    Awesome! I managed to successfully burn and run the Windows 7 Setup x64 version!

    Looks like I'm fine from this point onwards. I'll post anymore questions about this as I think of them.
    Thanks for everyone's help .

    Hey, I do actually have a question about Microsoft Office 2010.

    I have it installed on my laptop at the moment and I'm wanting to reinstall it when I do my clean install. I have the product key for Office I just need a specific download link. Reason being because I purchased it using Microsoft's HUP program. I have found the exact link download I need, but the link is broken. Would anyone else know a alternative download link for this? The exe file I need is X17-75371.exe (new SP1) aka Office 2010 Professional Plus x64.

    Here's the download page I found (some links are broken)
    Office 2010 Direct Download Links :).


    Or would I just be able to run the 32bit version instead? (I already have the installation for 32bit)

    Running the x64 (64 bit) edition also requires an x64 Windows edition. The advantages of Office x64 is a bit better performance. Disadvantage is that it doesn't support most third party plugins and add-ons. Microsoft actually discourages the use of the x64 editions. So unless you're absolutely sure you need an x64 edition, you should choose x86 (32 bit).
    I think MS would rather you use the 32 bit version anyway.
    Yes, it will run on a 64 bit system.

    As far as I know, Microsoft says most people are better off with the 32 bit version of Office 2010 for maximum compatibility with Office add-ins.

    Regardless, here's a link at Microsoft; I've never used it and don't know what version it leads to:

    Okay, Thanks.

    I might just stick with the 32bit version then .

    I have now installed Windows 7 Home premium 64bit on my computer!
    The activation was no problem, and I managed to install my drivers as well.

    Thanks for everyone's help and support
