So I'm trying to install windows 8 64-bit with the windows upgrade installer.
Doing a fresh reinstall on a new PC.

I have a legit windows 8 key.

I want to make sure the installer detects and gives me 64-bit win8,
If I install a dl copy of win7 64 bit first, even without activating it, can I still use the win8 installer to upgrade?

I vaguely recall someone mentioning this "trick" would ensure windows 8 64-bit gets installed...
But not sure if it worked for everyone.
