Also, in other news my new 2GB RAM is faulty so I'm currently running Windows 7 64-bit whilst I RMA the dodgy RAM! :lol: | |

I was under the impression a Retail/MAK/KMS key activates a certain version of 7, 32 bit or 64 bit! | |

I tried to install Windows 7 from my DVD but the one I've got is "Ultimate". | |

It wont ask you for the serial key, because it will use Windows Activation Technologies (WAT) to activate once installed. Funnily enough, you can download something called "WAT Remover" to ditch this process. | |

The disc I have lets me choose whatever version of 7 I want, but I don't think it ever asked me for a licence key from what I remember. | |

Maybe, maybe not, I've never confirmed for sure, I've had hits and misses. | |

Ed is correct, the key on the bottom of the laptop won't work with anything but a samsung oem disc though. | |

I think the serial numbers are only linked to the edition you're installing rather than if it's x86 or x64. Though I only have experience of doing this with Windows Vista and MSDN Windows 7 serial numbers. | |

I just upgraded my laptop from 2GB to 4GB, of course Windows will only see 3GB of this memory due to the installation being 32-bit. |
