Windows Vista x64 discs

[kwschs]

Haven't been around much in the last two days except my laptop because my comp died.

I rebuilt a new comp, very nice etc, but I cant find the vista x64 discs that came with my other computer. I dont wanna use the 32bit discs I have , as i like running 64bit much better since im using 8gigs of ram.

I was wondering if anyone had a x64 disc I could borrow, or burn me a copy?

Well, I'd hate to send it to ya and prolly lose it on the postal way... the chances are high... I think. But I could burn it though.... however, I'm not sure, if that's legal...

Anyway, can I use a key from a 32 bit edition for a 64 bit edition?

I can get you a 32bit key i have an extra one from a pc i havent built that i plan on using the x64 on.

The cd wont get lost in the mail lol, and i can paypal you the cost of shipping , really need haha.

Its legal to make a copy i belive but no point if your able to ship and you dont mind :thumbsup:

Depending on the version of vista (OEM or Retail) you might not be able to use a 64 bit key. Retail copies work fine either way, but the OEM ones are tied to the specific version.

:thumbsup: Thats also true

Dammit! Guess il have to buy a 64bit version then.

I've used a OEM Dell key on a downloaded 64-bit installation of Vista. Works fine. Even student-license keys work on both versions.

Where did you download it though? I can't find a secure source.

Ill use a torrent if you can give me a secure link that works 100%

You can request a 64-bit DVD from Microsoft if you have the 32-bit key.
