| | Installing 64 bit to New Hard Drive from upgrade disk I currently have Win 7 Home 32 bit installed. I will be upgrading my system and using a new Sata hard drive. I would like to install my Win 7 retail upgrade disk [ the 64 bit version ] on the new drive. Can I do this? If so what would be the easiest way to retain all information from my current 32 bit drive? |

Upgrade disk? Not full redial, or OEM? |

| | Yes, you can do it. "Information". What "information"??? The Windows "information" will be wiped out, bye bye. Your personal files "information" needs to be backed up before you begin. |

| | I tried doing a clean install of my current hard drive and I was not able to see the option to Format so I cancelled the install. Why no format option? |

| | Retail Upgrade is what you need. Good. You won't see a "format" option per se. Just create the partitions midway into the install. Formatting will be done automatically. |
