Hi,I bought a Windows 8 Professional (Upgrade) DVD format with a 32 and a 64 disk I upgraded my PC from Windows XP 32 bit to Windows 8 32 bit. However, I now want to install the 64 bit Version, my processor is x64 and I want to have all 32 of my GB of RAM usable.

When I inserted the Windows 8 Upgrade (64 bit ) I got a error message that said the my system is currently 32 bit and that i can’t use that install dvd to insert the other one.  Is There a way to upgrade from Windows 8 32 bit to 64bit?
