I live in India. I recently bought Vista Home Basic. Is there any way i can upgrade to Vista Home Premium 64 bit or above without loosing the money I spent on the Vista Home Basic which was for Rs.3500/US$ 70 I just realized the home basic 32 bit does not read memory over 3300 MB , where as I have 8 GB DDR2 800 MHz RAM plus a Core 2 Quad 2.37 GHz Processor:cry::(

Sorry mate, you can't upgrade a 32 bit version to a 64 bit version. it will require a fresh installation.

You can contact MS to send you the x64 version, however you will also have to pay for the upgrade to the premium license.

Hi Idolbredin, and welcome to Vista Forums.

In addition to Smartey's post, you can order a 64-bit version of your Vista Home Basic from Microsoft for just the cost of shipping from the link below if your copy is a retail version.

Windows Vista Alternate Media

Hope this helps,
Shawn
