Hi there, I've been thinking I could probably re-organise my network to make it more efficient with potentially upgrading devices for more bandwidth. Today's Spark! is coming to you from my Camper! Have a great day, I know I will! Oh and Happy Sysadmin Day!Just a reminder, if you are reading the Spark!, Spice it Spark! Pro series – 29th July 2022 Spiceworks Originals.Is there a difference in EULA for the OEM license that prevents changing "bit depth" by reinstalling? I own a small computer consulting/repair business and want to make sure I'm telling my clients the right information. I used the 64-bit media twice (once with the key in the 64-bit package and once with the key in the 32-bit package) to install Windows 7 Ultimate on two of my business PCs without an issue.

We were told by the presenter that the keys were interchangable, that Windows 7 licensing didn't make a distinction between 32- and 64-bit media as long as the license key matched (i.e., Retail key to retail media or OEM key to OEM media). I received two NFR copies of Windows 7 Ultimate at the Chicago launch even back in 2009 - one 32-bit and one 64-bit. (We won't ask why he's ordering 64-bit machines with 32-bit OSes -) ) This seems a bit different than what John681 is doing by using an OEM key to install Retail media. Rather, he's asking if he can use an OEM 64-bit DVD to manually install the OS using the OEM license key affixed to the machine. The document you link defines "re-imaging" as "copying software to multiple devices using a standard image".ĭenis doesn't appear to be asking about re-imaging based on this definition.
