If it is possible to get around the 30 day reversion deadline by using an external hard drive, how would I go about reverting if I chose to do so? Would simply dragging the backups back to the C-drive allow me to use the standard reversion process?
