Ordering Vista 64 bit

I have recently purchased vista home premium retail.
I have tried to get vista 64bit from the site with no success, it keeps on
telling me that there is no offer found.
What can i do other than call a premium rate number on top of paying extra
for the 64bit disc?

Eric;

Yes that is the link i used. I tried it in IE7 and Firefox. I tried entering
serial key in capital letters, with dashes and without.

Right now, the only option is either through online vendors who retail it.
Why don't you try looking on eBay for a 64 bit version of OEM Home Premium
if really need it?
You might get it cheaper than buying the retail Upgrade of Vista Home
Premium then having to go through ordering process again.

Bit Torrent is your friend.

And microsoft wonder why so many people pirate their software. Their making
it so hard for me to get a legit version. I may just have to go trhough the
torrent route. IIv already got the full retail home premium version purchased
legally, it would be very un cost effective for me to order oem 64bit ..

Hi Eric,

Are you certain you bought a full retail disk and not a generic retail OEM
disk? The former qualifies for the exchange, the latter does not.

Was it in the full package box as pictured here:

Or did it come in a generic plastic wrap with cardboard or sleeve, a system
builder disk?
