What install disc do I need to go from W7 Pro 32 bit to 64 bit?
- Thread starter atikovi

Simply put; you need to get the version that says 64-bit on it. I believe its as simple as that unless there is something im missing. But i would not go with just any disk off ebay as there are plenty of counterfeits out there. You must make sure that it has a genuine windows sticker on it. Because if you make a mistake you could end up causing problems for yourself.

- Also have a pretty bad speaker setup which is a klipsch promedia 5.1 surround speaker setup with huge subwoofer and lg blu ray player/writer. Also a hp officejet pro 8600 plus wireless all in one and a logitech s7500 webcam.
No 32bit and 64bit are not compatable to upgrade, you would have to buy a new copy of 64bit and do a fresh install.

That is not correct. The windows 7 license key on the Dell computer can be used to activate either 32 or 64 bit version of windows 7.
To answer your question, yes you could buy that disc but you can also download the iso for the version you have a license for by following this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html

- I have two 4GB Corsair XMS3 modules and two 2GB Corsair XMS3 modules.
A genuine Dell w7 disk would work, but getting one from eBay is a gamble, they can be selling you anything.

That will work fine, if you get a legit one, as Britton mentioned.
