Couvs Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 many stores taht will be selling Windows 7 upon release are offering a half-off preorder deal on the upgrade for the next 2 weeks and when I contacted best buy to find out if it included the 64-bit version they said it would "be compatible with the 32- or 64-bit versions of XP and Vista... does this mean it will install whichever version I have of XP? I'm fairly certain I have the 32-bit version of windows XP and I'm going to want to install the 64 bit version of windows 7 when I get the release in my hands. any advice?

Rohdekill Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 looks like 32 & 64 versions are on every version... http://www.pcworld.com/zoom?id=167444&...1&zoomIdx=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been any sort of comfirmation whether or not both architectures will be included with retail media (a-la Windows Vista Ultimate).
