Product key for 64 bit not working
Hi everyone, new to tech stuff, new poster.
I had 32bit home premium, HDD fried, reinstalled ISO and made the mistake of getting another 32bit, wanted 64 as my pc is more than capable of handling it and i heard that as long as it is not OEM and the same version (home premium 32 and 64) that i can use the same key.
I used it again on the second 32bit. I wiped my HDD and got the iso for 64bit, and my key is not working for me.
Am I screwed, or can I call MS and do something to save me from another purchase? I tried reinstalling 32bit and got invalid key again as well. So now i am doing another HDD wipe with DBAN and just going with 64.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
This is a custom built PC and I bought win7 from newegg, so it isn't a bootleg copy. I have the sticker on my PC (thank god i remembered to put it there).
