X99 Can't get 64 bit W 8.1

[ruckerzgold]

Hi all! So I just built a beast X99 rig but I can't get windows 8.1 pro 64 bit, because my other computer is 32 bit, it will only let me download the 32 bit OS. Does anyone know how I can get the 64 bit OS??

You buy it.

You can download the trial version of any 64-bit Windows OS and use that as a starting point.

Let me expand on my answer.

If you bought the retail version of Win8.1 you probably got both the 32bit and 64bit install disks.
Since you dont have the disk I'm assuming you didn't buy the retail version.

If your other pc is an OEM, like Dell, Hp, Lenovo, then that version of windows is tied to the motherbd and can't be moved to a new system; you need to buy a new copy of windows.


perhaps if you explained your situation more clearly we could better assist you.
