Already done and dusted, id NEVER get any copy of windows from a torrent site.its so dodgy.

 

Which version of windows?

Ok, this is how it is:

With Vista: All the discs are the same. So you just need an x64 disc and an x86 disc. You can use any key with these disc, and the key determines the version installed. Also there are no x64 and x86 keys. Any key can be used to install either the x86 or x64 version. This disc you use determines if the x86 or x64 version is installed. This, AFAIK, can't be combined into one disc.

With Windows 7: The original discs are locked to install only one version(Home Premium, Professional, Ultimiate, etc.). However, there is a simple way to unlock the disc so it can be used to install any version, just like Vista. The instructions can be found here. Again, the same rules apply about x64 and x86.

Also, there are no longer OEM and Retail discs. Any disc can be used with a Retail or OEM licence.

So in total you only really need 4 discs. Vista x86, Vista x64, Win7 x86, and Win7 x64 and you can re-install using any key.
