Default [Q] Unlck bootloader problem Xperia S (Tilburg)

I just got an Xperia S, it's a great phone.
I had The Xperia X10 (unlocked bootloader, x10s rom doomkernel max overclock)
I want to unlock my bootloader but I cant get the drivers installed on mij X64 bit windows & pc.
I tried it for 2 day and read allod of posts here.
Can somebody please help me?
I'm Even Willing to PAY good money If someone helps me (of does it for me)

If someones willing please contact me and If you can do the unlocking (I live in Tilburg/the Netherlands) that would even be greater

Ok, I have that, I tried to root and unlock it the same as I did with the x10 it didn't work. Do I have to flash anything in flashtool? Follow the official unlock method (from Sony) or do something els?

Thanks for anwsering so quick buddy!!

I think you unlock x10 using something like easy 1 click similar stuff.

That method is not available with xperia s. As of now, the only way to root is to flash a pre root image. In order to do so, you need to unlock bootloader which also means, you will lose the DRM key.

You can get the full tutorial in the development section.
