You want 64-bit? You buy 64-bit. Simple. Like you.

Disregard that spoofing, abusive idiot.
If it was Retail version, microsoft would supply 64bit version for cost of
postage.

But, as it is pre-installed by the OEM, you have to buy a 64bit copy
yourself; Walmart, eBay, etc.
Also, make sure that your computer hardware will run 64bit Vista version.

You are an abusive bit of dog crap.

Just request the 64-bit version DVD from Windows; they will not charge for
it except maybe shipping.

You cannot 'upgrade' the current 32-bit installation with a 64-bit version.
You will have to do a clean installation of Windows. This will mean
re-installing all your apps and perhaps installing some 64-bit drivers.

So line up the 64-bit drivers for the laptop beforehand - burn them to disc.
They should be available from the laptop manufacturer's website. Also make
sure you have all necessary product keys for your apps handy. If you use
dial-up make sure to get your phone numbers etc. etc. etc.

Also, consider using Windows Easy Transfer. It is built into Vista and can
help with the change over - look into it.

Windows Vista 64-bit will use the SAME product key as the 32-bit version as
long as you install the same SKU i.e. if you had Vista Home Basic 32-bit,
the same product key will work for Vista Home Basic 64-bit and so on.

Saucy

You would need to buy the 64 bit version I'm afraid. However before you do
you need to ask yourself 'do I really need 64 bit?' To begin with 64 bit
drivers are not always readily available and unless you are using 64 bit
versions of software you won't actually see any benefit. I have both 32 bit
and 64 bit but all my software, currently, is 32 bit so I'm not going to see
any performance enhancement by moving to 64 bit.
