    The windows.old folder will not have programs only data. For 2GB get x86/32-bit. Otherwise double the RAM if you know its type/frequency and install x64.

    New here but not to installing OS's. Burn off your apps and files to a dvd. Delete current partitions and do a clean run. It will install quickly and will have almost all of the drivers you'll need and/or will find them for you online. No probs....you'll be golden.

    Your code should work. Otherwise you'll have to reinstall. For a backup use Macrium Reflect Free to create an image of your pc and a boot disk. You can use this to reinstall Vista (theoretically ). Then I would advise a complete reformat, rather than the option you are considering.

i have found a Vista 64-bit Ultimate for $60 unused, which sounds like a great deal, but if i were to buy this could i pay a upgrade price to get windows 7 64-bit ultimate? and would it be worth it instead of just buying windows 7 new for full pop?
