[Vista] Install 64 bit over 32 bit without doing a clean install in Microsoft Help http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20668094 en Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:48:06 EDT Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:48:06 EDT Re: [Vista] Install 64 bit over 32 bit without doing a clean ins http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20668310 MrMaster : Sigh. 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.

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20668163 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:40:34 EDT [Vista] Install 64 bit over 32 bit without doing a clean install http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20668094 MrMaster : 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?
