> Can I upgrade from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows 8?
> Yes, but you can't do this using Upgrade Assistant. If your PC has a 64-bit capable processor (CPU) but is currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can install a 64-bit version of Windows 8, but you'll need to buy Windows 8 as a DVD.
I guess not, otherwise you'd be able to just burn a full version DVD and boot from that.
