I am considering buying a student discount of Windows 7 64-bit from Digital River. However, I need to know if there's a way I can perform an installation on my laptop by either using a DVD with this file or a flash drive with this file (flash drive preferable, but knowing both would help).

Here is the situation: I am currently running Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium on my laptop. The laptop will never load the OS now as of three days ago. I can't even run safe mode! My Dell consultant recommended that I perform a custom re-installation of their Windows 7 upgrade on my laptop. I figured this was an opportunity to install a 64-bit version of Windows 7 through a discount purchase instead. It seems the Digital River store would charge the least and is perhaps the most convenient way to get this on my laptop. The question is, how would I perform the installation from the download on such a laptop?
You will have to do a custom clean install:
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
Click Install Now
Accept License Agreement
When the option is displayed to select an installation type, click (Custom Advanced)
Click Drive Options
Select the drive
click Next to proceed with the installation
If you delete or format a partition that contains a version of Windows, all data on the partition is permanently deleted. However, if there is an existing copy of Windows on the partition you selected, but you do not format or delete the partition, user files are saved to a Windows.old folder on the partition, which you can browse to after the installation completes. However, you should still back up your user files before performing a custom installation. For example, if you have encrypted files, you might not be able to access them after installing Windows. If you’ve backed up your user files and then restored them after installing Windows, you can delete the Windows.old folder.
Do I need to custom install something like Windows Vista 32-bit that initially came on my laptop before I installed Dell's Windows 7 32-bit? Is there a way around this? Could I perhaps even upgrade Windows 7 64-bit with this electronic download without destroying any files or applications already on my hard drive? Or should I back up the files before I start this installation process?
There is no in place upgrade path from Windows 7 32 to 64 bit, you will have to do a custom clean install. If you do a custom install, you can reteive your personal files from the Windows.old folder.
