When reinstalling Windows 7, does the language, version, architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) or source (OEM, retail, or MSDN) matter?
I'm getting a new PC soon and thinking that I'll start with Win 7/32 bit then upgrade later (if needed) to 64 bit and add RAM (beyond 4 GB).
Is this fairly easy to do?
Answer
No.
X86/32-bit to X64/64 bit is not supported in any version of Windows through either upgrade or anytime upgrade.
Your only option would be to do a fresh install - however, if I was you, you should format the drive first to really get a fresh start.
You can however use Windows Easy Transfer which should make it easy to transfer your documents and reinstall your programs.
