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?

Will be the product key, I received with my job to drive upgrade with the 64-bit version, I downloaded?

Yes.

The key of Windows 7 works with 32 and 64 bit, but can only be installed at a time.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    I bought Windows 7 Professional earlier this year.  ISO I downloaed (backup DVD of NO) has only the 32-bit version on it.  I can install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?

    Download Windows 7 Professional 32-bit or 64-bit. ISO and follow the instructions below to create your own installation DVD. You will always use the product key that you got, but the DVD will be created from the. ISO file that you download.

    32-bit Digital River: http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65804/X15-65804.iso
    64-bit Digital River: http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65805/X15-65805.iso

    Check it. Downloaded ISO file is not corrupted:

    For Windows. ISO file just place checkmarks in the boxes of SHA1 and CRC32. In the main window of HashCalc "data format" box located in the top left corner should be set to "file".

    In the 'Data' field, click on the... located at the top right and then click 'Cancel' If you get a "Insert disk" window pop up. After clicking cancle, you should see a window 'find '. This allows you to navigate to the folder where your. ISO file is stored and click on the file. You should now see the.

The data field should now show the path of the directory/folder and the name of the. You have selected the ISO file.

    With only the SHA1 and CRC32 checkboxes are checked (do not place check marks in all the other boxes as this can slow the time it take to calculate values) click on the 'Calculate' button at the bottom of the main window of HashCalc.

    It will take anywhere from 30-60 seconds for the calculation and the SHA1 and CRC32 data values to display.

    These values are not case sensitive, so a lower case 'a' is the same as a capital letter "A" to the extent where results are concerned. However, they must match those I posted below.

  • Windows 7 Pro 32 bit MS Windows 10 upgrade will offer only 32 bit or choice of 32-bit or 64-bit?

    I have Windows 7 Pro 32-bit my PC is 64 bit, can I switch to 10 64-bit Windows?

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
    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.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
