Lets now confused the downgrade rights of licences, with actual installation copies/instances of a Windows O/s.

You cannot and will never be able to take a laptop with any version of a Windows o/s and run a program to turn it into a version that was released before. i.e. you cannot and will not be able to take an installed copy of windows 7 or Vista and turn the machine into a WinXP, wthout doing a full clean install.


Downgrade rights purely relate to and only to, paper licence rights - which is legal permision granted by Microsoft.
