If I do borrow a disk, do you know if it matters of the version? I have
ultimate but only know of some friends with lower versions.
Thank you so far!
Matt,
The Vista installation DVD contains all 32 bit versions. You have to send off for the 64 bit DVD. Only the retail Ultimate version comes packaged with both 32/64 DVD's. The product key number that you have determines what gets installed from the Vista installation DVD.
It may or may not give you a C:\Windows.old folder. I would backup anything you did not want to lose to be safe.
