Will an OEM Windows 7 Upgrade key work and activate with an OEM Full version disc?
I want to buy a used, (but not being used anymore) OEM upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium, which is very cheap as it doesn't come with the 64bit DVD. I ideally need 64bit though, but as a 64bit W7 Home Premium OEM Upgrade DVD is very hard to find, can I buy a 64bit (full version) OEM home premium DVD alone, and then use it with with the Upgrade key? Will it activate or even accept the key? I've heard that all the Windows Vista/7 discs are identical apart from the face and the supplied product key, but I'm not sure. I will be upgrading it from Windows Vista, by the way.
A quick answer would be highly appreciated, as I need to know whether to buy it ASAP. Thanks very much for looking! :)

A full version key is for a full version dvd and a upgrade key is for an upgrade dvd, you cannot use an upgrade key with a full dvd version or a full dvd key with a upgrade dvd version.
Also in relation to the licenses, a serial key only works in more than one PC if the license accepts that the software can be use in more than one machine.
Beware with licenses: if the software was already use and if the license is for only one PC, the activation process wont work and you can end up rendering your PC unbootable.
