Oh! It comes with 4 recovery disks.. Do you think they contain 64-bit OS?
Those recovery disks will install the 32 bit OS, pre-installed drivers and pre-installed apps including Toshiba crapware. If your computer came 32 bit, 32 bit is what will be installed, not 64 bit.
When I booted up the recovery disk, it lets me choose between 32 bit and 64 bit.
Back up everything first. But now i'm 99.9% sure your COA key will work with the 64 bit.

I have an HP Pavilion dv9812us Entertainment PC that had Vista Home Premium 32-bit installed on it.

Would that tutorial work to install Windows 7 on a USB external drive, since the setup of windows 7 deosnt let you install on a USB, but this seems to bypass setup.
I have preordered the Win7 upgrade comming in October (I have selected the download option), will it be an iso file to burn to a dvd?
