Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
Probably not -- but that's not for certain.
I'm saying that because, with the situation of Upgrading to Win10, Microsoft used to do something called Digital Entitlement -- in which they REUSED the existing Windows license for the Upgrade and then stored that information on their Activation servers.
Thus, if later, you downgraded the PC back to its former OS, and then even later, you decided you wanted back, you COULD do that because the PC had already been registered with MS.
But OEM licenses are different, and since this is an OEM PC, I simply don't know if Digital Entitlement applies in this case -- as OEM licensing, in the past, has always been different from consumer licensing.
I am a volunteer and I do not work for, nor represent, HP
