32 bits to 64 bits

Post by SAMO »

Hey,

I pre-ordered Titanfall and got a beta key. I wanted to download it but I can't since the game requires 64 bits.

So I would like to check if my 32 bits computer can handle 64 bits. Could someone help me to check this via TeamViewer/Teamspeak? Also, if it's possible, I would like to upgrade it (I'm using Windows XP).

Thank you!

Unfortunately you can't upgrade/change a 32 bit operating system to a 64 bit one.

You will have to install a new Windows. Either Windows 7 or Windows 8 in 64 bit.

That's what I was thinking about, and I have been planning to do it for some weeks already. I'll tell you when I will do it!

Im currently playing the Titanfall beta, it's a decent game but I wouldnt pay 60€ for it, 10-15€ tops. It's entertaining for a few matches but I doubt people keep playing it very long. So after you upgraded your computer, please cancel the Titanfall pre order and save your money for RepCom 2. :up:

Fixed.

Samo your university likely has Dreamspark Premium, which gives you a free legal copy of Windows 7 Pro :)

I downloaded Windows 7, put it on a CD, rebooted entirely my computer, installed Windows 7, everything is okay now.

You can lock!
