Once you are done, the installation process is pretty much automatic. Step 7 -- Update registry settings Once the operating system restarts, you will notice that the setup is updating the registry settings. This means that it will upgrade the previous windows to a 64 bit registry setting. Step 8 -- Successfully upgraded With the installation complete, let's open up the computer properties and over there you will notice that the operating system has being displayed if of 64 bit.
