BF2S Forums Going from 32-bit 7 to 64-bit

If you got a legit key, it should work... 64 bit or 32 bit both use the same key.
I am using a 32 bit key from academic aliance with 64 bit win 7.

Might be a long shot but do they do a trial/evaluation copy?
One of the types you have to then go and buy and enter in a cd key for?

For an OS?  Sounds pretty dumb lol.

"You may use your computer for 60 days, after which we will render it completely useless you may re-install and continue another 60"

There are a handful of releases from XP and up with 180 day trials available for Microsoft product training.

Are you sure?  You might have a key that works with both but if he has an OEM x86 key it probably wouldnt work with x64.

Well, they said when they were releasing win 7 that it would come with the option to install 64 or 32 on the same disc, and I have the key from MSDNAA "Windows 7 Professional (x86) - DVD (English)" that I used to activate the 64 bit version I am using on my laptop....

Hmm, mine didnt work that way.  My x86 key didnt work for x64.  Maybe still the OEM thing.

Windows 7 comes with 2 discs. One for 32-bit, and the other for 64-bit. Both will work on the same product key given.

Thats retail, not OEM
