krustylicious Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 The x32 and x64 keys are interchanable. - ie the same x32 key will work in either the 32bit install or the 64bit install. Same goes for the x64 bit keys Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/89/#findComment-590393622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

krustylicious Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Steven77 if you have a x64 key - you do not need another key. It will work on a 32bit install.

SuperStu Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Does someone have an unused 32 to trade for an unused 64? Why trade? The 32bit key works in the 64bit version and vice versa.

krustylicious Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 for those who missed the link or need the instructions Step 1 : Logon to http://technet.microsoft.com (click on Sign in in the upper right corner) Step 2 : Copy (Don?t CLICK IT!) one of the links below to the address bar and press enter : 32-Bit key : https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/sc...w&LCID=1033 (don?t click, Copy and Paste!) 64-bit key : https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/sc...w&LCID=1033 (don?t click, Copy and Paste!) The 64bit key at the moment is the faster route and will work in a 32bit install. step 3 - you will either get a page with the key on it or a technical difficulties page Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/89/#findComment-590393668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven77 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Why trade? The 32bit key works in the 64bit version and vice versa. Probably thinking too far ahead....but you know how the vista rc keys worked for the first few w7 milestones???? I dont want to just have a 64 bit key and then w8 comes out and i have a 32 bit operating system that it's not compatible with like it is w/ w7. Hey i think of everything what can i say.

Crazysah Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 So? Does anyone know if all the 2.5 Million keys have gone? Thanks for your interest in the Windows 7 Beta. The volume has been phenomenal -- we?re in the process of adding more servers to handle the demand. We?re sorry for the delay and we?ll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience.

We?re sorry for the delay and we?ll re-post the Beta as soon as we can ensure a quality download experience. They're not gone as people are still getting them... People have just found the trick to get the keys... If you follow the instructions and get to the http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ page, you've messed something up and might want to clear your temporary internet settings and stuff like that before you try again. Either following the blog post or neowin frontpage new news post will work It takes some time for some people, while other people are lucky and get it really quickly Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/89/#findComment-590393702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 this is rediculous, MS hasn't even officially opened the public beta yet and if they delay any longer the keys will be gone before they even open it!
