How To Change Windows 7 32-bit To 64-bit
Apr 24, 2011
I am running windows 7 HP in 32 bit and i want to change to a 64bit OS.i had no idea that i needed a 64 bit OS, and got win7 HP disk that is only 32bit when i upgraded from vista.Here are my questions.
1. What is the cheapest method to get the task done. What disk or download do i need?
2. Can it be done as an upgrade, keeping existing files? or is a clean install the only method?
3. i have already downloaded all the drivers in 64 bit versions. can i install the drivers, or make them useable to the windows upgrade/install during the instal process, or do i need to install the drivers after the windows installation is complete?
4. if i have to install drivers after the windows install, is there a way to tell if windows has already used a 64bit driver?

In Windows 7, all the good icons are in %SystemRoot%system32imageres.dll, but we're still taken to the old SHELL32.dll when it comes time to change an icon.
Is there a registry key or something that we can change to remedy this?

How easy is it to change from Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit to the 64 bit version?
My Acer 5920G is apparently capable of 64 bit and I have the official Upgrade package which has both 32/64 bit discs.
The Microsoft W7 Update Advisor tells me I am okaay but need to do a manual install.

Yeah, I hadta git a laptop with win 7. That really sucks for this 70 yo guy. Hafta google anything I want to do to find out how. And then theres the things I CAN'T do. To me its about CHOICE. I shouldnt have to take what they shove down my throat. Why not offer 2 microsoft systems? Win 7 and Win XP. They know XP would win. But all who wanted what could get it. I'm sure its about money.

I know that I'm going to get: Why on earth would anyone want to change from 7 to XP? The answer has to do with audio. I have an interface/drivers/DAW/plug-ins that very simply ran like a top with my old XP 64 and is somehow creating CPU spikes that is making it impossible to proceed with my project.I have spent a week troubleshooting, looked into all options and I've decided that I've had it. This computer will no longer surf the web or do anything besides audio.......at least until I can afford to upgrade properly. I need the fastest solution, not necessarily the best. Another issue I am having is that I do not have a disk, only an image on my external HD. I have tried three kinds of DVD-R's in two different drives with four different programs and continue to get I/O errors. I suspect it is the media itself (Maxell and memorex ) but I don't drive so painting the town red to buy different 20 dollar packs of DVD's that MIGHT work doesnt sound good.SO, with all of that out of the way. Here's what I have:
1. Windows 7 (64) installed
2. An ISO image of windows XP (64) installation disc on a USB HD
3. A USB flash drive
I would like to have windows XP running and anything beyond that is unimportant.
