64-bit Upgrade Support for Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Servers
Microsoft Windows 7 is offered in a 64-bit version that sets a new benchmark for desktop dependability and performance. However, for most organizations the transition to 64-bit processing is challenging because of the requirement to perform a clean installation on every desktop. This requires reconfiguring programs, backing up and recovering data files, and running new drivers. Though businesses usually already have 64-bit PCs, the effort needed to take full advantage of this untapped potential can seem excessively time-consuming. But because Windows 7 often calls for a clean installation, this represents a good time to move up to 64-bit computing, which takes little more work.
