I bought windows 7, 32bit by mistake. Can i upgrade to windows 7, 64 bit if i install on a new clean drive, and if so, where can i download the files to do this and what is involved? Or are these files already located somewhere on my windows 32bit DVD?

I will be installing windows 7 on a brand new (never been used) hard drive so i am not concerned with losing any data. But since my computer will have 8 gig's of RAM i would really like to be able to utilize all of the RAM. With 3rd party software companies

releasing more and more software that uses more RAM, it is best to have an OS that is up to the standards of the current offering's.

 

Thank you in advance.
