I bought a 4 gb ram computer with a dual core t6600 processor, which is more than capable of 64 bit. The only thing is, the manufacturer (MSI by the way) felt like only putting in the 32 bit version of Windows 7. How do I get this 32 bit changed to 64 bit, and I just got the computer so I don't care about wiping files?

You'd have to have access to the 64bit version then do a re-install.

Go here to download the Windows 7 edition you need in x64 version.

Following the instruction on the above link and you should be all good to go.

Your product key will work with the 64 bit so don't worry about buying an extra key.

Remember, ONLY one install per product key at a time. Either 32 bit or 64 bit, but not both.

Then burn the ISO image file with ImgBurn to a blank DVD.
