Vista 32bit to Win7 64bit
I currently have Vista Home Premium 32bit installed on my computer. I am thinking of upgrading to Win7 Home Premium 64bit. What would be the best way to do this? Will my program files transfer automaticly? Should I do a clean install or just the upgrade? Would it be better to stay with 32bit Win7? I am only moderatly computer literate and would like to keep it as simple as possible. The reason I want to go to 64bit is to get more RAM for gaming. Thank you for any and all advice you can give.

Hey 4harpers
It depends on your motherboard. If your computer came pre-installed with Vista 32-bit, then you need to use Win7 32-bit. |

to go from vista 32 to win7 64 bit will require a new install. You will have to reinstall all programs.

You can't upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit at all (or vice versa).
You can only upgrade from 32-bit to 32-bit or 64-bit to 64-bit. |
