| Guest | 64 bit to 32 bit I purchased an HP notebook with Vista Ultimate 64 bit installed. None of my periferals work with the 64 bit processor. Can I "downgrade" to the 32 bit version of Vista? Thanks, Craig. |

You should contact HP and see if they will take the machine back for an exchange or let you exchange your 64-bit restore disks for the 32-bit ones you want.

Can I "downgrade" to the 32 bit version of Vista? Thanks, Craig. Ok CraigH, I'm not sure if you have gotten your software situation remedied yet, but the offer still stands. I have a copy of the 32-Bit Version Vista Ultimate with the COA. I will trade with you for the 64 Bit Version with the COA. My software is the official Microsoft System Builder OEM version. What do you think?  |

| Newbie | Re: 64 bit to 32 bit I have the opposite problem... I have the 32 bit version of vista premium never opened. Is there anyway I can get the 64 bit version? Is there a way to contact Microsoft and have them trade it out with little cost? Thoughts? |

| Guest | Re: 64 bit to 32 bit Please keep in mind that computers purchased from companies like Dell have OEM Vista installed. This means you legally cannot move it to a new machine. Thus you wouldn't be able to just trade the discs. "AmosPC" wrote: Quote: > > CraigH;379231 Wrote: Quote: > > I purchased an HP notebook with Vista Ultimate 64 bit installed.
