Forum Windows 7 : Configuration & Customization Upgrading windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit

Hello,
This is mahesh here i have brought new desktop and installed windows 7 32 bit and now i would like to install windows 7 64 bit how to do that... please let me know.... is there any other patch should i download... or should i install new operating system itself....

reinstall the operating system, as far as i am aware there is no other way.

Switching from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice-versa requires a clean install. There is no way to directly migrate from one to the other.

Reply to Hawkeye22

you have to do a clean reinstall as the two version are designed fundamentally different. You would need a win 7 64bit install disc.

By the way how much RAM you got?
