    Remember to uncheck activate immediatley during your install . Don`t activate until your happy with your install. You can only use retail keys 1 time.

    And definetly put W7 on your 1st partition. Make your partitions up when you install W7.

    Let's clarify this; 1 retail key can only be activated on 1 machine at a time

    One sec, your school doesn't support x86-64? Why not? Most 32-bit software works fine on 64-bit. Otherwise, virtualize 7 32-bit.

    What do you mean, At A Time ? Once the key is activated that`s it. Unless I`m missing something here.

    Win7 retail Product Key can be activated as many times as you wish and migrate freely to the machine of your choice, as long as it is on only one machine at a time.

    Most reinstalls on same hardware will activate on the internet. If you change hardware, there can be a robocall which trades numbers which deactivate on the old hardware and activate the new.

    Only OEM versions cannot be migrated to other hardware, although they can be reinstalled as often as you like. Some have reported MS has made exceptions to allow Builder's OEM to migrate to other hardware during the in-person phone activation option.
