Hello again community!
I need a little guidance because it's my first time installing an OS.
The thing is, I have a rather old machine (8 years) running windows 32 bits with 4gb Ram, my demand for more ram was growing, so that's why I bought more ram. Of course that means that I need to upgrade my Win7 to 64 bits. I could just format the whole HD and install fresh new but I didnt want to lose all my data, that's why I bought another HD.
TLDR:
I have 8 gb installed, running 32bits installed in an old 320gb HD. Bought another hard drive:
Which would be the procedure in order to install windows 7 64bits in the other hard drive to avoid formating the old one?
Thank you and sorry if someone has asked this before
EDIT: I have just 1 oem key, and it's compatible with both system architectures
EDIT2: I'd also like to make a partition on the new HD with windows installed on it
