    This for the computer guys here ... which I'm not one of. I have a laptop with windows 7 64 bit. My understand is this set up not suitable for running techstream. I have seen a work around but that is way out of my pay grade. My question is can I install a copy of Windows7 32 bit on this laptop and then can I run techstream on it. Or do I need to get another laptop that is 32 bit. Thanks for the help Happy New Year. Don

    I agree that the workaround is not easy to implement.

    Yes, you can do a fresh install of Windows 7 32 bit OS.
