As in yes you can install 64bit windows on your laptop however you cannot upgrade to 64bit directly from 32bit. You will have to install the 64bit version of windows as if this was the first time any OS was ever installed. Just to clarify that a bit further.

Download and run the Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. - Find out if there will be any system, program, or devices issues before you start the installation.

It will also tell you if your computer can run Win7 64bit.
