I got a windows 7 dvd as well as commissioned it upon my computer. ( we formerly had perspective home premium) When we was finished installing it we checked as well as we had 32bit OS. we longed for 64. How do we shift it? And will it engage wiping my tough drive?

If you buy a boxed store version, it’s supposed to come with both 32-bit and 64-bit discs. There are *two* Windows 7 DVDs in each normal package. You need to use the other one to install.
And yes, you have to fresh install when moving between 32-bit and 64-bit. You might try using the built-in Windows Easy Transfer wizard to move things over though.

I don’t think there’s an ‘upgrade’ option from a 32 bit version to a 64 bit version. You would most probably have to re-install 7. And if you installed a 32 bit version, I believe the DVD you have is of a 32 bit version, which means you ‘ll have to spend more bucks to get a 64 bit one. Do make sure your system can support a 64-bit Operating System, before you install, because, otherwise you’re screwed
