| Vista Home Premium 32bit via Vista Express Upgrade I`m getting the free Vista Home Premium 32bit upgrade for my Acer laptop (cost is actually £ 14 for shipping) and as I have a Core 2 Duo 64bit CPU I was thinking why don't they offer an upgrade to 64bit version but my guess is they won't be bringing out 64bit drivers for the laptop. So I was wondering despite the driver issue could I in some way request a 64bit version from Microsoft would my licence transfer to the 64bit version. If I was able to download a 64bit version of Home Premium would I be able to use it with my existing licence.      |

| Re: Vista Home Premium 32bit via Vista Express Upgrade No. There is no compelling reason to install a 64-bit version of Windows Vista on a laptop computer, especially if the laptop manufacturer does not offer 64-bit Windows Vista drivers for the laptop's unique hardware. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Nick Le Lievre" wrote: I`m getting the free Vista Home Premium 32bit upgrade for my Acer laptop (cost is actually £ 14 for shipping) and as I have a Core 2 Duo 64bit CPU I was thinking why don't they offer an upgrade to 64bit version but my guess is they won't be bringing out 64bit drivers for the laptop.

Do you even know why you want 64-bit? I guess not. ss. |
