Can I install 64bit Win7?
I have subscribed to a poll-thread Windows 7: 64 Bit Versus 32 Bit
Of 1500+ views only 52 have voted (3.4%) so is hardly a survey, only those who are fans (maybe) of x64 bit)
Using Alexander Nolan's "SysSpec" I think my Toshiba laptop might be suited to x64 bit ?
Toshiba Satellite C665
- OS:= Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (Build 7601) OEM factory installed
- Total Memory:= 4GB (Usable:= 2.74 GB)
- CPU Info:= Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz
- Motherboard:= TOSHIBA Portable PC
- BIOS:= InsydeH2O Version 03.61.081.20
- SM BIOS:= 1.20
- Hard drive:= TOSHIBA MK6475GSX ... 585.4 GB
- Display Adapters:= NVIDIA GeForce 315M | NVIDIA GeForce 315M | RDPDD Chained DD | RDP Encoder
- Sound Card:= (1) NVIDIA High Definition Audio (2) NVIDIA High Definition Audio (3) Conexant SmartAudio HD (4) NVIDIA High Definition Audio (5) NVIDIA High Definition Audio Mirror Driver | RDP Reflector Display Driver
- Video Card:= NVIDIA GeForce 315M
From posts in the poll I suspect I can upgrade from x32 OS to x64 OS (maybe?)
. . . I am currently downgrading a Dell laptop from Win8 x64 bit to Win7 x64
If my Toshiba specs are designed for 64-bit would upgrading (clean install) current Win7 32-bit to 64-bit improve performance?

I would appreciate any feedback :)
