Vista x64

[vamitrou]

Hi all,

I have a vaio VGN-FW21M notebood and I am wondering if possible to upgrade to Windows Vista x64. Right now I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium x86.

Thanks in advance.

edit: The drivers located here are for the x86 only?

No one has try this?

practically you only need a copy of vista 64 and drivers (most of the x86 should work, but it's not recommended). you simply have to reinstall the system using your windows serial code from the downside of your notebook. that's all.

There are most drivers for Vista 64-bit here: -

but you will need to try to find others from manufacturers websites.

You will lose all your preinstalled Utilities/Applications and all other software.

Probably some functions will not work.

You must BUY a 64-bit version of Vista - the serial key on the bottom of your Vaio will NOT activate a 64-bit system.
