You got bad information. You can ALWAYS go back to the OS that shipped with your system - ALWAYS (presuming you made the ERD). You also have 30 days from the time you install 10 to cycle back (and maybe even save the directory to USB and you have as long as you want).
The terms are no different than they were for 7 and 8...If you buy 10 you can legally install Windows 95 if you want (and have the media). For those on 7...look at the system, you will see a license number sticker. You can ALWAYS go back to that - period. 8 had no sticker as the license is build into the system itself.
