Windows 7 x32 or x64
Hi everybody,
my hardware is capable of running both versions of 7
I would like to order "Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade" available as download from MS website.
I would not like to commit myself to 64bit version of 7 and in case of disappointment go for 32bit.
Will the key from x64 "upgrade" work on x32 "upgrade" and the other way around?

Yes, the key will work for both 32 and 64bit versions of Upgrade... as long as they are the same edition...
-
The physical retail Upgrade DVD comes with 2 discs, 32-bit and a 64-bit.

Similar question: can I install 32-bit "over" 64-bit?
Hope somebody can help me. I've just bought a new computer with Win 7 Pro 64-bit installed. I have the OEM disk (64-bit).
I now find that W-7/Vista 64-bit drivers are not available for some of my hardware (in particular my Dell 2405FPW monitor and Philips Voip321 Dualphone). I want to "downgrade" to the 32-bit version.
I have a 32-bit disk available and if I understand correctly from reading other posts my 64-bit Licence Key# can be used for either version. Is this correct?
My next question: can I install the 32-bit version "over" the 64-bit version or do I have to do another clean install and re-install all my other software?
One more question: if I change my mind again, and want to revert to the 64-bit version, can I reverse the process ... i.e. install the 64-bit version over the 32-bit version?
I'll be grateful for some expert advice.
