I want to switch from Lubuntu to Windows 7: Which bit version do I want?

Okay so I'm running Lubuntu but now I want to switch back over to Windows 7. So, I'm not sure if I should buy the 32 bit or 64 bit...

Someone help? Please?

    64-bit

    The whole world is going 64 bit as fast as it can. The disadvantage is that you have to do a clean install the first time. That means that you can't upgrade from 32 bit, you have to install a new version of Windows as though it were a new computer. Seems simple except that it won't recognize your installed programs, you'll need to reinstall all of them. It's worth it, just be prepared.

    The 64-bit version has a couple of advantages compared to the 32-bit version, one of them is that the 64-bit version allows your computer to use more RAM memory than 3.2 GB whilst the 32-bit version makes your PC able to use only 3.2 GB, that means if you have more RAM than that your PC will use only 3.2 GB, the rest will not be used.

    Another advantage is that there are some programs created only for 64 bit OS and they do not work on 32 bit, also most of the programs designed for 32 bit OS can be ran by 64 bit OS PC users which is obviously better

    So.. install the 64 bit version, reasons stated above, you can google it for more information as well. More information at the link down bellow
