From 32 bit to 64 bit ?

hey.

I have a 32 bit vista business how do i upgrade it to 64 bit ?

You can't. You must do a fresh install of the x64 edition, upgrading is not possible. You can upgrade from one x86 version to another, or from one x64 version to another, but not from x86 to x64.

Just in addition to above. You have to buy a seperate 64 bit install disk, 32 bit and 64 bit are seperate products and require seperate licences. Its like Vista N and XP N developed for Europe only release with media player unbundled, (also the product MS say are not selling) they are seperate to the "rest of world" release.

Please see the following Microsoft page for ordering alternative media (aka 64-bit if you own 32-bit ot 32-bit if you own 64-bit) at a substantialy reduced price (around $10 USD).
