Looking to download Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Long story short:

Bought Windows 7 professional off of Amazon, from TigerDirect for cheap. Later they sent me an email stating it was the OEM version, but that I need not worry. Package arrives, I open it up to find out that it's ONLY the 32-bit disk, although I would have no way of knowing before opening it. But since I did open it, I can't directly return it, since I've seen the code and whatnot. So, before I go through whatever arduous journey this refund process might be, I want to see if I can get an image of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and install it using the code supplied with the OEM disk.

So, anyone know how I could do this, (hopefully) legally? Note that this is the full version, not the upgrade. Thanks!

I am not sure that you can use the 32-bit key for a 64-bit OS even if you can find a place to download the ISO. Talk to friends and relatives for a 64-bit disk?

cheers ...

OEM keys are locked to the specific version. with Vista you could order a 64-bit version of the disc when you just had the 32-bit version (their alternate media page), but I'm not seeing one for 7. try calling them up and see what they say
