Also, who was it that said they downloaded 32bit W8, but wanted 64bit

Because I worked out how to get both

It was probably me, on my upgrade. I have the builder edition in 64 but I want sure if I could use it to upgrade a second machine with the 32 bit upgrade license, if that makes sense. In other words, I bought builder's for a new machine, 64 bit, and have that disk. I also bought an upgrade direct from MS, but on a 32 bit system and so that's what it upgraded to, 32 bit, and I want 64 bit on it.
