Ok. One friend got **** disk 64-bit Win8 & installed. He liked Win8 so he went & bought genuine for laptop which was having Win7 OEM 32-bit 3 GB-Ram. 1 GB RAM failed so he got new 2 GB Ram. so total now is 2+2=4 GB Ram. But Win8 downloaded is 32-bit & is not recognising 4 GB Ram. Even full format & install doesnt work, shows only 3 GB. Laptop supports 64-bit. Windows helpline says buy DVD it will be ship with both 32 & 64 from which he can install. my question can he install from that *** 64-bit disk but instead of doing unofficial work, enter genuine key which he got when he install 32-bit. will it work. otherwise unwanted he needs to spend on dvd. also what if someone has genuine dvd & he installs using it and enters genuine key. will that work. friend wants to fix this ASAP. any help is good. thanks in advance.

It was from torrent, untouched copy.

Did you verify the ISO with hash? And did you try to activate it after installing or did you try other things before using the genuine key?

Hash with msdn or the torrent?

I directly entered the key.
