I currently have a 32-bit HP Elitebook 8440p Notebook, running Windows 7. I was wondering if I could upgrade to 64-bit, so I can actually use more RAM than just 2.98 GB. Please say I can, I would be so happy. I'm not 100% sure if this is the laptop I have, but I think it might be, not sure though. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02030597&prodSeriesId=409587...
My product number is : SK119UC#ABA if that's of any use.

Hi:

 

You can run a 64 bit OS in any Elitebook 8440p notebook with the hardware any configuration comes with.

 

If you live in the USA, call HP at this number - 1-800-334-5144, and ask for the W7 64 bit recovery disks and it will only cost you $10 if your notebook is no longer in warranty.

 

You will need to have the serial number handy.

This is a peer-to-peer user supported forum for HP consumer class products. HP maintains no official presence on this forum. It is unlikely that HP will respond in an official capacity. Any reply from a HP employee represents their own opinion and not that of HP's.

 

Techinical, you can't perform an upgrade from a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS. You can however, do a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit on the computer. Windows 7 64-bit drivers can be found on the HP EliteBook 8440p Notebook - driver and software downloads page. 

 

The HP EliteBook 8440p Notebook Computer is a business class computer and as such, your questions may be better answered in the HP Business Support Forum.
