Windows 7 doesn't allow a 64-bit installation.
I notice everywhere there are two CDs—one 64-bit and one 32-bit. I thought maybe last time I loaded it I was using only the 32-bit version, but I swear I had the 64-bit one before, just off the same disc. But it doesn’t show up. Anyone have similar experiences or solutions? My setup is an i7 4790k with an MSI Z97 Slim Kit, 16GB RAM, 1866GB SSD, GSKILL Ripjaw X, Zotac GTX 970, and a RoseWill Capstone 750W PSU.
Download the Win7 SP1 64bit ISO from a verified location and create a burn file.
OEM/System Builder editions of Windows 7 and 8 are available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The retail box includes both disks. A product key is required for installation and activation, which is provided inside the box. Check it out. If you misplaced your key, you’ll need to purchase a new license. Alternatively, consider using Windows 10 Technical Preview now and buy it later. It’s unlikely you’ve accidentally lost a key on such a high-value product. The trial version lasts 90 days before prompting for a license purchase.
