Registration key for XP Pro 32 bit works on XP Pro 64 bit?

I just bought the version upgrade Win8 Pro and had installed XP Pro 32-bit. So the upgrade of the disk only let upgrade me to the 32-bit version of Win8. I have two disks for 32-bit and 64-bit XP Pro, editions of the full version, not OEM versions. The only key I've got (found) is one that has been installed on the 32-bit version. So in order to get the 64-bit version of Win8, will it work to install XP Pro 64 bit with key for the 32 bit and then upgrade to 64-bit Win Pro?

Thanks in advance.

It work but you may need to activate by phone from your product key 32 Bit has already be activated once.

  • Can I use my Vista 32 bit key for activate Vista 64-bit?

    I want to upgrade my Vista 32 bit OS to 64-bit. My computer came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit pre-installed but I want to run a 64-bit OS so I can enjoy the benefits as the increase in the capacity of RAM. If I can get a copy of a disk of Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I want to know if I can use my OEM key for activate Vista 64-bit, if I had to do a full clean install?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Yes, you can use the same key, but make sure that the installation is performed only once and a 32-bit parallel installation with the same key on other computer should not exist.
    You must perform a clean installation only and upgrade/downgrade cross-architecture (32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa) is not supported.
  • where can I find my registration key for Vista Edition basic family

    Where can I find my registration key for Vista Edition basic family

    'Product Key' is probably what you mean.

    You buy it in a store by itself (Windows Vista Home Basic which is) or is it installed on your computer?

    If you bought autonomous - it is the case of DVD that the DVD is in.  If it came pre-installed, it is on a sticker pasted on your machine.

    Hello Gloria
    I installed Windows 7 on my computer sony vaio ns notebook series. FN/F5 and F6/Fn keys for brightness adjustment, do not work. In the previous installation of Vista, they worked without problem.
    adjusting keys for his work, but not show the cursor on the desktop.

    Thank you... :-)

    Run Windows Update.  It is good for the installation of device drivers that have not been found during the installation of Windows 7.

    If that doesn't fix it, you may download and install the device drivers for your computer from Sony model.

  • Registration key for the new installation of Windows 8

    I had to reinstall my Windows 8. I bought two copies way back for $40 each and have the registration code for both sent to me by Microsoft in an e-mail message. The first I tried to use it says it had expired? The other, they said it was used on another PC. Well, it had been used on the machine I had to re - install on. I have been authorized to install with this key, but I figured once again, that it is used on another computer.

    They suggest that, if this is the reason why, contact them by phone by giving Installation ID. I live in Thailand and not to use the phones as rather deaf at the age of 80 years and have no idea of what is Installation ID.

    I'm really just a question if there is any other way I can give MS the information they need, such as electronic mail. Tell them that it is in the same PC?

    Any help to clarify this and give me an honest man once again, very much appreciated.

  • Please I need product key for my photoshop cs6, I work in trial mode and now it has expired

    Please I need product key for my photoshop cs6

    Fear the idea is that you test the software and if you make a purchase. Photoshop is not freeware. If someone were to give you a product key that would be software piracy. It would also be a very stupid thing to do because if you put CS6 on more than one machine their copy may stop working. If you don't handle Photoshop take a glance to GIMP running on Linux, OSX and Windows

  • Product key for Microsoft Office does not work

    Hey.  The product key at the bottom of my laptop does not for my Microsoft Office 2007 check my license.  I had the computer over a year when I first tried the product key and I was wondering if he could have expired or something.  The message I get actually says it's an invalid product key.  Any help I could get with this would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Office/offers/default.mspx

    The product key on the bottom of your laptop isn't for Vista, Office 2007.

    You'd have a trial version of Office 2007 pre-installed on your laptop.

    To continue to use Office, you can buy licensed copy of it.
