Moduslink Vista Upgrade 32bit to 64bit

PJHUK · 27 Mar 2008 at 15:20

Hi all,

I got my copy of Vista 32 Home premium via a moduslink redemption voucher (remember the shambles about a year ago?) that shipped with my copy of Windows XP Media Centre Edition.

I have heard that for a nominal fee (£10 ish), people have ordered 64bit discs that can be installed with the 32bit key, though I dont know exactly where or how.

As I now have 4GB of ram, is this an option that is available to me, or does this not apply as I got my Vista copy as OEM through the moduslink voucher scheme?

Thanks,
Paul

Cheers for the link Robbie.

When I enter my product key, it says "Sorry, no offer found".

Gutted..

That'll be because it's OEM.

If you can get hold of any Vista disc with "Anytime Upgrade" enabled you can perform the installation though, can you borrow one from somewhere or something?

How could I tell if the disc has "Anytime Upgrade" enabled, and would I just be able to install as normal with my existing 32bbit key?
