Bro’s trying to install Vista 64 bit, and the copy he has isn’t exactly legitimate ( ;). hint it starts with the word T and ends with ents) He needs to know
how to install it (he’s already running vista that came with his laptop, and knows how to use daemon tools etc etc.)
how to install to not lose previous data ie files, programs that are on the 32 so they can still be used on the 64 bit. Like use an external drive?
would he need to partition his drives in order to install it?
how to make the 64bit his main operating system.
he’s got 4GB of RAM, and the 32 is limited to 3 GB like XP
Any advice, or something to be aware of while installing it, completing installation. Anything else you l33t would do?
So you wanted to change it to 64 bit only due to get full RAM usage, right?
I also had such thing once I upgraded my RAMs to 4GB 2 years ago.
You can only install the x64 version of Vista if you have a 64-bit processor.
So first check if you have 64 bit processor.
Using 32 bit programs under 64 bit is not possible.
Having two vistas is also not possible may be using some pre boot softwares and on different partitions. ( I havent tested it)
Daemon tools is a thing to create a virtual drive and load the image files on that if you dont want to extract them. I dont know what use you want to make of it.
Well, as ^^ said you need a processor that supports 64 bit OS. You can’t do an “in place” upgrade, so it has to be from scratch.
As for apps I haven’t had any issues with running any of my 32bit applications, and you should know I use a lot of applications (there are always exceptions and old old apps).
