Is it possible to obtain a 64 bit installation disk for my OEM version of Vista Home Premium that came with my PC? The microsoft page doesn't make it very clear, has anyone done this before? Or is the only way to do this is to buy a full version of Ultimate?
Upgrade from 32bit Home Premium OEM to 64 bit?

Hello,
Call Microsoft and they should send you the installation DVD for the cost of the shipping.
Hope this helps,

If you are turned down by MS, you may want to call the computer Manufacturer. Maybe they can help.

MS will not send replacements for OEM versions.
You can borrow one and copy it - or download one - as long as you use your own key.
Make sure you get the bit version you want 32 or 64 - the key will work with either.
Any MS dvd will do - they all contain all Editions.
