Question 1

is the product 64 bit?

Accepted Answer

With this sku \ product you get disks to install either the 32 bit or 64 bit version on your system.  Please keep in mind, this does not allow two simultaneous installations of the OS, only a single installation, but again, you can choose which architecture version to install.

Question 2

Can you assure me that this is NOT an OEM version of Windows 7 Professional? I will not buy an OEM version.

Accepted Answer

Look at the price difference between this version and the actual listed OEM version.  This is the operating system for the everyday user.  It includes both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions.

Question 3

Is this 64 bit or 32 bit?

Accepted Answer

Windows 7 Professional has both 64 bit and 32 bit installation discs

Question 4

DOES THIS HAVE BITLOCKER IN THIS VERSION?

Accepted Answer

No GEORGE C it does not, however, when entering the command "bitlocker" at run in the start menu Windows 7 directs you to its program "Encrypt File System" or EFS, Windows 7 Ultimate does contain the BitLocker application you are searching for though.

Question 5

How many computers can I load this on?

Accepted Answer

Hello there Randy,

From what i have read on the web the license allows using this product on one computer, but if you want to upgrade later to a new motherboard or whole new computer you are allowed to do this and use the same software.

So only one computer at a time.

However, you have a grace period to try it out on several computers i think it is 30 days.  Within that time you can see how it works with each computer.  Then when you decide which one you want to use it on, you "activate" the product with Microsoft, and once activated, it is tied to that one computer except of course for an upgrade as noted above.

Best of luck to you...

Question 6

is this the full version?

Accepted Answer

It is the full version. No restrictions regarding hardware that you get with OEM versions. So if you upgrade your PC, you can install it on the new PC. Provided, of course, that the old PC is retired so that you're only using the license on one PC.

Question 7

if i buy this product on ur site can i get a link to download the image via internet and also the key so that i can do it online and not wait for the CD to arrive?

Accepted Answer

The key is sealed inside the package so I'm guessing the answer is no.

Question 8

Is this windows 7 Pro OEM or retail and does it have both 32 & 64bit DVD's ?

Accepted Answer

Both disks. Comes with Windows 7 Professional 32 bit DVD and a            64 bit DVD.  One license that can be 32 or 64. I would choose 64 bit install if you have a 64 bit system.

Question 9

Where are the full retail versions? If you buy the OEM you can never upgrade your motherboard. EVER! I don't want to buy the cheap oem. I will pay more for the full version that I can re-install on a new system if needed. Don't give me that phone activation crap either. They will only activate it if you buy the same model motherboard.

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

I apologize if there are any problems that occur from only offering the OEM versions of Windows 7. The retail version is out of stock and may or may not be restocked. At this time we are only being supplied with OEM versions. This may be due to the push to promote Windows 8.

Thank you,
