When I reformatted my laptop, I wanted to put a fresh clean version of
Vista on there - without all the HP junk. I acquired a CD with Vista -
32 bit and used the COA number on the bottom of the machine to install.
The COA number was for the 64 bit. I installed the 32 bit version
with the 64 bit number just to test the hardware. I updated windows
andit worked fine. Then once I got the 64 bit version, I did the same
thing with no problems. Now the laptop is in the field being used
constantly and updating.
I want to make the following perfectly clear, this is NOT a pirated
version of Vista Home. There is a valid OEM COA on the bottom of the
machine.
Why did the 64 bit number work for the 32 bit version?
