What difference does it make to have either 32 bits Windows 7 or 64 bits Windows 7? Seems like installing 64 bits will be more difficult.


Depends on your system. Neither is more or less difficult. For example, I used to have XP-32 and, I think, about a gig of RAM. When I bought Win7, I upgraded my system to 4-gigs of RAM so that I could install the 64-bit.

I'm no expert on what the advantages are, other than I believe 64-bit gives it the option to access more RAM and therefore provide better service. I'm sure when SOM awakens from his "other side of the world" Mxysleep, he will instruct you far greater than this pitiful gweilo ever could...


According to Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, I can upgrade to 32 bits Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate.

To upgrade to 64 bits Windows 7, I need to do a customized installation, and I have to re-install my programs, and make copies of the files I want to keep.

I guess that I'm using a laptop is related to this.
