Recommended Posts

Posted

hey hi , I have windows vista home premium (32 bit) in my hp laptop with an

AMD turion X2 64 and I was wondering if there was a way of just make and

upgrade to the 64 edition instead of installin it from scratch. Is there a

download version available?

 

the othe questions is, where can I download a ful version of windows xp

professional x64 edition?

Re: Upgrade to Vista 32

 

1.) There is NO upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit of any MS operating system. It

will ALWAYS be a full, clean, install.

2.) There is no download of the 64bit available.

3.) If your laptop came with Vista, it's an OEM version and you'll need to

buy your copy of Vista 64 - only the retail version gives you the right to

install either version. (notice I didn't say both.)

4.) I don't believe there is any longer an eval version of XP Professional

x64 Edition available for download. You'd need to buy a copy. The XP x64

version was never offered at retail, only as an OEM/System Builder version,

but is widely available from local system builders or online folks such as

NCIX.com and Newegg.com.
