Upgrading Vista to Windows7

Hello,

For some time I've been looking to reformat my Desktop PC (used for gaming along with various other things) as it's generally become clogged up with various things over the year and I'd like to start 'from scratch' again with it. I'm currently running 32bit Vista and can't find the Windows Vista CD I got with the PC, so I thought my best bet would be buying a genuine Windows 7 CD then reformatting it using that.

However, this is where I become a little stuck I reformatted another PC a long time ago, in XP days I believe, and I think I inserted the CD into the computer then set up BIOS to 'boot from CD', then followed the instructions for a fresh install, it wasn't too difficult.

I've used software4students before, even though I'm not quite of student age

Would anybody be able to advise if the above is all I would need for an upgrade from 32bit Vista to 64bit Windows7?

Thank you
