    Windows Vista 64bit media for 3XS system

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how I can get hold of the Windows Vista 64-bit media/software? Can SCAN provide this for me?

    I currently have a 3XS system which came with Vista 32-bit installed and recently upgraded to 4GB of RAM with a view to installing a 64 bit OS.

    I'm under the impression that my product key for Vista 32-bit is also valid for the 64-bit install (please correct me if i'm wrong).

    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

    Hi Tom

    Our Vista systems were sold with OEM Vista and therefore if you needed a 64Bit Version you would have to purchase this, I would recommend that you buy the Windows 7 Home Premium Retail though as this comes as a 64 or 32 Bit version and is faster and far more stable

    Thanks Ben, I had a feeling that might be the case.
