It never seemed to matter before.. Dell machine Dell oem disk no activation needed but this time I'm getting a count down telling me I need to activate and the oem key isn't valid. I tried the install twice with same results. I did update to the latest bios. The only thing I can think of is the win7 disk is 64 bit and I think this model only came in 32 bit. Any help is appreciated. Please pardon me if the topic is not appropiate.
