Windows 7: OEM Licence Question

OEM Licence Question

So, my friend recently acquired a MSI A6200 laptop with a Core i3 and 4GB of RAM. Also, it's second hand. It came with Windows 7 HP x86 installed and has an original Windows sticker with a product code.



Can I use this code to format and install Windows 7 HP x64 or it's locked to x86?

Thanks in advance!

On the same machine , same motherboard, you can activate both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of windows 7 home premium using the OEM product key.

For more information on how to reinstall to a factory OEM, you may have a look at Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 .
