Hi there just want a bit of advice ,if you bought the vista 32x OEM and installed it ,then desided to change to the 64x OEM would this be ok ? :confused:

How do you mean? You would need to buy the 64-bit OEM version separately if you wanted to do that.

You'd be buying a whole new license so yes it would. (why wouldn't it be?

) You'd have to reinstall from scratch of course, rather than 'upgrade' from 32-bit to 64-bit.
