I had Windows XP 32-bit. Bought Windows 7 upgrade and upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit.
Then I noticed that there were two disks and that my processor (Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600) is also 64-bit ready.
What are my options?
Can I still upgrade 32-bit Windows 7 to 64-bit using the upgrade disks that I have?
I'm ok with wiping everything and reinstalling everything from scratch, I just don't want to pay for new copy of Windows 7 again. (btw. I already did register the one I'm currently using)
Answer
You will not have to pay. A valid Windows 7 licence will allow you to install it as many times as you like - just only have it installed in one place at any time.... If activation ever fails, just ring the free number and they will either give you another code or simply reset the install count.
However, you will need to do a fresh install as no version of Windows allows an upgrade from x86/32-bit to x64/64-bit.
