    Hi all,

    Does the Win7 upgrade kit support a fresh install or just upgrading the current Vista installation?

    Does anyone know if I can activate a Win7 64 bit using a Win7 32 bit activation key?

    Thanks

    It supports a fresh/clean install. I installed on an E4300 at work to test it out. Oddly, the 64-bit key wouldnt activate on the 64-bit OS; used the 32-bit key and it worked.

    Thanks!
    Do you know if the upgrade kit supports both 32 and 64 bit installations?

    As far as I know, no. I used two seperate machines to order the kit - one 32-bit, and one 64-bit.
