Installing windows vista ultimate 64 bit on windows 7 64 bit laptop?

Going from 32 bit to 64 bit requires a clean install. Quote from the Microsoft Windows 7 FAQ: You can use the Upgrade option during Windows 7 installation, which preserves your files, settings, and programs, only if you're currently running a 32-bit version of Windows Vista and you want to upgrade to the 32-bit version of Windows 7. Similarly, if you are running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, you can only perform an upgrade to a 64-bit version of Windows 7.

For more information, go to Upgrading to Windows 7: frequently asked questions on the Windows website. If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or vice versa, you'll need to back up your files and choose the Custom option during Windows 7 installation. Then, you'll need to restore your files and reinstall your programs.
