I have a E5200 Intel Dual Core processor & I see its compatible. Can I install Windows 7 64 bit or do I need Windows 7 32 bit?

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.

Yes,Be sure the CPU is on the compatible list of processors...it must be a 65 watt processor. If you have 4gb or more in memory you'll want to install the 64-bit version of Win 7. If you have 3gb or less in memory, the 32-bit Win 7 will work fine...Look on Intel's support website and see if the motherboard has 64-bit drivers first, before buying the 64-bit version of Win7...if not you must use the 32-bit version of Win 7. Good Luck!!

Mine is E5400 dual core, X86. You probably need to install 7 32 bit. I'm using Win XP 32 bit.

Hello Karen the board shows support for Windows 7 64 bit and you can see that here. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily;=Desktop+Boards&ProductLine;=Intel%C2%AE+4+Series+Chipset+Boards&ProductProduct;=Intel%C2%AE+Desktop+Board+DQ45EK

Absolutely. You won't have any trouble running 64bit Windows or apps like Photoshop CC.

Yes. I installed windows 7 pro 64bit on the computer that has this processor in it. Great processor. i do a lot of gaming and video editing, and while my system does have its bottlenecks, this processor isnt one of them.

Any core 2, either duo or quad, is capable of 32 or 64 bit operation. The settings are in the bios at start-up. Default setting is 32 bit.

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...quite well I might add. I run Windows 7 Pro 64 bit...never a problem.

Yes it supports windows 7 that's what am using but 64 bits instead and if your going to spend the money and buy this motherboard i would go with a better ram something like Corsair ddr3 2000mhz 8gb if not your system will be slow but that also depends on your processor speed as well.

It comes with Windows 8.0 64-bit. I found out that Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit OEM runs best since the OEM version automatically installs the needed hardware drivers. Note that the AMD CPU is not compatible with a few programs. It also cannot be configured to run Windows 7 as many casual users want the same OS at home as at work and Microsoft recently purged Windows 7 from the retail market.

You would need a valid (unused) Windows 7 key, so most likely you'd need to buy a copy. I just did this, there are a few changes you need to make in bios to get it to install, too.

You will need to download and install the Windows 7 BIOS and drivers @http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE70-2OE.html#download under the Windows 7 64 tabs. Note there are only drivers for 64 bit Windows 7. So make sure you did not get a 32-bit Windows 7 OS DVD.

Win7 Pro (64 bit) is the default. But we can install 32 bit OS per request.

I had 64 bit Windows 7 installed. Since it's a custom build you can tell them what you want.

The i7-4820k will work with 32/64 bit OS Window Vista and/or Windows 7, and you will be able to use it with MS Windows 8.1 and the new OS release from Microsoft.Tristan.

A 64 bit windows install is the norm today compared with 32 bit installations. I don't remember reading anything that would lead me to believe that there would be any problem. My advice, go for it. This board is inexpensive and has worked for me without a hitch. Peace.
