(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys I have Windows 7 32 bit right now and I want to install 64 bit. I know I have to do a clean install. My question is how do I install it without burning it onto a CD? Can I install it using the HDD. I downloaded the iso file and I want alternate ways of installing windows...

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Get a iso viewer, such as Alcohol 120% or Daemon tools then mount it then install it from there, thats what I did :y:

Hmmm.. Odd but try Extracting the iso with WinRAR then inside the extraction folder there should be one file that you can open for the upgrade :y:

Just turn your USB device into a bootable device and do it through that? :y:

You sure you can install 64bit?
What CPU have you got?

Unless you are doing a network install using ghosting tools, no, it has to be burned on a disk or through a USB device (if your board supports booting from the USB)
