Same old 32/64 pre-install questions
Hey folks.. I may be covering some old ground here, but I haven't quite found the answer I was looking for so here goes:
I'm currently running a WinXP 32 bit/WinVista 64 bit dual boot on a Gateway FX 6000. I have to do this since a program I run for business (Pro Tools) won't run at all in the 64 bit OS that was pre-loaded with the PC. This setup also allows me to keep my business and gaming stuff separate. Each OS is on it's own Hard Drive, no boot.ini type stuff to worry about since Gateway has a handy boot selector hotkeyed on the BIOS. I now will be getting Win7 soon and would like to blow out both XP and Vista in favor of a Win7 32/64 dual boot. Will MSFT let me do that without an extra license? Can I buy extra licenses?
