Can I use an Win7 Business code for Win7 home?

[dkkruse]

I bought a used laptop via CL, but I didn't realize until later that it was 32 bit. :-/
I want to add RAM and Maybe an SSD, can I use my Win Home Premium install disk for a 64 bit install and use the activation code from the Win7 Business Premium to get things going? It's not like I'm robbing them of an activated OS or anything. I just want to know if the code will work, or if I will be stuck having to buy an activation code. I can't do Win8 yet due to some compatibility issues with some recording hardware I use...

Thanks

No, but if you can get a hold of Business64 media, you could install that.

Yeah, I was afraid that would be the case. Thanks.

Did you mean Windows 7 Enterprise? There are links to the official ISOs here. I think that with an activation code everything's legit and you're in business.
