Hello, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Sorry, but the only way to go from 32-bit to 64 bit Windows 7, or in reverse, is to do a clean install with the one you want to install. :(

Hello Duane,

Yes, since you have a 64-bit CPU you will be able to. You will also need to make sure that you hae 64-bit drivers available for all of your devices as well to install after Windows 7.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I want to install in my old machine. And I think it's a 32-bit CPU.
2GB RAM.

If it's a 32-bit CPU, then you will not be able to install 64-bit Windows 7 on it. Plus, with only 2GB of RAM, you would be better off with 32-bit Windows 7 installed on it.

What's the CPU brand and model number?

Here is my system specification:
RAM: 3GB DDR2 SDRAM
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.8GHz
Hard Drive: Western Digital 80GB x 2=160GB.

Currently I am running Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate x86, it is working nicely.
What there will be any performance difference between x86 and x64? I am planning to install Windows 7 x64.

Hello qwpk313, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Since you only have 3GB of RAM, I would recommend to stick with 32-bit Windows 7. I wouldn't even think about 64-bit unless you had at over 4GB of RAM. You won't see any difference, and 64-bit may run slower with only 3GB of RAM. :(

I'd say Windows 10 is better, and not to believe the nonsense you hear about it spying on you. All that has been based on a misunderstanding of anonymous data collected from Windows Insiders to help make Windows better, and Cortana using information to better assist you with. Cortana can be turned off. Etc....
