Hello,
I currently have a laptop with Windows 10 installed (OEM type product key). My BIOS is UEFI and my hard drive is in GPT mode. To install Windows 7 (32-bit version) I need to convert my hard drive to MBR, and for that I need to format my hard drive, including the Recovery partition.
My question is as follows: can I format the Recovery partition and then reinstall Windows 10 (and then Windows 7) without losing my product key?
Feel free to let me know if I haven't been very clear.
Thank you in advance.

Good evening
was your PC running Windows 7??
if it's a recent one with Windows 10 you won't be able to install Windows 7 because Windows 7 won't have the drivers.
Windows 7 managed AHCI disks (64 bit).

Hello,
To install Windows 7 (32-bit version) I need to convert my hard drive to MBR
That's not necessary at all.
The latest Microsoft ISOs support EFI and GPT mode.
But anyway, you're trying to install Windows 7 on a computer that originally runs Windows 10.
You don't have a license...

Hi, if I have a Retail license for Windows 7.
Regarding the partitions, does that mean I can install Windows 7 without converting anything?

Yes.
Deactivate the license on the other computer: https://www.malekal.com/licences-et-activation-de-windows/#Desactiver_la_licence_sur_lrsquoancien_ordinateur
1) Download the Windows ISO from the Adguard site, which allows you to download the official Microsoft ISOs: Download Windows installation ISOs
2) Create a Windows installation USB drive that will serve as the installation media for Windows 7: How to create a Windows installation USB drive
3) Boot from it by modifying the boot sequence and indicating the USB drive or DVD: How to boot the computer from a USB drive
The Windows 7 installation program will then start...
