Use downloaded Win7 KEY with different Disc

[jbourne84]

I have a copy of the windows 7 home premium upgrade, the one that comes with a 64-bit and 32-bit disc

but i have 2 PCs, so i also bought the student upgrade (home premium 64-bit), which i downloaded. They gave a CD key in an email.
but it turns out theres all sorts of issues with the downloaded files.

Could i use the disc i have and just type my student upgrade CD key?

You can use the disc as much as you want but will need the separate CD keys for each computer.

The problem people are having with the download of the 64 bit version student download is as I understand it, the dowload is an .EXE file which won't run on a 32 bit system.
I can't see any reason why couldn't use the 64 bit disk with your key for the downloaded upgrade, assuming this in fact is a seperate key, from that which came with the disks.
