Can I use prior versions of Windows on a device running a newer version?
我可以在執行較新版本的裝置上使用舊版 Windows 嗎？
To use prior versions of Windows on devices currently running a newer version, it is possible for customers to obtain a license for downgrade rights. These downgrade rights will vary depending on whether the software was acquired via Volume Licensing, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or Full Packaged Product (FPP). To learn more about these rights, review the downgrade rights licensing brief. Prior versions of Windows have limited support when running on new processors and chipsets from manufacturers like Intel, AMD, NVidia, and Qualcomm. For more information, please see Microsoft Lifecycle Policy. A device may not be able to run prior versions of Windows if the device hardware is incompatible, lacks current drivers, or is otherwise outside of the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) support period.
若要在目前執行較新 Windows 版本的裝置上使用舊版，客戶可以取得降級權限的授權。 軟體可以透過大量授權、原始設備製造商 (OEM)，或完整包裝產品 (FPP) 取得，而這些降級權限會因取得方式而異。 若要深入了解這些權利，請檢閱降級權限授權簡介。 在 Intel、AMD、NVidia 和 Qualcomm 等製造商的新處理器和晶片組上，執行舊版 Windows 時，可提供的支援有限。 如需詳細資訊，請參閱 Microsoft 週期原則。 如果裝置硬體不相容、缺少最新的驅動程式，或不在原始設備製造商 (OEM) 支援期限內，裝置可能無法執行舊版 Windows。
