Rick, you stated that it is possible to reuse the key code to re-install (upgrade) to x64?

What about dual booting?? Am I able to use the same key? Is this possible or will I need to purchase another key??

.... Planning in advance ...

Anyone done this able to answer .. Thx

A license, or Product key, can be used for either 32 or 64 bit.

A retail key is generally only for one installation on one system. It does
not provide for two installations to the same system simultaneously. For
that you would need two licenses (either a second key or a purchased
additional license).
