| | 32bit Vista now and 64bit later? Well I just recieved my MSDN AA Business activation code and burned the ISO I downloaded from MS earlier. So Im gonna try it out with a dual boot config (too tied up in XP for a complete switch yet) for the time being. But what I do have doubts about is if I activate Vista as a 32bit OS now, will I then have any trouble later on with doing a clean install and going 64bit instead? The rig is fully 64bit ready and all, and since this is not an OEM license it would not be a problem with some minor hardware changes. Im not uprading from 32 to 64bit directly, clean install is better IMO so thats the route for me when ready. I just don“t wanna activate it in 32bit mode and then later (maybe a year) find out that going 64bit when ready is a no go because its a locked out option. Much obliged. |

But I still wonder if I can install Vista 32bit, and then remove it and install Vista 64bit with the same license? |
