32 to 64bit?

[Zach252]

I currently have the windows 7 home I believe, with the 32 bit installed, how can I upgrade to the 64 bit?

I have a 64 bit product key but no separate cd just the one I used.

Can I just put the 32 bit cd back in and use the 64 bit key during install?

My computer is compatible btw.

You can put it on a flash drive

why are you upgrading to the 64-bit version? if you don't have at least 4GB of ram your PC will not perform as good when you had the 32-bit version installed

Use the link provided by Autocrat to get the installation media, assuming your x64 product key is genuine. You'll also need to perform a clean installation as there's no upgrade path from x86 to x64.

If you do create a bootable USB drive, make sure it's USB 2.0. Windows 7 doesn't support USB 3.0 without a driver.
