VU to Win 7
« on: July 09, 2009, 01:17:20 PM »
I think I know the answer to this but I have Vista Ultimate 32bit, if I get the Win 7 upgrade and install will I be given the option to move to 64bit or am I stuck with 32bit unless I get the Full version?

32 or 64 - your choice and the early ordering ends in the US the 11th of July.

I am pretty sure the legal answer is no.  To upgrade your 32 bit Vista it has to go to 32 bit Windows 7.  There are illegal ways, but those aren't topics discussed here.

According to Microsoft here:

Ways exist to do it from XP 32-bit to Vista 64-bit, but it is a special circumstance that needs particular installation instructions to be valid and "legal". I have to assume that the same will hold true for Vista to Windows 7. Check the link above for details regarding this issue.

Thanks for that clarifying link, BV.  This will come in handy for myself and some friends.
