[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1150743, member: 46727"] You can't do that from Parallels without creating another virtual machine, this time for Windows 7 x 64 bit. You can not upgrade a 32 bit system to 64 bit without a clean install. So what you will wind up with is two virtual machines for Windows 7; one 32 bit, one 64 bit. Once you get the 64 bit up and running, you can remove the 32 bit VM. Even if you were running Win 7 from Boot Camp, you can not update a 32 bit copy of Windows to 64 bit without doing a clean install. [/QUOTE]
