I'm really busy at work so haven't spent too long looking to see if this question has been asked/answered before. If it has, please link and I'll be full of remorse for a suitable period!
My issue is thus: I've installed Win7 Home Premium x64 on my new HTPC build. Everything works fine so far ...BUT... my Linksys WMP54G v4 PCI wifi card does not have any 64bit drivers either via windows update or Linksys themselves. (Their customers are not happy about this unsurprisingly!)
Also reading elsewhere some codec packs/addons don't have 64bit versions so It's looking more likely I'll have to install the 32bit flavour of Win7 instead. (which does have [badly working] Linksys drivers available apparently.)
So my burning question is this: If I activate my retail copy of Win7 in 32bit form, can I at a later date install Win7 64bit and activate it using my original product key? Or does the first activation tie me to that version (32bit/64bit)?
