Sorry for stacking! I didn't want this to go unnoticed.
Melia, I just thought of something. When you say your hubby has an extra copy of 64-bit Windows 7, do you mean the "extra" disk he had left when he installed the 32-bit Windows 7 on his computer? If that's the case, he DOES NOT have a copy of 64-bit Windows 7. When you get Windows 7, there are two disks provided and you can choose 32-bit or 64-bit. But there is only ONE operating system license. So if he installed 32-bit Windows 7 on his computer and activated the license, that license is already used and you cannot use that extra 64-bit disk on another computer.
Once again, weeds are my life!

Drac, I thought I'd butt in with a but A few years ago I bought a "Retail" version of Win 7 it came with two disc as you said one a 32bit the other a 64 bit. However the OS came with Three licenses. I put one on a new E-college I ordered without an Os, and one on a new similar E-college for my wife. That leaves me with yet a third computer to install this on. Another question even if this "Extra Disc" had one license as I understand it you can remove the 32 bit install and install the 64 bit on the same computer. The comment made regarding Melia's OS was not clear if this particular disc came with her computer of not.

I agree that it was all a bit unclear. If this was indeed an OS with 3 licenses, then she could use that 64-bit disk on her upgrade. But if these are single licenses, then there is no "extra" disk.
So, we just don't know for sure and I wanted to be sure they had the license they would need just in case. You explained it even better!

We have three licenses on the disc. We've only used two of them. But the DVD we have is an upgrade, not a clean install. We can't use it without reinstalling XP and going up from there. A pain and a half..

A pain and a half.. Read through the last thread in this post from the Microsoft forums - Clean Install of Windows 7 from a Windows 7 Upgrade disk?
