So I just finished my first build, and everything is fine in that respect. Then yesterday I noticed that on the system properties the RAM said 8GB (only 3.something usable) and thought oh, I wonder what's wrong there. I didn't follow that up, and now just tried to install something that was 64bit, thinking that's what I had installed, and it told me I was running 32bit.
So I just wanted to know whats the best way to get 64bit from here? Do I just wipe the drive and boot from the windows disc again? Will it prompt me to choose 64 bit?
Also, I've spent the last 48 hours downloading all my games and files onto this new pc, so what's the best way to back them up so I don't have to redownload them? The pc has an ssd for boot and some games, and a 1tb hdd for other things. Am I okay to just back everything up to the hdd, and then have windows reinstalled onto the solid state?
Never done anything like this, so as much help as possible would be appreciated.
