    I was just wondering if upgrading to 64 bit for a dv6700t SE be just installing thru the 64bit disc and installing the correct drivers that go along with it, when it was orginally 32 bit. Help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Yes. Be aware you will need to do a clean install of 64bit, you cannot just upgrade from 32bit. Your current 32bit licence will work for 64bit.

    You will find the 64bit drivers in the HP driver and support website.
