I am soon going to upgrade my PC by giving it a new motherboard and new RAM.
Since I am going to be upgrading to somewhere between 4 and 8 GB of RAM, I am aware that I will need to use a 64 bit OS to actually make the RAM upgrade worthwhile, as otherwise it'll only recognize 4GB (with only 3.4GB being usable). I have the retail version of Windows 7 home premium on my PC (and am currently using the 32 bit OS).
When I uninstall the 32 bit OS, does the license code for windows 7 (on the box) automatically become usable again, or do I have to do something first to make it recognize that I'm not actually using the 32 bit OS anymore?
