you need to find Windows 7 pro media and key to install the OS you want. So am I reading this right that I can take a Win8Pro 圆4 down to Win7Pro x86 with no problems with the Win8Pro product key slapped on the case? so this client is not a VL customer, so that option is out. This is stated on the OEM System Builder website under downgrade rights for Windows software. If they are a VL customer, then they should use that media/key. Technically the end user can use any previously legal copy of Windows 7 Pro (OEM/FPP) to install Windows 7 Pro (32 or 64 bit). Most OEMs will sell you just the media for Windows 7 and you should be able to use that media and your existing COA/product key to activate Windows 7 Pro 32 bit.Īnd if HP, they normally include all three disk with Pro systems.īut what I missed in the OP was the main point that this is an OEM Windows 8.1 Pro OS license - downgraded to Windows 7 Pro. The OEM is not responsible for providing you with the other version of the OS. So what this means is, the OEM Windows 7 Pro license provides rights to both 32/64 bit - but the customer may only use one version at a time. If the manufacturer or installer provides you with a one-time selection between language versions, you may use only the one language version you select. You may use only one version at one time.
The software may include more than one version, such as 32-bit and 64-bit. Per the OEM Windows 7 Pro EULA - this is the only part in it that provides the info in the EULA on 32/64 bit rights:
