I cant find a retail copy of 64bit home premium anywere. Do the 63 and 32bit editions come in the same box?
if some one could pint me the right direction

You have to buy the 32bit one and send off for a 64-bit DVD. Maybe you can download the DVD these days, but when I did it just after release, you had to fill in an online thing and pay £7 p&p - seems ridiculous.

lol that sound...uhh crap!

That explains why someone was telling me you could download and upgrade 32 bit to 64bit.. You can do it on the MS Store, but my internet is fooked and i dont facny a 5gig DL

OEM it may have to be.

with the amount I upgrade, OEM really wasn't an option, especially to save £7 short term. But then again, I have no idea when Win7 is due.
