Upgrading Vista 32 OEM

[dyroot]

I bought a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium OEM x86 about a year ago for my build. Now, ive got 4GBs or ram, and want to use it all, and Vista 64 doesnt seem like a bad choice these days. Is there any way that I could get the same version (home premium) in a 64 version, and just do a clean install using my 32 bit OEM key? Thanks

Hi Hyroot, welcome to the board.

I am sorry to let you know that you can't use 32 bit OEM product key for a 64 bit installation. The best and cheapest way out is get the Vista 64 upgrade version and follow this instruction: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/68767-clean-install-upgrade-vista.html

Hope this works for you.
