Nope, nothing of the sort. I have two 250gb HDD on my laptop, one says 163 free space and the other 201, so surely they are on there somewhere?

Quick questions...
- Do the upgrade discs include both 32 and 64bit versions?
- If both versions aren't included, would I be able to aquire the 64bit version and use the serial key from the 32bit version?
Merci
I bought the Home Premium upgrade disc and it came with both 32 and 64 bit versions so I would have thought the Ultimate version would too.

Excellent
I have read on a few websites that this is the case, but the disc quite clearly says 32bit and no mention of anything else. I'll give it a try first.
I think the Home basic version is the only one with no 64bit version. Too many versions!!!
Thanks Pat. Awesome name btw!!

Just the one
Looking more online, it seems the key will work with both versions so I have a few options now.
If none work then I'll settle for the 32bit version, I'll not use it on my i7 PC and leave the early build on that one I have working currently.

Been using Win 7 for a few weeks now and love it but the the only strange thing is that as fast as it boots up, my system seems to take longer to shut down than with my old Win XP.

Been looking to upgrade from Vista to 7 for a while now but somehow managed to miss out on the student £30 offer. 
Anyone know what sort of price I'll be looking at for Home Premium?

Can I upgrade from 64-Bit VISTA Ultimate to 64-Bit Win 7 Ultimate and still keep all my files intact? I have the disc and retail key ready to rock, but knowing my luck it'll all go Pete Tong and strawberry float up!
