My warranty on my dell lattitude e6500 laptop just expired recently, and of course that means i now have problems My hard drive broke, so I am in the process of replacing it with a SSD. I plan on re-installing everything on my laptop from scratch, and while im at it i plan on making a few upgrades. I have windows 7 pro 32bit Dell re-installation DVD, and a windows XP pro 32bit re-installation DVD, both disks were provided with my laptop. I would prefer to use windows 7 64bit instead of 32bit, so that i can put more memory in this laptop. So my question is as follows: Is there a way whereby i can download a 64bit version of the Dell windows 7 re-installation DVD (an iso file would be nice). I remember a few years ago with a different (non-dell) computer i was able to go on microsoft's site and request a free 64bit download to replace my 32bit installation, is that something microsoft still offers, and does it apply to dell as well? Or can i just download a 64bit version from dell?
I did find a dell backup recovery manager in the downloads category available as both 32 and 64bit, for my service tag, is that something that will generate a.iso or windows install package that i can use.

Ok if i understand your reply correctly.
Dell will send me replacement media, but i wont be able to choose 64bit, since my laptop originally came with 32bit. (where do i even request replacements, and does my warranty need to be active?) Any Dell 64bit re-installation package should accept my dell win7 OS key stuck on my laptop (unfortunately i dont have any other Dell laptops with 64bit win7 so this is not an option right now) I do have plenty of windows 7 64bit OEM DVD (not retail) disks however the dell licence key on the bottom of my laptop will probably not work? Where at microsoft can i download a free (without key) iso or flash drive install package of windows 7 64 bit retail, that then allows me to use my Dell windows 7 key? Thanks 'theflash1932' for the help. I was able to use the iso from the digital river download and re-install my system with a 64bit version of win7 instead of the 32bit which originally came with my laptop. I was also able to do the phone activation with my COA with no issues. Thanks for the links guys.
One thing that would be handy is if you guys knew where i could get a copy of windows starter.iso One of my netbooks came with windows starter and i cant find the original media (dont think it ever came with any, it must have had an OEM backup partition which is long gone) but i do have its COA sticker. I cant seem to find widows 7 starter anywhere either free download or retail purchase. So stupid of MS to make so many versions of their OS:( My netbook could use a rebuild as well so i would appreciate if you could link me to a legit way of obtaining windows 7 starter (none of the digital river links contain the starter edition). Otherwise i might have to just put ubuntu on it since its not worth spending money on this older netbook to buy another windows 7 or 8 licence for it. Hi guys, thanks for the tips. I went ahead and followed the directions in the microsoft link, however its not working for me.
I downloaded both windows home premium iso X17-58996.iso, and the windows professional X15-65804.iso suggested in the microsoft forum. I then ran the eicfgremover.exe and it said that the eicfg was removed successfully. I then used the microsoft windows 7 usb/dvd tool and created a bootable USB drive. Upon installing from the USB drive i was never given the option to select my OS. There were no drop down menus or lists or anything other than the typical windows installation interface.
It will just install either windows home premium or professional depending on which.iso i used.
4,217 As you can see in the chart, we found that Windows 7 RTM was the fastest to shutdown, and was tied with XP for iTunes encoding. However, it was slower than XP and Vista for both booting up cold by a bit more than 1 second, and slower than either of its predecessors in its Microsoft Office performance. After having used Windows 7 beta, RC, and now the RTM for more than six months combined, it still feels faster for us when launching programs, opening the control panel, and dragging icons, files, and folders around than XP. That's not to denigrate the value of the benchmarks, but keep in mind that the perception and reality might differ based on hardware and usage. Support When you try to use a file already in use, Windows 7 goes beyond Vista and XP by telling you not just that it's being used, but where it's being used so you can manage the situation faster. Other than that, Windows 7 offers on-board operating system support nearly identical to Windows Vista. Screen darkening, one-click action hand-holding, and a useful question mark icon on all Explorer windows maintain Vista's improved help features, when compared with Windows XP.
In sum Windows 7 looks like the operating system that both Microsoft and its consumers have been waiting for. By fixing most of the perceived and real problems in Vista, Microsoft has laid the groundwork for the future of where Windows will go. Windows 7 presents a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X, while reassuring the world that Microsoft can still turn out a strong, useful operating system. From Windows 7 is the updated version of the Vista operating system from Microsoft. Windows 7 Professional has everything you need for work and home.
