Is my Win7 home Premium OEM product key both 32 & 64 bit?

Hi.
I have an OEM Windows 7 home premium on my laptop. It came on a partition. I have just ordered an upgrade of ram from 3 to now 8 gigs. However I need to have Windows in 64 bit for it to recognize the 8 gigs. So I will format and reinstall the OEM windows. I just did a scan of my computer to retrieve my product key for Windows but as I want to get rid of the partition and do a full format I need to download a copy of Windows 7 Premium OEM and install it from a disk or usb with my own product key.

So my question is . . . . . will my product key allow me to install 64 bit Windows premium OEM?

Short answer, yes. You can use your COA (key) for 32 or 64 bit.

Yes, You can, but it depends on whether the windows Disk version is formatted to 64-Bit. It is unlikley they won't be 64-Bits, seeming as 32-bits are going out of date..
