Hello There. I have couple questions.

I am trying to buy Vista 64bit OEM DVD (Home Premium version).

But I am wondering...

Can I install Vista 32bit by using 64bit OEM DVD and License?

I heard that 64bit version of DVD includes 32bit version on Vista.

Is this true?

If it is true, does Vista ask me to choose 32bit or 64bit while installing process?

Thanks in Advance.

Matt.
 
no if you buy a 32 bit you cant install a 64 bit version of vista. if the
dvd says 32 bit it will install only a 32 bit vista.

Sorry, but no. The retail DVDs offer one this choice, but not the OEM
DVDs.

Thanks everyone !!!!

Now I am very clear that I have to buy Vista 32bit Home Premium OEM DVD for
my need.

Vista 64bit is very tempting but I am not ready, yet.


Thank you very much!

Sorry but Not an OEM. Only the Retail version of the Vista Ultimate is applicable to do what you are asking
 
This applies only to Ultimate.

Aleko, the product key is valid for both the 32 bit and the 64 bit version
and if he finds a disk he can install any one of those (but not 2 of them as
the same time) with that product key he owns
