    Guys, I got a 32bit version of Vista express upgrade for my Lenovo T60 last week.

    Is it possible to buy a 64bit version of Vista from Lenovo by paying just a small fee? (or do I have to pay the full amount?)

    I think I read someone's post that you can get a Vista 64bit from Lenovo but I don't know if you have to pay in full.

    If it is an OEM version of Vista, then yes you'll have to purchase another license. If it a retail disc, you only have to pay $10 for shipping. Yea, that's crap :).

    Levono might have some other deal going on, so you might get lucky. But I *think* you have an OEM copy. Even with the 64bit DVD, the key you were given will not work unless it is a retail key.
