Hello, I write reviews of photographic software and recently I've noticed that I need to have 64bit software and I'm having to turn work away because of it.
I've also found out recently that the Windows 7 Ultimate I have is in fact not a legal copy! I bought the computer custom built with it pre-installed.
I want to buy a legal copy of 7 but would like to know if I can get the 64bit version. My computer properties says I have an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+ 2.21GHz, 3Gb RAM and the System type is a 32 bit operating system. Is the latter the current system?
Do I need to upgrade anything before I buy a download of 7 or is it ready to go?
I understand I'll need to format and do a clean install? Is that right?
Terribly sorry if these seem like simple questions, but as they say; you don't know until you know.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
