Stupid question time

Can you upgrade from 32bit to 64bit windows 7 system ?
ie build x86 7264 to 7600 16384 090710-1945 x64fre client en-us Retail Ultimate
Or does it have to be clean install ?

was wondering as i've never run a x64 bit system before and wanted to have a go at it.

No. Only clean installation from x32 to x64.

Thanks guys, I thought that TBH just wanted a second opinion before I cocked it up

But you can always use Windows Easy Transfer to transfer your files and settings just not your programs. Windows Easy Transfer - Transfer To & From Computers

Ah Yes! forgot about doing that think thats what i'll do.
another question now is there as much support out there for x64 bit as there is for x32 bit ?

MrAleX: Think i'll do that too just in case!!
