No problem. Do tell me if the method is working or not. Some of my friends successfully upgrade their Windows Vista through that method.

Just a question. If I have X86 original cd key for vista home premium, and I tend to upgrade to X64 version. Can the cd key of X86 used on the X64 version ?

i've the same question too, but after doing a few searches on the net, came up with this.

yeah, you can but it only can be used one at a time, not both at the same time. and seems like you've gotta call up MS to deactivate ur current x86 one so you can use it on the 64 bit OS.

If I'm not mistaken, you need to have a pre-installed version of Vista for you to upgrade to Windows 7.

I don't think there's *main* differences between Windows Vista and Windows 7. But what I do know is, Windows 7 is a turbocharged edition of Windows Vista, with performance tweak, an updated taskbar, aero effects, tweaked UAC, etc, other than that, Windows 7 behave like Windows Vista (with some minor differences).

Type cmd in Start menu search box and when the result appear, right-click and select Run as administrator.

Turn off UAC to make Command run using administrator privileges by default, but it's not recommended.

well, vista is still a memory hog.
gaming, i think u wait til w7 come out then u change to w7 la, since vista is going to be yesterday's history once w7 is out.
any gaming requires good ram wif good proc and good GC, so juz get ready ur wallet enough.

I u want use vista make sure use the ori one.
pirated vista feels suck.being unable to receive performance update makes u feel the same of early days of vista.
vista sp2 with full updates is very efficient actually[compared to non-updated pirated copy]
