I'm replacing the 32 bit version. Can I install this without having to reinstall existing files and programs?

Basically, any new operating system installs best on a newly formatted HD. This means your computer's empty. You are not going to save your programs and data. Be aware most programs will need to be reinstalled, then it's data can be restored. This being said, your computer should forget who it was and it's component parts also, part of a OEM disk protocol is to format your HD. Be sure to have access to your computer's manufactures web sit for driver access. Win 7 Pro has a good driver data base but may not have your network card or wireless radio. Having an Ethernet dongle is recommended. This is if you have an OEM OS disk, an update disk is different. Not as clean of a reinstall of the OS, I've heard.

There is not a direct upgrade from any 32-bit version of Windows to the same or a different 64-bit version. Just like there is no direct upgrade from Windows XP to any newer version. So everything will need to be reinstalled to upgrade Windows XP, or to upgrade any 32-bit version of Windows to any 64-bit version.

No you cannot. I tried everything in my power and even hired a computer guru. It can only be done if you have the Deluxe version.

We can install Win7 32 bit if desired. Email us after your purchase as 64 bit is normally installed..Thanks

I am afraid not. I have windows 7 home edition 64 bit, and this operating system does not recognize the program. It did not load in my machine. It might possibly load in a 32 bit environment, but someone with this OS will have to comment.

Simply put Yes. To avoid confusion, I am running W7 Ultimate 64bit. I cannot speak for any other OS but I would assume the answer would be yes as well.

My preference is fo OEM over upgrade but back up your data first of course. Can't guarantee everything (sw/hw) will work going from 32 to 64 bit but there are usually workarounds.

Yes you can it comes with a 64 bit and a 32 bit CD. Best to build your gamming PC with a 64 bit system.

I would have the CD handy. I found that I had to use the CD for the software install. Thanks.

Yes. Perform your upgrade then.follow instructions to.open existing file...there should be no problem opening your 2007 file

Yes. I installed it on 64 bit. If I remember correctly there was something special I had to do like "run as administrator", but yes it worked.

You are not going to use the "OLD" OS, so it doesn't matter what shape that OS is in or what motherboard it was used with. You are going to format the drive and install a brand new clean copy of Windows 7 64-bit, right? You can't just plug in the old hard drive and expect it to work, besides, that was 32 bit and you say you want 64 bit, so you HAVE to reinstall the OS? I'm unclear as to whether you want to install 64-bit Windows, or keep your old 32-bit! You can't do both! Are you sure you are qualified for this work? Actually we already know that you are not, because if you were, you wouldn't need to ask these dumb questions. Over and Out.

I installed the upgrade from FP and it went fine. I did not have FP installed and it did not ask for the program disk or the product key. I'm guessing it will work for you as well.

Yes. There are 32 bit and 64 bit disks in the upgrade package. I upgraded a 32 bit system and everything went smoothly.
300384
I think so, but more than likely you will only utilize 32-bit of your system. I suggest you look into an upgrade for 64-bit systems only.

No, you do not have to re-install anything. Does not effect any software you have installed at all.
