Installing 8 on my Windows 7 32-bit

[Jonetsu]

Hi guys i bought a windows 8 cd that says Windows 8 Pro 32 Bits , i inserted the cd waited for like 3 minutes then i clicked on the icon after the cd sucessfully loaded but a message pops up saying: Your current version is 32 bits and doesn't support the installation 64 bits. Insert the 32 bits support and restart the windows installation.

Sorry my pc's lang is french :huh:

Need more info about the specs of your computer. Where did you get the disc, also is it an update or full version? It looks like your are trying to install a Windows 64bit on a computer that only supports 32bit architecture. This tutorial may help on the installation.

Your system is weak for the instillation of windows 8, run the upgrade assistant from the following site. It will tell you what needs attention before installing Windows 8

However, I suspect that the CD you bought was actually a 64bit install and was not genuine. Windows 8 Full Version packages come with 2 DVD's, one 32bit and one 64bit in the box.

Did you run the install from Windows 7 or boot from the DVD? If the former try the later.
