    Hey guys

    I did a search and it yielded mixed results. With my notebook I have home premium 32 bit. What would I need to do in order to upgrade it to 64bit, and is there anything I should be aware of prior to attempting the upgrade?


    Thanks, I've learned so much from this community!

    Hello Gordon. Well all you need to do is upgrade your OS to a 64Bit version.

    I read somewhere that you can upgrade your 32 bit vista to 64 bit for $9.99. Does anyone know if this is true or where to do this at?
