    Oke guys, tuesday i'm can get some OEM version of ALL vista's so Basic, PRemium, Ultimate 32&64 bit..

    so the things i want to know is:

    - Can i install a 64 Bit version on my laptop ( see signature) with me Reg key

    - I do want all HP aplications still on my laptop afterwards, like the hp battery sh*t, quicktouch, recovery manager, that stuff and the stuf for your webcam so it will work

    So which folder do i have to copy to have these stuff still on my clean install?

    and how i should do this?

    Regards,

    Jeremy

    if you use same version like the one you had, you can install the x64 version using that serial.

    as to the HP stuff, wouldn't know (look at the hp support site?)

    Jeremy - you should visit the HP/Compaq board for specific HP installation questions. Also - just to clarify things, you are asking if you can upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit, correct? It isn't possible to install the 32 bit and 64 bit versions at the same time on different machines.

    The HP board is a better place to ask about the required drivers and notebook system software necessary to get your HP up and running.

    I'm certain you don't need me to put a link to the HP board on this website, right?
