Home pre was brought out in 64, but Home basic was only released in 32bit.

is the OS upgradable to 64bit?

 

[Combat Wombat]

Nope it's impossible, I did a Windows 7 course (6292A) - Windows 7 configuration and installation, and one of the test questions was what OS does not support the 64 Bit format.

Correct Answer - Home Basic.

Sorry.

"Learn about the 64-bit version of Windows 7. ... All packaged retail editions of Windows 7 (except for Home Basic) include both 32- and 64-bit software"

No problem,
