About
"If I Install Windows 32bit Twice Would That Make It 64bit?" is a catchphrase posed by a noob user asking if installing a Windows 7 32-bit version twice would yield a Windows 64-bit operating system. The phrase is often posted on tech help and other forums to troll other posters in a manner similar to Download More RAM or Alt+F4.
Origin
The original instance of the question was posted by user fwittt on the Microsoft TechNet forums in May of 2010,[1] and reads:
I have a question,
I recently took delivery of my new Dell, which came with the 32bit version of Windows 7, however the PC is capable of running at 64bit.
If I install Windows 7 32bit twice would that make it 64bit?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Initially users took the question at face value, including a board admin who explained in detail why the question didn't make sense, but in addition, users began generating a series of ridiculous replies. The original question is in the top 5% most popular posts on the Windows support forum, with 250 points and 31 replies.
Spread

In addition, screenshots of the original forum posts have been posted to the humor subreddit /r/funny, where the most popular post, from October 2013, has received more than 2,134 points (90% upvoted).
