Installed 32 bit should have installed 64 bit Win 7 - Gushers - Nov 5, 2011

So i installed a 32bit version of win7 but i need to install the 64bit ver of win7. Do i have to completely re-install win7 or is there like a way i can upgrade win7?

Completely re-install it; they're two different operating systems.

Upgrades within a Windows environment can only be performed when you are actually updated the version, e.g. XP -> Vista. You cannot upgrade your system from x32(x86) to x64.

actually, he can go from 32-bit to 64-bit. I have done that. He would have to boot from his disk drive.

Think of it this way. Its the difference between using maxed 4g of ram vs Infinite ram.

Actually, the maximum RAM Windows 7 can support (Ultimate) is 192GB.
It's less for Home Premium (I think 32GB or 16GB)

Your question reflects a lack of basic computer knowledge, I highly doubt you're qualified to be calling people skiddies. Most people who use that word on this forum have never coded a program of their own in their life -.-

And since that is impossible right now its next to infinite. Way to use google and try to prove me wrong and a topic that is utterly pointless when all the person had to do was take 5 minutes and do a little research on his own.
