| | Re: Retail 32bit vista Home Premium upgrade to 64 bit Home Premium - H Yes, but you can't do an in-place upgrade. You will have to do a clean install, which you can do with a 64 bit upgrade copy. -- Robert Firth "rrdToledo" <rrdToledo@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1AEC61D0-2820-4C52-A0EF-72889E7B2E9A@xxxxxx Quote: > How can you upgrade to 64bit Home Premium Vista from a retail version 32 > bit > Home Premium version that cam with the PC? |

If you do have a retail version of the 32 bit Vista, then you can order the 64 bit Vista from Microsoft at this link. It costs $9.99 for S & H. The Ultimate Vista is the only one that comes with both the 32 and 64 bit versions. Windows Vista Alternate Media Hope this helps, Shawn |
