    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit But i Can't!


    A few days ago, I accidentally upgraded to Windows 7 32bit. The CPU supports both but i mostly want 64bit OS because of the RAM.

    I have downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on my USB.
    But when i try to boot from the USB, everything seems fine and when i am close to the preparation it needs a device..something..
    It does this EVERY TIME!
    I want Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit again
    Error: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Setup needs a driver software..
    Please help
    The CPU supports both 32 and 64bit

    Antivirus: Microsoft Security Essentials
    OS (Current): Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
    RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel
    CPU: ASUS P8B75-M LX

    Put the Iso file you downloaded on a dvd, it`s much simpler to install windows with a dvd.

    What did you use to put the Iso file on the usb stick ?

    Try Rufus.

    Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way

    But, if you only have 4 GB of memory, there is no reason to install 64 bit, unless you intend to add more memory.

    My pc has 8GB of ram.
    32bit uses only 4gb ram
    that's why i want 64bit

    Does 32bit affect my gaming performance?

    OK well your specs say 4 GB, if you want 64 bit then install 64 bit.

    Look over my earlier reply again :)

    Any more questions, just ask.
