Sure you can. What I always do before upgrading the OS is to make sure to have a full system image backup. If you don't like the new OS, or worse, encounter issues, just restore the old one from the image. End of life support ends in 2023 for WIN 8.1, 2020 for WIN 7. Free updates end for WIN 10 on 2025.
Just to be the devil's advocate here. What if, when you use the free upgrade to W10, your COA is automatically registered as 10. When you are fed up and re-image your original, MS's servers may well flag as not genuine. Just a thought but worth checking into before a change. :E
