Reinstalling Win7 Pro 32 Bit OEM on a Different PC
Hi Guys,
I mistakenly purchased a 32 bit version of windows 7 pro which was on OEM. Now I am going to purchase the 64 bit version OEM software again and format my hard drive and reinstall the 64 bit OS on my PC.
My question is now that I will be using the 64 Bit version, can I re-use my 32 bit OEM on a completely different PC as it will no longer be installed on my PC?
If so do I have to uninstall it first or will a simple wipe off the hard drive deactivate the 32 bit key?
Also is there a cheaper option to purchasing the OEM software again, such as upgrading from 32bit to 64bit?
