    Resolved [RESOLVED] Can you upgrade?

    Can you do a upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit?

    Or if not can you do a repair from 32 to 64?

    Thanks

    It usually not practical to "upgrade". Too many changes are needed.

    Unfortunately it has to be a clean install -- you can't install it as an upgrade from within Vista x86 (or XP x86 either).
    Safe computing is a habit, not a toolkit.
