I like using Excel 2010 x64 when I have to process netlogon.log files with 
millions of entries.

I’ve found the 64-bit capability in Excel invaluable.

But then again, I’d rather do data analysis in Excel than writing complex sql 
queries, because I know how to use Excel better. :)

I only lost two add-ins, one in Outlook (which the MAPILabs folks were happy to 
fix up for me) and one in Word (which is also available, with more features, as 
a web service).

So x64 Office was a major win for me.

Good point, Art – I’d use the 32-bit version unless you have a compelling 
reason for the 64-bit version.

Excel and Outlook (and maybe Word in extreme cases) are the only apps in the 
basic suite that can sometimes benefit from the 64-bit and even then only if 
you have rather large data sets.

The key works with either one.

But I would think twice about uninstalling 32-bit Office 2010 and installing 
64-bit Office 2010. You need to think about the programs and add-ins that you 
are using or might use with Office 2010. A lot of them will not work with the 
64-bit version. Nothing more frustrating than trying to determine why something 
won’t work only to discover that the 64-bit version of Office is the reason. 
Even Microsoft recommends using the 32-bit version. Unless you really need the 
large memory capacity for Excel.

The situation is ...... I bought Office 2010 for home and thought I had ordered 
64 bit, received 32 bit which I did not notice until after installing. The DVD 
did not indicated which version was on it.
I have no problem uninstalling Office and installing the 64 bit version. Just 
wanted to know if I could use the same license key or if I had to buy the 64 
bit version of Office.

Can one use the license key that came with Office 2010 32 bit for a 64 bit 
office 2010 install?
