Hi I have a dell latitude laptop which is currently running a 32bit version of windows 7 with 2gb of ram installed.
I was going to buy 2x4gb sticks to upgrade when someone pointed out that it would be a waste as 32bit versions only utilize up to 4gb. What I wanted to firstly ask is, is it worth the upgrading or wouldn't it make much difference?.
If it is worth changing then the problem I have is I don't have a 64bit disc. I have an official dell windows 7 disc which I just pop into the drive, installs everything and is pre-activated, I don't even need to enter a code in. I have read I can get an official iso for free and use my existing code, is this true?. If so would this mean having to call microsoft when i need to reactivate it, and have to do this everytime I reinstall windows?
Another option I was thinking was possibly buying dell cd from ebay, would these work or do I have to buy a specific one for my laptop?
Thanks
