    I have the software and a license for windows vista 32 upgrade. I think my license will also work for windows vista 64 upgrade. The problem is that I cannot find software for windwos vista 64 upgrade. Does anyone know where I can find this software. I tried ordering it from mincrosoft for $10, but I can't seem to find a 64 bit upgrade version, just a full version.

    Any help with getting a hold of the software is appreciated.

    Thanks

    I think it's probably the same disc, and only the key is different (upgrade key vs. full version key). I'm not completely sure though.

    I think I know where the problem is. Don't the new versions of vista come on one disk with all possible vista versions on it? Then the disk just installs the version that you have a product key for?

    Yes. There are different discs for 32-bit vs. 64-bit... but other than that I think it's all the same.
