Windows 10: Is the Windows product key concerned with 32 or 64 bit of Windows or will the key activate...

Is the Windows product key concerned with 32 or 64 bit of Windows or will the key activate either? In other words is the key specific to 32bit or 64bit version of, for instance, Windows 10 Pro?

Windows 7 32 bit key valid for 64 bit?

When i ordered Windows 7 when it first came out, it came with both the 32-bit and 64-bit DVDs and one serial. I do not really know if this helps your situation, however, I think that a single key would work for 64-bit and 32-bit as long as it is the same version of Windows (eg. Home Premium).

 

Windows 7 32 bit key valid for 64 bit?

That's correct, the Home Edition family pack (3 user) I bought was $99 on Amazon a few weeks ago. It comes with a 32 and a 64 bit disk and one serial number.

 

Is a product key for 32 bit Windows compatible for 64-bit Windows?

Yes, that should work.

In previous versions of Windows, the product key would work for either the 32-bit or 64-bit version and there is no indication yet that this has changed.

Ultimately, what Microsoft care about is that you have a legitimate key.

The specifications you listed will work with Windows 10 to the best of my knowledge.

Edit:
I just found this article describing the process:

Since you have already upgraded to Windows 10, you should check that it is activated and you have signed into a Microsoft account.

From there, you should be able to follow the rest of the instructions, mainly downloading Windows 10 Pro 64-bit to bootable media and doing a clean install.
