Hi all!
I've currently a laptop with Vista 32 bit ( regularly activated ).
My CPU supports 64 bit instruction format so I want to increase RAM and install Windows 8 x64.

Is it possible??
There is a way to do this with only an Upgrade disc?

Thanks in advance for all the answers :)

You can do a clean install, but you need to delete the old Windows install.
