If your computer came with Windows 7 already installed, your Product Key is the same for 32-Bit or 64-Bit.

If you install from your 64-Bit Windows 7 DVD, you'll have a 64-Bit system. Since the Product Key is the same, it will Activate normally.

You can download Windows 7 DVD .ISO files from Microsoft and burn the disk(s) you need.

Win 7 64-Bit


Win7 32-Bit


Note: These are "plain vanilla" Windows 7 DVDs. They do not contain the OEM Certificates you'll need for Activation.

Please refer to the P.S. and P.P.S. parts of Message 28569781 where I deal with Windows installation and OEM Activation.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. Since Windows 7 became available on October 2009, a 5 year old laptop probably didn't have Win 7 from the factory. In that case, you'll need a program to extract your activation data from your old Win 7 system before you install a replacement.
