How ti upgrade from 32-bit Home Premium 64-bit

Built a new quad core PC, I advance and now I want to run the 64 bit version of Windows.  Where can I get the 64 bit version? Can I order it from Microsoft, if yes, where? Are there fees?

Any help would be appreciated...

Thank you!!!

If your 32-bit version of Vista is retail, you can order 64-bit to above link for the cost of shipping.

If it is OEM, you can buy a 64 bit full license.

32-bit to 64-bit must be a clean install.

  • Upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium at 8 - CPU does not support NX

    Hello

    I have Vista Home Premium (very probably OEM as it came with the PC) on a PC and I bought the upgrade license to Windows 8 Pro.
    I understand that it is in terms of the license transition, but here is my problem:
    The CPU does not support NX (and for sure there is no setting in the BIOS for this).
    So I can't move to 8.
    To replace the CPU, I need to replace the motherboard.
    If I replace the motherboard my understanding is I'm losing the license because it OEM.
    So, in reality, I can't switch to Win 8.
    The license, I bought said that I can pass any system running XP, Vista, Win 7 to 8 Win.
    It does not distinguish between older versions of Windows OEM and retail versions.
    For me, it's a huge conflict.
    So the question is:
    Can I change the CPU + motherboard to earn 8? or not?
    Thank you
    It has been some time but I finally had the time to do the upgrade (hardware + software).
    For history and for others who could come on this post with a similar question and be discouraged by responses like this:
    I contacted the technical support of MS and they confirmed that I had a Windows 8 Pro upgrade license and after upgrading my license would Win 8 Pro full-detail (what you want to call it). Essentially, after upgrade, I can reinstall any other motherboard. Of course you can only use a license on a machine at one time.
    (Of course your upgrade license type may be different to mine, so you should check they type of license)
    In any case, what is more interesting, it of that I got the confirmation that I can do a clean install and activate my upgrade license. Not only that, but they recommended the installation of Vista should not be present when installing on 8 to win. I was very skeptical and I asked for an account of the cat to be on the right side. They assured me that the support had made several times and is not a problem.
    And so, I do a clean install on the new motherboard (and a new player) and activated windows 8 with no problems at all.
    It seems very stupid that you can change the motherboard after the upgrade, but could not make the move and the Windows update at the same time. Fortunately, it is not the case.
    To me, it seems that the MS are aware that in you to go from XP (soon), they should also use the materials for the upgrade.

    Please note that the family pack is an upgrade.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    How should I now improve my OS from Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.  Double-click the ISO file says that Windows cannot open the file.  How can I open the file?  Should it be converted into a .exe file.  If so, how?

    Thank you.

    A .iso file is an image of a dvd.  It is not a program or data file.  You need to burn this image on a dvd with your burning program.  Copy disc, burn to disc.  We'll then work the disc in your optical drive.
