You Can't upgrade from 32 to 64 bit in any version of Windows as far as I know.

Going from 32 bit to 64 bit requires a clean install even if you are staying with Windows 7.

You can run both 32 and 64 bit Windows on the same computer at the same time in dual boot, (that's what I did on my old computer) but it won't let you replace one with the other, while retaining your settings and installed programs.

That's what I was afraid of. This laptop crashed on me some time ago. I had Windows 7 Premium Home Edition on here at the time, and it was 64 bit. When I attempted to restore it, the restore was corrupted and I had to get a new Windows disc. The only thing available was the 32 bit version of 7 Ultimate. It works OK, but not great, and I noticed a real difference in the graphics between the 32 and 64 bit versions. My graphics card is an Nvidia, but off the top of my head I don't remember which one, and I believe it was optimized for 64 bit.

I did create a backup and system image. I may get the full install and see if I can just use that to put Poser and Magix Movie Edit Pro back on there. The rest of the programs were free and I can just download them again.

I think I can actually go to Best Buy and get 8 installed and for a small fee they will transfer all that stuff for me at Geek Squad....

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
