Ok, so i got a Windows 7 Ultimate disc from a family relative for my new computer and it turns out it is 32 bit and i was looking to upgrade to 64 bit, how can i do this because i cannot play new games e.g Farcry 4 without a 64 bit version.

Thanks in advance! Smile

Assuming you dont have a USB or CD.

Download a windows 7 iso from: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Then extract the ISO file [requires winRAR or 7zip]

Open the extracted folder and open the Setup file and follow instructions.

After that you'll boot into a fresh OS with a 'Windows.old' folder in your C drive which contains all your files from the previous OS.

If you have a USB/CD then just burn the ISO to either one and boot to that and follow instructions.
