Im upgrading from Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) to a Windows 8.1 (64-bit). Reason being, the Windows 7 Ultimate is "not genuine" and was a gift from a friend since i told him any os will do as long as i can quickly start using my new pc.
Here's the questions:
1)It's originally Win7Ult(64-bit) ,but now (ever since we installed it) it is a non-genuine Win7. Is that why it's only 32 bit?
2)I have 8GB of Ram. It says 2.9 is only usable. Is this tied to it not being genuine or is this a whole other problem?
3)Can i just type in the Win8.1 keys when it says not-genuine? Will it automatically pick it up or is it only for Win7Ultimate?
4)Will i have to erase everything? This is my first time building a pc. As far as im concerned, all i need to do is load the Win8 on my optical drive and it will just convert Win7Ult to Win8 right?
5)It's 32 bit. Will it automatically turn into a 64 bit instantly? Im worried about the whole 32 bit problem.
6)Should i be worried about anything else?
