I preordered Win7 Professional 64 bit back in July, 2009...Thought I had ordered the full version, received the update, and having XP I needed to do a full reinstall which I attempted, but it wouldn't activate. I used my wife's Dell Vista Home re-install disk to put the 32 bit system on a new hard drive, then upgraded the Vista install to Win7 64bit with no problems, it did create a folder called Windows000 for the old settings, which can be deleted.
I figured while I was doing this, I should get the "Configuring Windows 7 Training Kit" book and pass the MCTS 70-680 exam. It states in the book, "You can't upgrade from Vista 32 bit to Win 7 64 bit". I did and you can... Has anyone else out there tried this?
I did submit an error/change to Microsoft, but I'll never hear back from Bill...
