backup your data, you can't upgrade from 32bit to 64, so you will need to do a fresh install of windows 7

Your CPU might not have x64 support. What is your CPU?

As far as I know, microsoft don't offer that on their website, so unless you can give us a direct link, you might not be download the correct iso

can you check this 64bit too. cause it it is not booting from the dvd, you wouldn't be able to install it.
