If you have an OEM Vista x86 product key, OEM Vista x64 will not
accept the key and you will not be able to activate it. However, there
are documented ways of extending the activation grace period a
number of times. If you are working with retail versions, all is okay.

As far as the 64 bit CPU is concerned, 64 bit CPUs are now the norm,
and systems are usually sold with 32 bit Vista, so you would have to
specify that you wanted 64 bit Vista.

You can call Microsoft and get the 64-bit DVD for $25. It is worth it.

Microsoft will upgrade your 32-bit key to a 64-bit key. You will agree
to have them revoke your 32-bit key. I would make sure the trial
version is running on all hardware and software before doing this. It
is a pain to reverse it.

Re: Expanding Files- 1% per hour

Then where are you getting the 64 bit Installation Disk image from that you
are trying to copy?

Re: Expanding Files- 1% per hour


Is it an ISO file? .ISO? You need to use Burn Image in Nero to burn it
for a bootable DVD. Is this how you did it.

Re: Expanding Files- 1% per hour


After checking the link: It certainly seems strange that you can legally
download and activate a Vista release and activate it without every entering
a product key and that the installation will actually work.
