Greetings: Windows 7 Pro O/S. Dell Inspiron computer.
Having a lot of problems with my computer I thought my best options was a wipe and reinstallation. I did the wipe with DBAN disc and got a clean hard drive which I just replaced about 6 months ago.

I've been handed an Acer Extensa 5220 laptop that has no OS. The 225GB HDD has been wiped.
The owner wants to install a 64-bit system.
Anyone know of bootable software that will reveal if the processor\mobo will accept 64-bit?
