Hi, I purchased two copies of vista, one 64 and one 32. The 32 bit was installed on a different machine and the 64 bit on my own. Since then I have found 64 bit to be rather incompatible with my needs. I am wondering if I can reformat my computer with 64 bit on it, then install the 32 bit software on it using the 64 bit product key so I don't use the same key twice. Since I only have OEM, I am wondering if my 64 bit key would be compatible with a 32 bit copy of Vista. Anyone know? Thanks |

If you mean OEM software as in software that you purchased that was labeled as OEM then yes you can, and Nonny is completely wrong. If you mean OEM software as in software provided by Gateway, Dell, etc. then no you cannot as the keys that they provide are "dead" keys.

How did you obtain the OEM software? If you purchased OEM packs from someplace like NewEgg for your own use then be aware that the OEM (System Builder) License is only for installing the software on a computer for sale to a customer.

If it is from some vendor, Dell, HP, etc, use this: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=144783 The key provided on the computer is "fake" in that it has never been used. Instead, vendors use two special files to license and activate your copy of Vista. This procedure will simply move those two files to your re-install of a different bitness. It still has the be the same machine since those files are tied to that machine.

I think you've jumped to a wrong conclusion. He bought two copies of Vista (first sentence.) Given a modicum of respect to the user, I would contend this is two separate copies (two different product keys) since they are OEM. Not even Ultimate is sold with both disks if OEM. That stated: the OP is attempting to change the bitness of one device using the proper product key assigned to it. This should not be a problem since the copy of vista is not unique. It's the product key that is unique. The process will work as long as the OEM disks are not actually "recovery disks."
