Vista Home Premium

N

newbie

Just bought laptop that is coming w/Vista Home Premium because I have very
important software that won't run properly on my XP Media. No one can tell
me if Vista Home Premium is 64-bit or 32-bit. Program will not run on Vista
64. Need to know if I should buy Windows XP Home and load that before I load
this program. Have had enough trouble to last a lifetime already! HELP!

Vista Home Premium is 32 bit. You might have to change some file properties
to run as administrator. Check the forums for the software you are trying to
run - a lot of times other uses will post info.

Vista Home Premium, like all Vista versions, comes in both 64-bit and
32-bit editions. If you don't know which you're running, it's almost
certain to be the 32-bit one. There are just about no laptops
(including the very many that have 64-bit hardware) that come with
64-bit Vista preinstalled.
