| | OEM Vista32 Business I saw the web site that allows the purchase of the 64bit Vista DVD for about 10USD if you have a valid Product Key. When I built my PC back in January, I also purchased Windows XP Pro with free upgrade to Vista. Unfortunately I received OEM Vista Business Upgrade, which does work fine on my PC but the product key included will not allow me to purchase the 64bit DVD from the web site I mentioned earlier. My question is this, If I use the "Windows Anytime Upgrade" for 139.00USD to go to Vista Ultimate, will I then be given a Vista Ultimate Product Key that I can then use to order the 64bit DVD? I wish I would have known how this all worked before purchasing XP Pro with upgrade, Im getting close to the price of Vista Ultimate Retail (if I upgrade to Ultimate + all the shipping and handling) I would have just waited and bought the Retail package of Ultimate that has both 32bit and 64bit versions and saved MUCH hassle. Please help Brad |
