yo so I just recently upgraded my computer substantially:
Before:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3100+ 3.1ghz dual core processor
some shitty xfx amd mobo
6gb ddr2 1066 memory
ATI Radeon HD 4670 1gb
After:
i5 2500k quad core @3.3ghz
MSI Z77A-G41 mobo
8gb ddr3 1600 memory
Nvidia GTX 560 Ti OC 448-core 1.2gb
So far I've been using 32bit windows 7, mostly just because it's the cd I happened to have lying around when I last reformatted. I was wondering what the easiest and optimal way of upgrading my current HDD from 32bit w7 to 64bit would be.

Download the iso you need (THIS IS LEGAL)
Purchase a key online (you can probably use some sort of software to crack it, but I won't endorse/instruct you how).
Microsoft have a tool that allows you to put the installer onto a USB drive for even faster installation.

With USB3 on a 1GB/s r/w raid array I was able to get the install done in a few minutes.
Hope that helps.
