I recently bought a new PC with Vista Home Premium pre-installed (it was the
32 bit version). I was thinking about installing Vista Home Premium 64 bit
instead. I went to Microsoft's update web site to order a 64 bit version of
Vista at a discounted price. I followed the directions and was told to type
the product code for Vista, which I found that on the PC itself. When I
submitted the the form it said my version was not qualified. My question is,
do I have to pay full retail price for the 64 bit version of Vista Home
Premium and why can't my pre-installed version qualify for the discounted
price or is this only for the ones bought off the store shelves.
-Thanks-
