Eligibility for Vista x64 media

[Victek]

Hello,

I'm interested in getting a copy of Vista x64 and wonder if I qualify? I
got my copy of Vista Business x86 through the Power Together program a
couple of years ago. There's no information on the packaging about
acquiring 64 bit media. Do you know if this version is eligible? TIA

as far as I know only retail copies can go both 32 bit and 64 bit...

so I guess you will have to ask microsoft if you can do that..
since you got your copy for free


I wonder if anyone who got a free copy from the beta program has tried going
to 64 bit..

perhaps if they could, then you can too

I'm aware of that web page. Unfortunately I receive an error when I try to
order the media. Perhaps my key is not acceptable, but it only says "an
error as occurred so I can't be certain.

Sorry, but alternative media is only for those who have purchased full
retail versions. Microsoft freebies are always OEM versions, so
alternative media is not available to you.
