Windows 7 serial code 32/64-bit compatability
Posted by broseOct 11
Just got done testing Windows 7 in a KVM with no NIC installed (didn’t want to activate the serial I got from MSDNAA just yet), and as it turns out, the 32-bit serial key for Windows 7 is valid for the 64-bit install! Awesomesauce. So essentially, for all those with an MSDNAA account, you can actually get two legal copies of Windows 7.
I still don’t think I’ll ever install Windows on my computers for anything other than some gaming, but this could be some very big news for many people. Enjoy.

For the stevens MSDNAA accounts, you can also put in a ticket for additional keys.
