Getting win 7 and isntalling help

[samrozzi]

ok I want to upgrade my vista 32bit to win 7 64 bit. but everytime I download from microsofts website its always a corrupted file or doesnt work.

any other link to dl?

and how do I install it lol

like a tut. or walkthrough because I dont wanna mess up. will I also lose all my info? im assuming it does a HD wipe with reformat etc...?

and I wanna goto 64bit because I want to get more the 3gb of ram. and well my pc had 2 HDD.

2 300gb Hard drives. I have all my music, photos, movies word documents etc.. on my 2nd one. and my OS and stuff is on my main C drive. so as long as I install win 7 on my main c drive I wont lose the other drives files right?

You can't upgrade from 32bit to 64bit OS, a clean install is required.
So your choice upgrade to Windows 7 32bit, or backup files and format drive/partition and install 64bit version booting from dvd.

yeah you cant upgrade to x64 from x86. backup your files to a flash drive or external hard drive or something and do a fresh install. its the only way it'll work.
