You'd need to have a completely new Product Key to do a clean install since they never offered an "upgrade" version of Windows to just bump the architecture level.Support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020 The "switch" aspect there in that graphic means upgrading a 32-bit installation to a 64-bit installation of the same exact OS on the same hardware - it can't be done because once you've activated the Product Key for the 32-bit version, Microsoft won't accept or grant a second activation for the same Product Key, that's all that means. OEM vs Retail has nothing to do with it in any way, shape, or form either. You can in some instances call Microsoft and they'll issue a new Product Key in some instances aka the famous "white lie" one that so many people use by calling in and saying "my motherboard fried because of a bad power supply so I have to reinstall Windows, I need a new Product Key for my Retail licensed copy." or words to that effect.Īfter nearly 9 years of this since Windows Vista came out in January 2007 I'm absolutely astonished that people still don't grasp this particular fact: it doesn't matter if you want to install a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Windows - any edition - the Product Key supplied with the media works for either architecture.
If you install the 32-bit version and activate it then later on decide "No, I'd rather have the 64-bit version." you can't just clean install (since you can't do an architecture upgrade) the 64-bit version with the same Product Key because that Product Key has already been activated - it's a one-shot deal. The issue most folks miss is that once you activate that Product Key for either architecture, that's it - it's been activated one time and that's that.

You get one Product Key per license and that Product Key can be used to install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows (whichever edition) that it's been generated for. For Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, and Windows 10, there is one simple fact: the Product Key doesn't give a shit about the architecture of Windows being installed meaning 32-bit vs 64-bit.Ī Product Key for any of those operating systems is a Product Key, period, and can be used for either architecture meaning 32-bit or 64-bit.
