Upgrade to Wins 10 twice ?

I upgraded to Wins 10 while ago, but now want to sell the machine as I have moved on to another machine, as this one had problems

The recovery sector will take it back to Win 7 which I want to do to start afresh

So my question is - will it be possible to upgrade to Wins 10 again on the same machine ????

Thanks

Interesting question. When you upgrade to Windows 10 from either Win 7/8, a folder is made which has all the old operating system files in it. It is called Windows.old. You have 30 days to revert back to the previous operating system, after 30 days the windows.old fold will sort of disappear, at least the files in it will.

So I am not sure if you revert back, then later upgrade again it may work. But if you don't revert back and just use the restore function, then I don't think you can upgrade again. Really not sure.

It is my understanding you (or the new owner anyway) will be able to upgrade again - at least until next July.

I was able to re-upgrade but used an iso disk.
