    I want to do a clean install on my laptop once I get it in a few days. I can't find anywhere to get an anytime upgrade disc online. I would prefer to purchase rather than downloading it. Anyone know where I can get the disc. I know that all the versions of vista are on the one disc but I will have Home premium 64 bit edition if that helps. please help me find one of these discs, thanks.

    All Vista versions are on the same disk, i.e. Basic, Home, Ultimate, etc.

    BUT, there are TWO different "Vista Anytime Upgrade Discs", one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit.

    The Upgrade Disc in your link ONLY contains the 32-bit Vista versions.

    o, i see. well then I just can't find a 64 bit disc for a reasonable price. I've seen in other threads people saying they can be found for less than $15. I 'm just not finding such merchandise anywhere.
