    Curious..

    I'm seeing shipping information (address) on my invoice, yet there are electronic downloads that will be available apparently in a few hours? Will I be able to download Win7 directly? How do they know what product key to ship? Can someone clarify for me please - thanks.

    One .exe file and 2 setup.box files. I should find a way to run the upgrade from 32-bit Vista to 64-bit Win 7.

    I'm downloading... but I can't find my product key anywhere. I used a friend's email address to order so it may have been sent via email - I'll only know tomorrow. The site says it should be on the "confirmation page" where I download, but it's not.


    Anyone know where it is?


    Also... dammit! I accidentally bought 32bit when I shoulda bought 64bit. I hope they respond to my email with some help.

    Read over the email you received to download again.

    The product key should be in there.

    Amazon will ship your DVD's soon. They don't offer downloads. I had canceled my amazon pre-order believing in the student offer. But now it's more work converting the stupid MS downloaded files in to a bootable DVD.
