Hi fredjason and Welcome to the Forum.

You will get a far better response if you start your own thread in the Installation, Software and Updates section.

Hope that helps.

Hi fredjason! Welcome to the Windows 7 Forums website.

You'll have to do a new or clean install. Your current product key is good for the 64-bit version so you'll have no difficulties there. Download all the current 64-bit drivers for your model laptop and you'll be good to go.

My apologies for the previous response; but I have moved this to the appropriate forum section.
