When installing Windows 7 or Vista, does the language, version, architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) or source (OEM, retail, or MSDN) matter?
I've purchased a retail license of Windows 7 Ultimate for my machine at home.
I'm thinking of creating a dual-boot install:
- 64-bit install for work apps (need the RAM for virtual machines and RAMDisk)
- 32-bit install for entertainment apps (Media Centre, games, etc)
How does retail licensing work in such situations?
Can I activate the same license on both installations?
Edit:
I would like to add that I want to have separate partitions for work and play.
