Hey I have vista 32 home prem. I know if i want to use the 64 version of home prem i need to get a dvd. What i wanted to know is if there is a place to download it instead of ordering it thru the mail? Even though i have activated my home prem does my license cover the 64 bit version as well?

license key should be interchangable between 64-bit and 32-bit versions.

If you have a retail package, you can go to MS site and order 64-bit DVD for the price of postage. If you have an OEM DVD, then you're out of luck.

You might have some luck with torrents, but be careful to get the retail DVD or MSDN DVD, and not pre-cracked versions.

Thanks. i have a retail package. I was hoping there was a download link. I don't want to go the torrent route.
