The simple facts are this.
A. you cant use an upgrade version for a full install. It is not a proper support option from Microsoft so it is not a support option here. End of that discussion.
B. You never said you were going from 64 Bit to 32Bit. So yes you are right that an anytime upgrade isnt an option, but you are also wrong for not giving all information up front instead of having us supply information and then fill us in on some things we needed to know from the start.
C. An Upgrade and Full version are the same exact thing. The only difference is with a Full Version you must start over with installing all your programs. With an upgrade you keep everything you had before, as long as it is compatible.
D. Win7 Pro is just like Vista Business. It is not intended for Home Users. It is intended for the work place. If you want games, get Ultimate.
E. There is no reason why you should go to 32 Bit. You are doing nothing but putting a limit on what your system will ever be able to do.
If you want help on how to use an Upgrade Disk to do an install, look elsewhere. We are not going to support methods that are not supported by the company that makes the product. Simple as that.
