One of my computers got automatically upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 overnight. I wanted to upgrade it soon, but not today, because I need to have it running and available as it is.
Windows 10 now waits at initial EULA screen to accept/decline the EULA. When I decline now (so Windows 7 gets restored), will I be allowed to upgrade again?
I read somewhere that it did not work for someone, second time it went technically fine, but upgrade was rejected from licensing viewpoint.

@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – the problem was, it's far from English language :) – miroxlav – 2016-05-26T14:52:04.037
@miroxlav - So provide the link, and translate within the question body, what you read. – Ramhound – 2016-05-26T15:20:52.340
@Ramhound – thank you for your interest in the question. I already declined the EULA, reverted to Windows 7 and I'll add correct answer from the first hand later, once I upgrade (if someone who tried the same won't be faster). – miroxlav – 2016-05-26T16:25:14.490
1What you have done is simply revert back to Windows 7, the fact you didn't complete the WIndows 10 setup or agree to the EULA, doesn't change anything except for the fact your Windows 10 installation was activated. Which means you should have allowed the setup to finish then revert back, to avoid having to perform the upgrade again, to recieve the free upgrade. – Ramhound – 2016-05-26T16:38:34.480
@Ramhound – do you think it is probable that declining the EULA could have activated Windows 10 licence? From law viewpoint, it looks improbable... To me it looks more likely that the licence wasn't activated. Computer's networking was disabled when computer was at EULA screen (which was visible at network monitoring device) so no communication with the Microsoft was made. – miroxlav – 2016-05-26T18:28:13.003
I meant to actually say your installation wasn't* activated hence the reason you should have allowed it to finish then revert back. – Ramhound – 2016-05-26T20:28:33.210
