    hi everybody,

    I'm currently studying in France and there's an offer for buying win7 professional (in french) at 35 euros.

    So, my question is: can I download an english version from Microsoft Digital River and use the serial number given to me by the french site?

    I'm 99% sure I can do it, but I'd like to hear some thoughts.

    Also, will this license number work with both 32 and 64-bit versions?

    Thanks in advance!

    It's a retail copy, so the license works for both 32 and 64bits, and it is transferable.

    And yes, you can use the serial number on any language of Windows 7
