    Clean install of Windows
    My laptop came with Windows Vista 64 bit, not knowing the ram limitation, I downloaded and installed Windows 7 32 bit. I want to go back to 64 bit vista, but I found out the only way to go from 32 bit to 64 bit is to do a clean install, and that I can't just boot it on a virtual disk. If I burn the Windows software onto a blank DVD, and install it like that, will it work as a clean install?

    Yes, but only if you boot from the DVD and repartition.
