Sorry, Matt. But this is a community support newsgroup. Folks here don't

work for Microsoft and we don't have access to anything to do with upgrade

offers. You need to contact Microsoft directly.

 

That being said, what are you trying to do? Upgrade from 32-bit Home Premium

to 64-bit Home Premium? It isn't an upgrade, it's just an order for a new

64-bit DVD if you have the retail version. If you have an OEM version, there

is no upgrade (well, except to Ultimate). And you can't just order a new

64-bit disk. You have to contact your OEM to see if you have any options.

I would call Microsoft support.

Hi, Matt.

 

And, no matter how you get your 64-bit DVD and the license for it, and no

matter whether it is the "full" or upgrade version...

 

You can't "upgrade" from ANY 32-bit Windows to ANY 64-bit Windows. It's a

hardware thing. You'll have to do a clean install, then find and install

any 64-bit drivers that are not included on the Vista DVD, and then

reinstall your applications. Most of your 32-bit apps will run fine in

Vista x64, but you may need 64-bit versions for some.

 

You DO have a 64-bit computer, don't you? There's no way to install Vista

x64 on 32-bit hardware.
