Upgradation of windows 7 from 32-bit version to 64-bit version

Hello Dequan,

I am sorry to say this but you cannot upgrade from windows 7 32 bit version to windows 7 64 bit version, you can only do installation of windows 7 64 bit version so as to remove the windows 32 bit files on your computer.

You will need to get a CD that has windows 7 32 bit version and install on your computer. You can get one from the internet. Make sure that you download a 64 bit version. Or you can purchase one from a shop nearby you that supplies software.

Mahesh is right – Upgrades between 32 and 64bit versions of Windows are simply not possible. Why are you looking to upgrade from 32bit? It's usually because there is an app that needs a 64bit install to run, or you have more than 4GB of RAM.

It may be better to stay with your current setup if everything is working as expected.
