32BIT W7, Would like 62BIT...Also, Wipe HD then Restore Activation...
Hey all,
Ok, so I purchased Windows 7 from the Microsoft store around the time it first came out. I had built a custom built PC to use it on and I have decided to upgrade the RAM on this machine to 8 GB. I know to make use of this I must have Windows 7 64 bit, but I currently run Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. My question is can I install a fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit and use the same serial number ?
My other question is: If I cannot do that, I am still going to wipe my hard drive clean and reinstall the OS one way or another. How do I un-activate my current Win7 so when I reinstall it the Serial number will work and activate properly. Also I guess the Product I.D. is my serial number I would use???
Thanks for all help, it is much appreciated.
