Not entirely sure, but that may be the case. The timeframe to revert is 30 days which would suggest to me that the license is indeed converted and you have 30 days to revert it back. As far as I am aware the way you revert it back is in settings -> update and recovery. This however uses Windows.old.
Windows.old however isn't bound by the 30 days and is there available to use until you choose to delete it - or until a cleaning tool removes it.
That is a potential issue with cleaning tools. All that can natively be done in windows without a tool and quite often it'll warn you about stuff like this - whereas cleaning tools don't always warn you.

And thus RebelKnight reminds us of a valuable lesson; before you go diving head-first into the deep end of the pool, make sure there is some water in it.
And that you can swim.

I didn't get a choice in the switch, but windows 10 is part of this new bloody annoying "lets remove/hide/force as many settings as possible" trend with interfaces and applications ever since touchscreens took over. I can't customise the start menu beyond some superficial stuff (which is annoying because the search baar takes up a third of the screen), and options for changing the display of icons (details, list, large/small icons etc) only turns up on specific occasions.
The attempt to simplify the interface by making everything these solid blocks of colour is completely counterproductive. I can't tell where boundaries are, and the taskbar icons are blurry and shrunken to the point where the printer icon is the same size as the Microsoft Word icon several hundred pixels to the left.
The fact that the backgrounds to all these windows are pure white is annoying to say the least. I can't see a darn thang without turning the brightness down or something.
Maybe i just haven't found the options for these and other "features", but it's stupid that windows followed apple in the ugly "clean and homogenous" bandwagon of iOS 7. You can just about get away with it on a mobile device screen, but on a PC it's confusing to look at.

Right click on the taskbar, hover over search (or Cortana) and select the appropriate option.
You can also remove all the apps and shortcuts from the start menu and resize it so that space isn't there, or just use that space for your desktop shortcuts.
Do you happen to have a very high res screen, like 4k? You might be having trouble with dpi if that's the case. Either that or you have it set to use small icons on the taskbar.
