Is there any reason that one could not revert to a previous OS (e.g. from a disk image) after installing the full release of Windows 10? It might be possible for MS to repartition the disk during installation, or to install a new file system that could not be read by the WinPE or Linux restore media.
Has anyone had experience, at least with the preview version, in doing a full restore? This is not exactly what is asked in Uninstall Windows 10 Tech Preview (reverting back to Windows 8.1), Uninstall Windows 10 Tech Preview... the question concerns a full disk restore.
Answer
Whilst you would almost certainly be able to restore the disk and run successfully, it is unlikely that the copy of Windows 8 will be correctly licensed and may well be treated as a pirate copy. The upgrade license is just that, I don't believe it will come with downgrade rights. The whole point is for MS to move as many people as possible to W10 and ditch W7/8
