Changing vista-64 to vista-32 ???

Question

im a gamer , i found after searching that vista-64 is better for gamers ,

after 6 months of using 64 i have had enough , its making me crazy , most of games crash (some times before saving) ,

now i want to change to vista-32 , my vista package came with both CD's , but i sadly chose the 64 one , now , should i first remove the 64 ? is that by formatting ?

most important , when install the 32 , what will happen with my verification code (already used on 64) , buying a new one will be crazy ..

Answer 1

I wouldnt think you would have to buy a new one if it came with both discs, but keep in mind that 32bit only recognizes up to 3gb of ram.

Answer 2

You'll first have to remove the 64.

A clean installation will be required (there are other alternatives, but those are much more difficult to execute and can cause some problems).

The best you can hope for is to use the Easy Transfer

Wizard to migrate settings and such.

Don't worry about the verification code.
