Hello,
What is needed to upgrade Sony 32 bit to a 64 bit? OR do I even need to upgrade my 32 bit machines?
I have a HP laptop with 64 bit (Windows 7)
I have two Sony 32 bit (vista)
Can they "talk" to each other and run same programs using NEW Windows 7?
 
No need to change anything.

Only if you have a program explicitly designed for 64 bit( There are very few of these. )
would you have a problem running it on a 32 bit os.

If, for whatever reason, you wanted to change vista from 32 bit to 64 bit, you would have to do a clean install of the 64 bit version of the os. You can use the oem key that you already have on each 32 bit machine.
