[RevCrew1]

Hello i have a question,is it posible to upgrade my Win7 32bit to Win7 64bit,if it is how can i do it?
what do i need?

You can't do an upgrade from 32 Bit to 64 Bit.
You have to do a clean install with 64 Bit.
This tutorial has everything needed for a Clean install and also works for Retail.

Do i need a serial key for 64bit?

 

[RevCrew1]

Where can i get 64bit?

 

[DavidE]

The same key works for 32 Bit and 64 Bit.
As long as you have a valid key now with 32 Bit, you can use the same key for the 64 Bit.
The tutorial has the instructions and link where you can download the 64 Bit ISO, and how to create an installation disc or USB flash drive.

i have the key on a sticker under my laptop

You should be able to use that Key . I recommend writing that key and saving it in a safe place cause that sticker will fade in time .

 

[RevCrew1]

Will 64bit affect my drivers or things?

 

[VistaKing]

Check your manufacture and see if they have drivers for the 64-bit version of Windows 7

 

[RevCrew1]

how do i do that?

 

[VistaKing]

What is the model of your laptop . Give me the exact model .

 

[DavidE]

VistaKing is too fast for me
For future reference you can start here to find drivers, etc. for your HP laptop.

Make sure you do have the 64 Bit driver(s) for your Ethernet wired card and/or Wireless saved before installing the OS as noted in the tutorial

● Just in case, save in advance your Wireless or Ethernet LAN (wired) driver on flash stick, CD or in your backup so you can install it to get online quickly - these can be found on the Support Downloads webpage for your model PC

I am not finding any drivers for HP550 Windows 7 . I see Vista and XP

Can you give me the product number or model that is under the laptop

 

[RevCrew1]

i have the problem with the serial i can see all numbers except one what do i do?

 

[VistaKing]

What does it say on the LCD ? Most HPs have a number either on the bottom right or top right corner .

 

[VistaKing]

Delete that key Plz for your safety . That isn't the laptops serial . Click on Edit on the bottom of your post . and choose delete

 

[RevCrew1]

How it isnt the laptop serial?how do i find it out?

 

[VistaKing]

What you posted is for Windows . Your HP serial should be another number .

Windows 7 should have all the drivers it needs when it installs .
