I have Vista 32 bit and would switch to the 64-bit... possible?
I would rather buy a brand new operating system so I would like to upgrade to 64 - bit, because the MOBO, I put in is capable of up to 16 MB of RAM. But recommend them not more than 3 GB for a 32 bit OS. Can I upgrade my OS without much hassle or $$$. Thanks in advance KM
Hello
There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.
You need a full 64-bit license and you must do a clean install.
And Microsoft sells more Vista; they are now selling Windows 7, which will soon be replaced by Windows 8.
See you soon.
EDIT: Here is the Windows 7 information.
Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

I use win xp pro 32 bit and want to update for win 7 pro, how can I do? I have
Hi I bought a new PC and need to upgrade all these years I was with win XP pro 32 bit, I need to switch to Win 7 pro. 64 bit...
what I have to buy a new copy of license or just pay the amount of the upgrade to the new version of windows? If so how do I do that?You will need to purchase a new license, unfortunately, you can't buy just the product key, you'll need to buy the package, given that Microsoft is no longer selling just the key.

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional upgrade
The upgrade to Windows XP?
Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.
Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).
More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.
1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.
2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.
3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.
4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."
5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.
If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

Can I switch to 4 GB of ram if I have Vista 32 bit?
I have a Gateway FX - 541S with 3072 MB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and a processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.40 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 8 MG cache) and I want to improve my memory up to 8 GB. I am running VISTA Home Premium 32 - bit OS. I have to upgrade to VISTA 64 bit or WINDOWS 7 to access this additional memory?
By design, all 32-bit versions of Windows is limited to 4 GB of RAM; This 4 GB that you will see only about 2.75 GB to 3.50 GB usable RAM, the remaining RAM is reserved by the hardware you have installed. So, to use more than 4 GB of RAM, you will need to upgrade to a 64 bit version of Windows Vista.
According to the specifications below page, your system is expandable up to 8 GB of RAM, because it has 4 DIMM DDR2 slots.

I have vista ultimate 64 and I try to run HAWX in DX10. It is gray in the game. When I run DXDIAG it says that I'm running DX 11. How can this be? How to register for dx10?
Gearrunner,
I have Windows 7 32-bit last month. I installed the demo of HAWX and he ran a program compatibility Wizard after installation. He showed that DirectX 10 has been installed. When I run DXDiag, I also show DirectX 11. Now, I have installed DirectX 9 .0c on this machine. Then you can try to install it and see if that makes a difference.Of course now that I've tried the demo you have shot me in another game I have to play. :)

I have two laptops, running a Vista 32 bit and the other works under Windows 7 64-bit. Can I use SkyDrive to synchronize folders and files between two computers? I am the only user of both computers
SkyDrive will be see no difference between the different OS and bit versions. You can upload your documents to SkyDrive from a Vista 32 bit and download them on a 64-bit of Windows 8, or even on a Mac.
For a real-life example, I created earlier today a PowerPoint presentation using a 32-bit Office PowerPoint 2010 on a 32-bit Windows Home Premium, uploaded to SkyDrive and later at home, downloaded on my Windows 8 Pro 64-bit and continued to edit with Office PowerPoint 2013.
Your files and documents "know not"what version of the program and the OS bits, they were created with. " Bit version is important when it comes programs and system files, not with your personal files and documents.

Hello
Depends on which edition of Vista you use on Windows 7 edition, you can switch to.
And as you use 32-bit, you can only switch to Windows 7 32 bit.
32-bit to 64-bit should be done with a clean install.
Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
