Hey all
I ordered an OEM copy of Windows 7 Pro x64 for a friend. I'm going to put it on his Sony Vaio TZ laptop when it arrives. I was thinking there'd be no problems with 64-bit since I've been running Vista 64 for 2 years with no hassle, but when I did a bit more looking it turns out it's fairly tough to get everything running on the TZ with a 64-bit OS. So I'd prefer to put 32-bit on initially anyway just to make sure 7 runs ok on the laptop.
Is the OEM licence valid for both 32 and 64-bit versions of 7? From the Windows licensing thread is sounds like it is for Vista, I just want to check if this is the same with 7. And can I download an ISO image of the 32 bit version and use that with the product key from the 64-bit case? I'm currently downloading Do not link to pirated software! which claims to be an untouched Microsoft image.
Thanks
