    You need to read about the current upgrade policy for Microsoft.
    Alsop do you  know your PC is 54 bit compliant?

    Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Policy
    Quote
    A Windows Anytime Upgrade key might also be called a Windows Anytime Upgrade product key.
    Windows Anytime Upgrade is unavailable in some editions of Windows 7.
    Also, see this article.
    Install, upgrade, & activate

    If your PC can not have more that 4 GB of RAM, the 64 bit OS may not give better performance than the 32 bit.

    If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows then you cannot upgrade directly to 64-bit Windows. Instead you will need to do a clean install of 64-bit Windows. If you purchased a retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8, then a 64-bit version will be included; your key will unlock both.  If your computer came with Windows 7 or Windows 8 already installed, on the other hand, then you may or may not have a 64-bit version as part of the restore and install discs that are typically included with your computer; check the discs that came with your computer or contact your computer's manufacturer to be sure.  If you don't have this option, visit the Microsoft Store.
