I just bought a Windows 7 Professional from my university but they gave me a disc and a set of instructions.
They told me that it was an upgrade version and that I could still install and and fiddle around with some registry stuff to fully activate it.
Is this true or are they just scamming me???
If they're giving me an upgrade disc, does it still fully install EVERYTHING that a normal disc does?
Or does it depend on the key and not the disc.
The guy at the store told me that all the discs actually carry and install the full version of windows and it's only the product key that is the difference. (But he seemed like a sketchy person so I don't know whether to believe him or not)
*What determines whether 32 or 64 bit is installed? The actual CD or the product key?
