I have Win7 32, want 64

[acole1]

I accidentally ordered Win 7 Pro 32 OEM when I would like the x64 version. Will the media and/or license work for both?

Thanks!

In short, yes.

The Key works for either media

In long, what is the best way of going about this? Do I just need to download the x64 version from somewhere? If so, where would be the best place?

I ordered the home premium and got both discs in the box, 32 & 64.
Is that not typical?

This is the OEM version, so it only comes with one DVD.

Bump...

Still no real solution provided.

I had ordered the 32bit OEM by mistake as well from NE. I called NE customer service and they let me RMA it. Far as I know your choices are to keep it and use 32bit or send it back (if they let you) and buy the 64bit version. If they won't let you return it you could always just sell it on ebay or wherever to recoup your initial cost. Don't open the MS product package though or you will be stuck with it. Where did you buy your copy from?

Thanks! I bought the copy from CDW. I'll see if I can send it back and get 64bit.

Please be reminded that there is up "upgrade" from 32 to 64 bit - The 64 bit version will require a clean install.
