Install vista 64 on top of 32???

Just got my vista 64 cd from ms, ordered from the 32 retail insert. How should I install this 64? Over the 32, or clean? And... can you reinstall 32 back if 64 doesnt work out i.e. software & drivers. Can you just keep installing 32 over 64, then back to 32? Anyone ever tried this? I did a clean install from xp to vista32, but I hate to do a clean from 32 to 64 since I have vista tweaked just the way I want it. A clean install would mean re tweaking everything. But if a clean is what it takes, so be it. And, how bout activating (going between 32 and 64), any issues or limits???
Anyone ever dual boot 32 and 64? Possible???
 
You cannot go from a 32bit version of the OS to the 64bit version. There was a chart awhile ago which showed which upgrade combinations were possible.
 
Clean install only, I just upgraded my iq770 yesterday from V32 to V64 so I know the clean install isn't ideal. Vienna should support 32 to 64 migration, but alas for now your stuck...
 
Sticking with the 32. A couple of software issues...
One, I use and love windows live onecare, its by windows but does not work in the 64 bit (go figure).
I also use video download sevices (vongo, movielink, others) and walmarts download service movie manager will not work in the 64 version. Too bad... Oh well...
