Hi all, first post!
So I have a new laptop that came with 32-bit Windows 7. The system restore DVD it came with contains ONLY 32-bit Windows 7, mainly because the system shipped with 2GB DDR3 RAM. I added another 2GB to bring the total to 4GB. Would it be possible to purchase an Upgrade copy of Win7 (which contains both 32-bit and 64-bit) which would allow me to do a clean install of 64-bit, or would I have to purchase the full Retail copy? I know I can't "upgrade" directly from 32 to 64, hence the clean install.
Yes, this system is 64-bit capable.
Thanks.
