    Hi i just recentlly bought a new PC that came with windows vista home premium 32 bit, I was wondering how i could upgrade this to 64 bit, would i just need to buy the 64 bit package and install it?
    I dont have anything installed on this yet, but would i have to change all my drivers too, and how would i go about doing this? thanks.

    1 make sure your hardware has 64bit drivers
    2 i dont know i think it has to be a clean install, plus a clean will have more speed, no redundent files

    I was looking at the microsoft website, and it seems all i need to do is back up using windows easy transfer, buy the 64 bit version DVD and install from that without removing the old version
