Possibilities in upgrading from XP X64 to Vista Home Premium X64

helodrvr · 05-05-2008

I am considering upgrading from XP X64 to Vista Home Premium X64 or, at the least, creating a dual boot system with both. What are my options?

If I want to have only Vista X64 on the system, can I upgrade or do I need a clean install?

If I want a dual boot system, do I buy a complete OS install or will an upgrade OS install work?

Vista 64 requires a clean install. So if you want to dual boot, you'll need to purchase a full copy and go from there.
