Downgrade from 64 bit to 32bit?

[adgower]

is this possible? I downloaded the 64bit from the .edu email address thing, but I want 32bit...

Thanks!

you will have to do a new install. Just download the 32 bit, the key works for both 64 or 32 bit versions.

Downloading Windows is kind of a gray area. Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with downloading Windows from any location if you already have a legitimate serial that you bought and paid for.

if i download this http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...7E-B7DB-405B-974B-DD61FC41ADD4&displaylang=en

and then enter in my key for windows pro... will this update to windows 7 pro? 32bit?

i agree, but you can Probably download it where ever you dl'd the x64... if not you can find it online.... torrents maybe? i mean you have the serial key..... you should be able too.

i have no idea... but its possible, i mean if you want to buy it, theirs probably an upgrade option... but not sure

If you have a legit product key, contact Microsoft. They'll be able to help you.

torrents is a way but make sure its a clean image not some modded one.

I am surprised microsoft dont offer download links as there is probably a lot of people who may want to do clean reinstalls but have no media, typically oem users.

well I'm just gonna stick with 64 bit now and yes I have a legit product key.

thats what i had to do. The college was taking too long to get their download up but went ahead and gave me my key. Just downloaded from another source.

Why downgrade to x86 from x64 at all. Since your pc runs x64 why not stick with it. You have the Professional version so you can use XP mode for anything you need that is not Win7 compatible.

Well because I am having problems with a tv tuner I have, but I have everthing working how i want it now.
