Question : Force Windows 7 Upgrade from 32 to 64

I would like to force an upgrade from x32 to x64. I know there are modifications you can make to the install files to upgrade from different versions, but is there a mod I can do to force a 32bit to upgrade to a 64bit? If not is there a way to disable the compatibility check during the set up?

Answer : Force Windows 7 Upgrade from 32 to 64

I'm sure there is... but as I stated, it's not reasonable.  How could you do it?  As I told someone else asking a question of a similar nature, hire a programmer/hacker who can analyze how Windows does the upgrade to 32 bit, what calls it makes, and so-on and so-forth, and eventually, I'm sure they'll figure out a way.  It may costs 5 or 6 figures... but if you've got the money, nothing is impossible.

Put simply, as others and myself have stated in one way or another - and I'll restate for a second time in this comment - there is NO REASONABLE way of doing this.  That is your answer.  No reasonable technician (as I would define them) would spend any significant time trying to do this so it's HIGHLY unlikely you'll find ANYONE, especially anyone here, who has found a way of doing it - reasonable or otherwise.  Experts-Exchange is a great place to find answers to questions and problems that impact a business or your ability to use a system.  When you want to do something that no one thinks is a good idea or even possible, you'll almost certainly not find an answer you're satisfied with even when the answers provided are, lacking further evidence to the contrary, 100% accurate.
