I was working with huge video files in windows 7 X 32 so I decided to upgrade to windows 8 X 64. After buying windows 8 I discovered you can't upgrade a 32 bit system to 64 bit so I used the 32 bit win 8. The system was still slow, I needed a 64 bit system. I though that if I bought a win 7 X 64 OS I could then use the win 8 X 64 upgrade disk. I reloaded to win 7 X 64 and tried to upgrade using the win 8 X 64 disk. It goes through the long process and seems to be working but at the finish I get an error message "we can not install win 8 on your system" I get this over and over again. All I wanted was a 64 bit system to better edit huge up to over 20 GB files, How can I get win 8 X 64 loaded without having to buy a third OS disk?
