    I will be getting a laptop that has Windows Vista Business x32 and it qualifies for Win 7. So I think I will be getting Win 7 Professional x32. I have read on this forum that the x32 key works for the x64 bit key(I knew this was the case for Vista but didn't know for Win 7, but found my answer on this forum). SO my question is if I wanted to go to Win 7 x64 what media can I use? Is there a anytime upgrade disc like with Vista or can I get a ~$10 disc from MS to convert? Any help would be great. Thanks.
