You can not upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.  You'll need to boot off the
install disk and do a fresh windows install.

Is your '32bit' system using a 32bit processor?  If so, 64bit Win7 won't 
install on it, you need a 64bit processor.

I'm trying to install a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Pro on my 32 bit 
system on the computer. The install disk won't allow this.  Is there a 
work around? Tell me so my sister can understand to help.  Don't assume 
she's a geek although she does know how to navigate into settings 
folders--somewhat.  Don't assume facts not in evidence.
