Upgrading to 64-bit- How?

[Richard G. Harper]

If you bought a retail copy of Vista it should have included information on
how to obtain the 64-bit version paying only shipping and handling charges.

Both 32-bit and 64-bit discs are included in retail copies of Vista Ultimate
Edition.

If you bought an OEM version, or got one from your computer manufacturer,
there is no free 64-bit upgrade unless they tell you there is one.
Otherwise you're stuck with what you bought.

And in any case there is no way to actually upgrade any 32-bit version of
Windows to any 64-bit version, never has been. It'll have to be a clean
install.

I've been waiting for an update about how I can switch from 32-bit to 64-bit
Windows Ultimate. Is there anyone to call or email or visit via the Web
where I can get the supposedly free upgrade as a registered user?

Thanks for your help and ideas.
