Accidentally purchased and installed 32 bit when I need 64 bit
Yes this happened to a friend of mine. He has 8GB of RAM and I told him that he needs x64 to use all of that. He already installed it and I said you'll have to do a clean install once he obtains the x64 version (Home Premium).
The only question is how does he obtain the x64 version? Does it cost money? How can he do this for free? He just purchased Windows 7 only a couple of days ago.
Its only a 32 bit disc, how does he get the 64 bit version?
