Default Windows 7 64bit problem
Greetings,

I have just about finished the build of my new system and have installed Windows 7 on my brand new system.

I dont recall it ever asking me to choose between 32 or 64bit......when it had finished installing i checked the system page and it told me that 32bit was installed (and consequently only 2.99GB of my RAM is available).

Obviously i want 64bit......what do i need to do?

Thanks in advance for your advise!

Nope sorry. If you purchased the retail version of either the upgrade or full, it should come with both DVD's. If it did not, contact Microsoft.
