Installing Win 64 bit over Win 32 bit
Hello everyone,
I have a Windows 7 32 bit OS machine (a Toshiba Notebook), which I recently replaced the existing 2GB RAM with 4GB RAM. I am told by experts here that, in order to optimize use of the RAM, and run more efficiently, I should install Windows 7 64 bit.
The question is have is exactly how I should do it. I have set up my internal HDD with a Data Partition and a System Backup Partition, and the Active System Partition. I am wondering if I should go back to 'root', and delete all the files, remove the partitions, and reformat the drive, or if I should just reinstall Windows 7 64 bit over the 32 bit, by telling the Win 7 installer to format the system partition.
I would appreciate hearing opinions on this. Thanks! :)
