Apologies if this has been covered elesewhere, but i couldn't find anything that answered my question exactly.
I've just ordered a new i7 pc, which comes with Win 7 Pro 32 bit pre installed. I really want the 64 bit version, but there was no option to change to 64, and it will be pre installed, so don't think it will come with an install disc.
What are my options for upgrading to 64 bit, given that the cost is the same for both versions? I'm fully prepeared to do a clean reinstall and even not use the machine at all until 64 bit is installed, but don't want to pay for another license if i'm not going to use the 32 bit version. I understand that people have had success using 32 bit license on with a 64 bit install disc, but i haven't got one.
Hope thats makes sense and someone can help!
Many thanks
