win 7 ultimate 64 bit
Dont suppose anyone got a win 7 64 bit activation product key going cheap?
I can get 32 bit going on dell laptop but installing 64 bit version it wont play ball.
Just to clarify.
I have dell cd for win 7 ult 32 bit, this installs fine and does not ask for product key presumably dell cd for dell laptop.
Last night made a bootable usb and intalled win 7 ult 64 on a drive and pretty sure my existing key was ok. It may that there already was win 7
installred, wad a used drive and i did notice there were 3 windows folders, two of which were my installs - i did not remove usb when laptop
rebooted.
Today i formatted the hd and cannot get the prod key to work.

I've just been through a very similar experience, I bought a key off ebay in Germany for 10 euros and it was a digital delivery,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Windows-7-Ultimate-Win-32-64-Bit-OEM-Product-Key-Versand-per-Postbrief-/291470300950?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item43d

Maybe something like that would work.
They generally come with a link to the iso so you can make a bootable disk, if it is ultimate even if you install in German you can change in the
control panel because it is ultimate

Not sure if it differs for ultimate, but my ebay purchased Win 7 Pro license was for 32 and 64, you just choose your install file as 32 or 64 and used
the key.
However mine was a fresh install of a never used license.
Assuming you have used the key for a 32 bit install already you may need to deactivate the old one.
Google reveals this:
Click Start, type: CMD
Right click CMD
Click Run as administrator
At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs -upk
Hit Enter, this will uninstall the product key from the computer and set it back to trial mode, you are now free to use it on another computer.

Maybe a daft question but is your hardware 64bit compatible?

No daft at all. Yes, laptop is 64 bit comoatibke and i hadgot win 7 64 bit installed after installing win 7 32 bit.... but wanted to regain the disk
space by formatting and installing 64 bit .... which i now am regetting doing.
I dont understand why i could install it previously using the same product key but not now.
