If I have Vista x64 bit....when the new windows 7 comes out, will I be able to upgrade to a x32? -

Since Windows 7 is an upgrade to vista I was just wondering if the encryption can change in the upgrade. Thanks

You cannot upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa. Seeing as you have a 64-bit version now, you must have 4GB of RAM or more and it would make no sense to go to 32-bit as you would lose the use of that extra memory. (PS - it s not quot;encryptionquot; :))

64 bits and 32 bits are two different versions of the same OS that installs on compatible chips. Going from 64 bits to 32 bits is not Upgrade . Yes, you will be able to install W7 if your hardware supports it - RAM 1 GB and chip about 3 MHZ

YOu might but that s called downgrade!

you could, but you would need to format your harddrive first
