win 7 & mobo
I installed Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit) on my computer soon after it came out, having built the rig myself, so it can't be an OEM. On the box it says "for use on one computer," and the box contained two DVDs for the different "bits," (i.e. 32 and 64), together with the liscence keys.
While I realize that I can reinstall it on this computer should it ever be necessary I do have a question.
If I need to replace the mobo, or even build another rig, can I install the OS on the new mobo, or new rig? And can I use the 64-bit version instead?
OR, will I have to buy Win 7 all over again?
Currently, what I bought is the full retail version. It came in a plastic box with 2 separate DVDs, one for each bit size. But it only had one liscence key - to be used for either version
Thanks, and sorry if I've posted in the wrong section.
