Is there a 64bit version for all Vista options? Is there a 64bit version for all Vista options like Basic, Business, Home, Home Advanced, Ultimate, etc.?

Dear Dr. Nick, Thanks a lot for this fine question! All versions, 32 Bit and 64 Bit Editions, are delivered on a single DVD. However, the Microsoft Windows Vista Starter Edition is delivered only in 32 Bit version I think if my memory is good! Well, I have 16 Go of memory in my computer so I should have a good memory... When you buy a licence for an Edition (the Business one for instance), you can install the 32 Bit or the 64 Bit Edition as well (only one install at a time). I saw today the Vista RTM for Entreprise and it rocks!!! Best Regards. Vincent Courtois, France.

I use Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit.But any version of Windows 7 will be great.I loved my Windows XP Professional version. But Win7 rocks! I mean it .....Windows Vista sucks. It always has from the get-go. I went from XP straight to Win7 and never lookin' back.I even prefer Win7 to Win8. Win8 is like a smartphone system.This LG drive works super great & I know it will for years to come. It's very quiet.I got it solely for it's Lightscribe ability. I already had the Lightscribe software, so this was a perfect choice.It actually was THE ONLY place I could find a SATA connected CD/DVD drive that ALSO has thecapability to burn images on the top side of the disc's with Lightscribe burning technology. I still highly rec' this item. I use Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit.But any version of Windows 7 will be great.I loved my Windows XP Professional version. But Win7 rocks!

Mine came with 64bit, but was advertised that way. It came with the discs for both versions.

The simple answer is yes. I'm running Windows 7 64bit Professional. Ultimate is about the same thing...you have a few more bells and whistles than I do; but they are essentially similar.

The CPU is x64 based processor so I am going to take a wild guess, Yes Windows 8 should be 64bit as well otherwise it will not recognize the entire 4GB anyway but I highly doubt it will be Pro Edition... Most likely Home Edition. --Edit There is no such thing as Home, there is 8/8.1 and 8/8.1 Pro but it is comparable to the home vs pro in previous versions of Windows.

Chris, Did you upgrade your 32bit Vista (1410 with Core2 Solo) to 64bit Windows 7? I am thinking of doing the same thing (if I can get 64bit OS from Acer), so did you do a clean install? Thanks for any feedback.

I held off a long time for the same reason. Rest assured, Vista 64 compatibility was added with the the Power Pack 1 (think SP 1) which also corrected the data corruption problem and added other features. Note, it is a pain as you have to first install from a 32-bit operating system before you can install under Vista 64-bit. In other words, I had to connect my girlfriend's laptop with Vista 32 and start the install before I could ultimately connect my Vista 64 desktop to the EX470. It does work though and I love this product. I'm backing-up automatically, set up a photo share for my friends to access, can trade files with friends and serve all my music / video files to my Xbox 360s over powerline ethernet adapters. I recommend upgrading memory from 512mb to 2gb (HP has lifted warranty restriction against this).

Yes, I have been running it on W7 64bit since it came out.Just clean out the old drivers, go to their site and download new drivers.

what is the 64 bit version?...all i know, is that i use this little beast all the time in a program (vst) called Fruity Loops Studio 10 on a netbook that's running Windows 7 starter (worse possible version of win7) and it operates just fine.

I use Norton Internet Security 2009. I had an extra license as you get 3 with each purchase. I got it for $20 via pricegrabber.com. At the time, only a few security suites support 64 bit vista. The 2009 version doesn't slow down your system like previous versions of Norton. For sure, someone will say it's a resource hog. It's simply not the case for the 2009 version.

Yes, I installed it on a 32 bit Windows Vista system and it has performed perfectly for almost a year (my brothers computer). The installation per instructions was easy and I encountered no interface problems.

HiI have recently bought a new Laptop which uses the Vista operating system. And so far have had no problems installing games. Many of the games I play are old 2005-7 and all seem to run no problems. Also newer games such as Age of Empires and Medieval Total War II are running well under Vista

All of our Windows will be 64-bit unless it is being installed on a system with a 32-bit processor.In this case it will be 64-bit.Thank you

I don't know for a fact (or from experience), but 64-bit driver support for Vista usually includes Windows 7 and vice-versa. I think it will work.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit beta version. It is so much nicer that Vista. I upgraded originally from XP Pro to Vista Business. Am I eligible for the upgrade for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit? (since my vista business is an upgrade) and i don't want to re do my computer again. I just put the beta version on, will there be a way to just put in the cd key? Thanks

Hi,I still have the packaging and it lists Windows Vista as a supported OS, it also lists Windows 7 (no mention of 32 or 64 bit) but I can confirm it works well with Windows 7 64-bit.Hope this helps you in taking the plunge.Listiel W.
