windows 7 64 bit compiler

hi everyone,
i want to compile my driver codes(prepared for 32 bit) with win 7 64 bit compiler for 64 bit system. Here is (WDK 7.1) there is only x86 Checked Build Environment tool and it is for 32 bit. The other one x64 Checked Build but it is for amd.
Which tool do u advise to use for 64 bit systems?

The x64 is for AMD and Intel systems that extend the x86 architecture,
so is what you want. I can’t imagine you are using Itanium which is the
other option.

As Don states, use the AMD64 environment . While your doing this you also need to pay attention KMCS, because before driver will install on the 64 bit test system it must have a certificate applied. You can apply a test certificate, discussed in the docs, and configure your system to install 64bit drivers for testing, also covered in the docs.

x64 is for AMD :slight_smile:

“amd64” and “x64” are the same.
