upgrade from 32bit to 64 bit

[markoboyo11]

hi there,
i recently just got a copy of vista ultimate from someone,
the problem is its only the 32bit edition and i was wanting the 64bit edition.

Just woundering if there is a cheaper upgrade path for me of do i have to go out and buy the 64bit edition?

cheers for any help

Buying a licence for Vista entitles you to either the 32bit version or the 64bit version.

For me, the oprions would be:

1) Find someone with a 64bit media and use that with your key.

2) Pay £7 or so to MS for a new 64bit CD and use your key.

The first option is often the best but finding someone handy with a 64bit version aint always easy.
