Windows 7 Windows 7 32 going to Win7 64? Question

[xxnonamexx]

Hello I had Win XP on my computer and I recently upgraded to Windows 7 32. After reading I feel that my Quad core can handle Windows 7 64. My question is how do I upgrade my win 7 pro 32 to win7 pro 64? Is it like it did with XP to Win 7? Also will my key work again since I already used it for initial installation? I have all new equipment so I feel I can get the drivers etc to work correctly. Thanks

Yes it should be just like going from XP. It will be a clean install, so backup your data, etc. If you have a retail version, then the same key can be used again. You will have to reactivate and it may be necessary to do it by telephone.
Hope this helps.

Yes, you'll be able to use the same product key, but unless you have more then 3 GB of RAM, you won't notice much of a performance increase.
Cheers!
