Hello everyone,
This is my first post to the forum.
I currently am running a 32bit OS with windows 7 Home Premium. I had windows vista (nightmare of a OS) and purchased an upgrade to the current OS above. It works great. The upgrade also came with a 64 bit version for windows 7. I want to change from my 32 bit OS to the 64bit OS.
I did check and my laptop is capable of running with a 64 bit OS, now do I need to do a clean install of windows 7 for this to happen?
Do I downgrade back to windows vista sp1 then install windows 7 as the upgrade again with the 64 bit disc?
Or
Do I need to go out and purchase a full version of windows 7 (I'd rather not do this one)?
Help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
