vista 32 bit

g25racer · 03-31-2008, 02:11 AM

Ok after some searching I found out that on an OEM version of vista you can but have to go through the dealer you bought your pc from. Which means a hassle! I also found out that you can buy the 64bit disk and its about $10 and you use the 32bit key for it!

So I could buy a 64-bit version of Vista from Microsoft for $10 even though I have a 32-bit Original Equipment Manufacturer disc of Vista?

You can but you are supposed to do it through your pc's company. So for me that means calling hp and asking about it.

Then there's the issue of the SP's.

That's not a big deal. I can just uninstall my Windows then do a reinstall without any of the Service Packs and then upgrade to 64-bit when the time comes in the distant future. It will be quite some time before I need more than 3 gigabytes of RAM. Thanks for the information.
