Upgrade x32 to x64?
Is there any upgrade of 32-bit 7 to 64-bit 7? I've been able to boot from an x64 vhd so I know my machine can handle it, but I notice the 64-bit installer won't run as an upgrade on my 32-bit system - but is there a way to accomplish an upgrade?
Also, anyone know of a plan for a simple upgrade path? I remember upgrading to Windows 95 back in the day and not even contemplating that it should have been difficult to move from a 16-bit to a 32-bit OS. I'd like to take advantage of the memory offered by a 64-bit OS, but I don't relish the thought of a fresh install.
Btw, I'm up for creative solutions like running my current OS in a virtual machine - if there's a way to get that done.
