• My Windows 7 upgrade disk has only 32 bits. I want to install Windows 7 64-bit. What can I do?

  Upgrade to 64 - bit with this situation?
  A few years ago, I bought a PC which has Vista installed on it, but I was given a Windows 7 Upgrade disk to install Windows 7. I was able to create a clean install with upgrade disc. Recently, I discovered that my processor can support 64-bit, so I want to go to that. Problem is the upgrade disc contains the 32-bit version, even though I believe complete dics of Windows 7 contains both versions. It does not mean that I am eligible for the 64 bit version of Windows 7? It's terribly confusing.
  What are my options for installation of 64-bit? The 64-bit version can be downloaded or something? I even use the same product key?

• Reinstallation of Windows 7 upgrade disk fails

  I'm trying to reinstall Windows 7 on my computer, as the strain of her age is starting to show. I hope that some performance improvements.

  But I get this error message:
  "The unattended Setup answer file contains an invalid product key. Remove the invalid key, or provide a product key valid in the answer file for unattended Setup to install Windows. »
  I don't know if it is just that I have a version of Finnish language of the OS and did not bother to write the error message in its complete form, but something very close to that anyway.
  I couldn't find any solution for this through Google. People had got this error, but it is especially in the relations of a virtual PC installation.
  Initially, I had Vista, but I then upgraded to Windows 7 with a upgrade disk. I'm trying to reinstall using this disc of Windows 7. My Windows 7 is genuine and I have not had problems.
  I think it might be because the codes to activate Vista and Windows 7 are different? Maybe I have the Vista activation code in my file without supervision when there should be order in a Win7 to make it work? Is it still possible? I would naturally opinion of someone who is a bit more up-to-date saw that I could make a mess of things just dive head on.
  Should what precautions I take to debug this problem and solve it.

  See the following topics:

  If you use an unattend.xml file to reinstall and get invalid product key, you will not want to change the file.

  See the following post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/mdt/thread/e56aee98-c97e-4825-a960-7da2db707414

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.
