EDIT:nvm misread your post. Wait no. You cant download a 64bit upgrade and expect it to work on a 32bit system. That's crazy.the new box will be 64-bit and the xp sp3 box will be 32-bit. I suppose I could download the installer image on this box that is win7 64-bit, but will the installer work correctly on the xp install? the mysteries continue...=/
thanks for the input though =)
Correct.Well, after reading those pages, it appears that as long as I download and burn to media on a win7 64bit machine, I should be able to install straight onto a newly built computer. With the possible exception being that I might have to do a registry tweak.
Am I following correctly?
