    Why?

    I actually just noticed this even tho i've had it sense launch. I ran the upgrade assistant on windows 7, it gave me no option so I assumed it automatically detected 64bit.

    I go to run my WEI benchmark and notice im running 32bit.

    There doesnt seem to be a direct link to a win 8 pro 64bit iso I can download, I have to use the assistant, So im trying again and well see what happens.

    Anyone have any idea on how to remedy this? Has this happened to anyone else?

    i3-2120
    Asus p8p67
    nvidia 550ti

    No it was 64, either way I did a clean install, formatted and all.
