Hi all, I just burned my 64-bit professional ISO file onto a bootable DVD and am about to install it onto my current 32-bit vista... Before I proceed, I want to make sure that when I do a clean install and erase everything on my laptop, nothing will happen to my tablet right? As in, after I...

I was trying to see whether I could upgrade my system to 64-bit... it's possible but for whatever odd reasons, I just can't download the ISO file for a clean upgrade.

Hi guys, I just purchased the student-special-offer edition of Windows 7 this morning and went ahead to buy the version for 64-bit system even though my current system runs on 32-bit, figuring out that I could perhaps configure everything (I checked, my computer is 64-bit compatible). However...
