Windows 7 Upgrade Options...?

[Bondtana]

Hi everybody. I built a new computer a few months ago... & like an idiot I installed Windows 7 Home Premium on it. I didn't realize it maxes out at 16 gigs of ram till today (I have 32 installed & could definitely use it).

Just wondering if anyone out there knows of any options for me to upgrade to windows 7 professional or MAYBE 8 (anything but 10), without having to wipe out my hard drive?

Nope, in order to use the full 32gb of ram, you'll need the pro version of 7 or 8, which means you'll need to wipe and reinstall. What do you do that you think you'll need that much ram for?

Damn, it's not a huge deal. But I think it'll be worth it. I do video editing & electronic music.

You can try if Windows anytime upgrade is still alive. Not sure about that one.
