I bought this in the pre-order.

Can I install the 32bit on this PC, and install the other 64bit on my gaming PC?

Or do you need two codes?

you would need two codes as far as i know.

You need two copies.

Indeed. People need to realise you only purchased a single licence. You are then given the media to allow either 64bit or 32bit.

Thought so.

1 licence per PC to run 1 CPU so if you want 2 then buy new licence to run other PC -- the retail box that MS put 32 and 64 that give you to choose which one to install not by 2 install at same time.

all Windows OS are only per PC with 1 product code key for check all hardwares before accept by activation. You can upgrade any new motherboard,etc.. and reactivation again as retail version can let you

Can you buy a cd key on its own so you can install W7 on a 2nd pc/laptop, or do you have to buy the whole thing again?

The "Family Pack" gets around this as you get 3 licenses.

Is the family pack priced and or available yet, and will it be an oem style pack or a retail style pack allowing for future upgrades?
