Actually, I had asked the same question on the forum at thinkpads.com
and I got pointers to legally downloadable copies of Win7:

After all, I do have a valid OEM serial number for Win 7 Pro, and my
understanding is it's good for both the 32 and the 64 bit version.
Just to confirm the link mentioned in that post
(http://forum.notebookreview.com/windows-os-software/428068-legal-windows-7-download-links-just-like-vista-before.html)
worked perfectly for me:

OK, thanks! I think I'll also perform the install from scratch on my
X301, since I haven't really had the opportunity to install anything
else than the factory Win 7. I did enroll my finger prints, but I
believe they will survive the new install.
I selected "custom install" and reinstalled everything from scratch
(deleting the partition used by the factory pre-install). My already
enrolled fingerprints were preserved, as I expected.
I now have a fully functional 64-bit Win 7 Pro and 8 GB of RAM on my
shiny new X301.
Cheers, Dominique
