    Windows 7 32bit to 64bit possible?


    Hi, currently I'm running Windows 7 32bit and I want to switch to the 64bit since many people been using 64bit these days =)
    So how do I do it?
    I put the 64bit disc into my DVD drive?
    I start up the CD from boot?
    then I choose Custom Install?
    then I choose the HD I want to install it on?
    and then I click Advanced Setting?
    then I click Format button?
    then its all OK right?
    are those the steps guy?
    thx =)

    Make sure you've backed up all your important files first.

OS: Win 7 64bit. Is it generally not a problem to choose to install a piece of 32bit software outside the win 7 default program folder for 32bit software? Or is 32bit software only supposed to be running flawlessly, if installed in that default 32bit folder? Thanks.
