Windows Vista 64 home premium is arguably the most popular Operating System worldwide (for new computers)
I have a legitimate copy of Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit DVD in my possession, with the key ready, and everything.
System:
Motherboard: nvidia 780i motherboard
CPU : intel quad core q6700 64 bit
MEM: 8GB DDR2
OS: XP Home 32 bit
Facts:
1. A consumer cannot upgrade xp Professional to vista HOME edition without a clean install
2. A consumer cannot upgrade a 32 bit OS to 64 bit OS without a clean install
3. Theres no such thing as XP Home 64 bit OS
4. The upgrade key fails to activate a clean install (works upgrade only)
Question:
There seems to be no upgrade path available. Is this true?
If this is true, isnt the concept of a 64 bit Vista Home premium Upgrade DVD useless?
and if that is also true, then why did microsoft sell me this DVD?
thanks
