Reinstall Win 7 Pro: change from 32-bit to 64-bit?

I have a Dell Optiplex 990 opportunity. It came with a 32-bit version of Windows 7 installed. I need to reinstall Win 7 with a new hard drive. I added (12 GB) of RAM. If I install Windows using a disc to restore Dell Win 7 Pro, my existing Windows key will activate it?

Thank you.

    Please note that Windows 7 Release Candidate is a preliminary version of Windows and should not have has been used as a release candidate.

    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.

    Initially, I installed my Windows 7 with 32-bit but have since added more than memory and want to change to 64-bit.  How do I go about it?

    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.

    PS am new long-term tragic Windows 7 XP.

    Hello

    Can you please tell us what P750 (P750-xxx) do you have exactly? I just want to check tender specifications on the Toshiba support page s.

    I have older P500 and I got it with 64 bit only OS. So I don't know if the most recent model is offered with the OS 32 and 64 bits. For example, I saw on the page s Toshiba P750-100 comes with 64-bit only.

    Can you please check again the version of Win7 is installed (Control Panel > system).
    Somehow I doubt that you have a 32 bit OS.

    Hold down the Windows key, then press Pause. Break. It will tell you
    If you have a 32 bit processor and a 64-bit processor.

    If it is a 64-bit processor, yes it can run 64-bit Windows. If it's a
    32-bit processor, it cannot.

  • Changing from 32-bit Win 7 to 64 - bit Win 7. Do I need a 64-bit SCSI driver for my hard drive SCSI of WD32 00BEKT-00F3T for "clean installation?"

    I am currently using Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit on my laptop.
    I intend to switch to Win 7 64-bit and bought the full product and I am ready to install it. I hesitate only because a previous installation of Windows, I remember being trapped because I didn't have the appropriate manufacturer SCSI driver to install during the installation process of Windows (Vista?).
    Win7 Home Premium 64-bit requires separate SCSI the manufacturer driver during installation (clean install!) or is automatically detected and installed with Win 7 64 bit?
    For your info, my HARD drive is: hard drive Western Digital WD32 00BEKT-00F3T SCSI.
    I see in the properties of the HARD drive under Win 7 32 bit driver running is a Microsft (Driver version 6.1.7600.16385) and so I'm hopeful that the switch, I intend require no road by the manufacturer, and that everything will be taken care by the installation of Win 7 64 bit.
    Can you help me, please?

    Yes, you will need a 64-bit driver, there need not be a native driver for Wndows 7 64-bit, you can also use a Windows Vista 64-bit driver if one is available.
