    I am just a newbie in here. I am running a 64-bit Vista o my computer now and want to install WHS on it as well. Will there be any problem as I've have both 32-bit and 64-bit OS in the same computer??

    Should I just overwrite WHS on top of Vista and use 1 OS only??

    Thanks in advance

    If you really want to get the most of WHS you would have it running all the time, if you have it on a dual boot machine then you cannot use any of the features of WHS while you are using the other OS.

     

    WHS is not designed to be used as an every day OS like Vista or XP, it is designed to act as a server and sit quietly in the corner doing what its designed to do. If you try and use it as an everyday OS and try and install "normal" software on it, you should be aware that it can break.
