Hi,
I got a copy of Windows 7 32 bit yesterday and didnt relize it wasnt a 64 bit. took it home opened it, installed it.. damn. now what im wondering is if i download a windows 7 64 bit .ISO can i use my 32 bit registration key on the 64 bit version? please someone let me know.
Where did you buy it? The retail is supposed to include both 32 and 64 bit versions.
The key works for both versions.
I attended a microsoft Windows IT confrence and got a free a copy of 32 bit only.
yeah i think it will work...I bought a retail version of home premium and got two discs in the box one 32bit and the other 64bit and one licence key so I guess I can use that key for both discs :)
Good to know if I do decide to go 64 bit in the next few years :)
The keys do not distinguish between 32 or 64 bit. You can use the key you received at the Microsoft conference with a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and it will work fine.
TechNet or MSDN - one of the folks you attended the conference with will probably have a subscription.
Eventually there will be a program similar to this one for Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...a/default.mspx
