I have a very unique situation. Long story short, I bought a vista home premium 32bit laptop and had it replaced with a vista home premium 64bit laptop under warranty. Somehow I lost the recovery disc for my current laptop(the 64bit) so I used the 32bit recovery disc to reinstall the os. It works fine, except of course now I only have 3gig ram instead of 4, and some of my drivers aren't compatible. My question is, is there any way of installing the 64bit version of vista home premium on my computer using the 32bit recovery disc? I have heard that all I need is the vista disc and my 64bit product key, but it never asks for a product key during installation.
