[Vista] Install 64 bit over 32 bit without doing a clean install Sorry everyone, didn't find anything useful on google or here. Plenty of stuff on 32 bit over 64 bit. So can I install Vista 64 bit over my 32 bit version without having to reinstall everything from scratch? Or at the very least not have to wipe my hard drive clean? -- One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done. -Marie Curie

Even if it did, I see a nightmare. 64-bit Vista separates alot of things by whether they are 32-bit or 64-bit programs - separate Program Files folders, etc.

If I would have only known that RAM would have gotten super cheap in only a matter of months I never would have bought the 32 bit version in the first place. I started doing some manual backups but I've got 300 gigs of stuff to sift through. Guess I have my work cut out for me. -- One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done. -Marie Curie
