Basic disks vs. dynamic, in 64 - bit Windows 7?

HP Pavilion P7-1235, Windows 7, 64-bit

I "shrunk" my drive "C:\". "and created a basic data partition (E, unused space resulting.)

QUESTION:

It is worth is to convert these partitions to Dynamic Volumes?

Is there a performance advantage?

What are the benefits?

What are the disadvantages?

Thanx

Hard drive recovery system (general) does not work after changing the sort of partitioning scheme.

    You have FOUR partitions on the hard drive.

    There is a system partition that is hidden on the front of the main road.

    The problem with adding a partition, except for what you have already experienced, is that the use of the partition or recovery from recovery discs from the recovery partition would WIPE OUT any partition created by you, and all THE data on that partition.

    If you are looking for a place to keep backups, get an external hard drive.

    OEM machines are not set up for change. They are set up to make it easy for the user to restore the operating system in its entirety, drivers and support programs, in the case of a major accident.

    You can have a maximum of 4 primary partitions. If you already have 4 of these windows will convert your drive on a dynamic volume that is NOT recommended. To resolve this issue, you must convert one of your primary partition in an extended partition. The extended partition can have many more logical drives. Windows Disk Manager is unable to do this without losing the data, but the third-party programs such as Acronis Disk Director can.

    I have two 500 GB Hard Drive attached to my PC running Windows 7.

    I want the software Drive (d :)) [hard drive] should be saved automatically on the other hard drive. I learned a lot from the internet about mirrored dynamic disks in volume. in this case, I need to convert the two hard disks dynamic disk.

    My question is, are at - it another way to make a record of mirror on the disk on the secondary hard drive without converting the main hard drive on the dynamic disk? [I have no problem to convert the second hard disk to dynamic disk, but I don't want the first hard to convert to dynamic disk].

    If it is not possible through Windows, is it any 3rd party software to make a backup without soldering to a different disk without conversion to dynamic disk drive?

  • XPS 400 can not read a disk of 64-Bit Windows 10

    I have a XPS 400 desktop computer that currently runs the 32-bit version of the operating system Windows 10 Insider Preview. In control panel - system, it is said that my XPS 400 has a "32-bit operating system, x 64 processor system" but when I put a new Windows 10 64-bit in the CD player and have it start and wait until he asks me to press any button in the BIOS it loads the logo and after a while the CD Player stops just and nothing beyond that happens. In the BIOS I tried to make F12 - boot to SATA drive but when I do try to read and then it just starts as he normally does, ignoring completely the disc. How can I have my XPS 400 read and install 10 64 - bit disk windows? Or y at - it another way, I could have run 10 64-bit Windows?

    64 bit versions of windows 8.1 and 10 require more than NX to work. Another question, I found with of MANY older valleys, it's that the area code is not on the DVD. What causes some localized versions of DVD not working but CD XP works because there is no CD region code. In the case of the XPS400 you have need a pentium D 900 series CPU Pressler and the latest version of the bios.  915 to 960 will work as long as you have the copper heat sink. XPS 400/Dimension 9150 does not support the newer processors like the Intel Core 2 duo processor.  There is really no point to the 64-bit version of windows on a XPS 400 due to limitations of the system ram. Commercial versions of windows 8.1 family or Pro come with support 32-bit and 64-bit so this isn't a problem.

    Dell Dimension system BIOS A07 see details

    XP051A07. EXE Windows/DOS (514 KB)

    The Pressler 900 vs Smithfield 800 series series can do LAHF and SAHF as well as CMPExchange16 which means that it works very well if you have a Pentium 900 series D.  This means that you can run 64-bit windows 7, 8 or 10 very well.  RAM can be used Max will always be 3.25 GB regardless of cpu or os to 64-bit or not.  There is a limit of chipset.   The Precision 380 is better than the XPS400 due to support new chipsets and 8 GB of ram.

    I got my 8.1 upgrade pro at the time where it was $ 38.  If they want to they should buy immediately because there won't be any in the future.

    WINDOWS 8.0 is depricated and 8.1 framed Purple House and blue box 8.1 pro are available throughout the retail options.

    After July 31, 2015 8.x can be gone for always as well be replaced by Windows 10.

    Pentium D 915 are very cheap as copper heat sink.  The license of ram and windows are expensive parts.  You update the bios to the last can change the CPU and replace the thermal compound.  The Dual core pentium D is an improvement.

  • Can win 7 32-bit Home Basic Upgrade to 10 64-bit windows?

  • Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit > Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit?

    Just a question, I currently have Vista Home Premium 32 Bit OEM and want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.  When you buy an upgrade pack does with Versions 32 and 64 BIT, I understand not doing a clean install, etc..  but the DVD with this capability upgrade?  as far as I can see the comments are widespread, and State if the disk used for the upgrade is a full version or an upgrade copy.   Because I would rather buy the upgrade on a whole new pack of detail for reasons of $.

    Yes, this full and updated details to level version boxed packages include records of 32 and 64-bit.

    Upgrade paths:
    When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

    If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. Also, you can make the downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

    Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate
    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate
    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition
    Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise
    Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Although 64-bit Windows * fact * supports more RAM than 32-bit, it is not
    necessarily true that the extra RAM will improve your performance in
    all. It depends on what applications run you, but for the most part, the 3 people. 1 GB
    (approximate) that you can use with 32 bit is enough and more
    will give little or no improvement in performance.

    > I have been informed by DELL that I can just update rather than fill a clean update?

    You or the other person got at Dell who didn't know what he was talking
    about, or you misunderstood what he said. It is * not * true. The only one
    is to change the number of 'bits' of Windows by a new installation.

    If you want to go to 64-bit, you have no other choice than to a cleaning
    installation.

  • How can I disable the warning "this connection is not approved", which appears almost each time I try to go to a Web page via Firefox? I use 10 64-bit Windows.

    I just upgraded to 10 64-bit Windows. The version of Firefox that works now on this OS regularly displays a blocking window that told me that "this connection is not approved" when I try to connect to a third-party site. A screenshot of the window copy is attached. How to disable this warning? I can't continue to use Firefox if I can't find the 'off' switch, which so far has escaped me.

    Yes, this is the feature, and it is lit.

    How it works, is that ESET intercepts all your browser connections to filter the content. If it is an HTTP connection, it is transparent. For an HTTPS connection, ESET must present a certificate of 'false' for Firefox site so it can be the "man in the middle" and decipher and read the answer (otherwise, it's gibberish, of course).

    ESET is supposed to insert his signature certificate in both the Windows certificate store (used by IE and Chrome) separated from Firefox AND the browser certificate store accepts the false certificates. But it does not always work. In this case, you can import the certificate manually in Firefox. If all goes well, which has been covered in the manual, but otherwise it's basically along these lines:

    (1) search or save a copy of the ESET signature certificate (it is a file in DER format that usually has the .cer extension). Is your second screen shot what appears when you click View Certificate? Try this:

    • Click the Details tab, click the button "Copy to File. This will start the Export Wizard.
    • In the wizard, choose the DER format and save in a suitable location (for example, your Documents folder).

    (2) import the file into Firefox as follows:

    • In Firefox, open the Certificate Manager to:
      "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > mini-onglet Certificates > "view certificates" button.
    • Click on mini - the References tab, then on the 'Import' button and find the DER file. Note: I suggest allowing the certificate for websites only.

    I have attached a few screenshots of reference sample.

    Hello everyone

    I have a Satellite A500 - 15M, with a Windows 7 32 bit running on which has been upgraded from Windows Vista 32 - bit by Upgrade DVD from Toshiba sent me in January.

    I need to have my Windows 7 64 bit instead of 32 bit. I searched the internet on it, and I discovered that I can't do that unless I have a new copy of Windows, but the only disks I have are the Windows Vista RECOVERY DVD and the DVD of Windows 7 upgrade.

    Is it possible to get a new copy of Windows Vista 64-bit of my restore DVD, and then upgrade to Windows 7? Or do I need a DVD of 64-Bit Windows?

    I really appreciate your cooperation.

    Hello

    According to specification for laptop, your laptop comes with Vista 32 bit and 64-bit dual boot.
    If you have created recovery disks it will be interesting to know how many DVDs to disc you have.

    For example, on my Satellite A500-157 I have 4 DVD discs. In other words, I have a recovery disc for 32 and 64 bit Vista. When you start the first DVD, you will be asked which version you want to install.
    Please check if it works also with your recovery discs.

    If you have this option install Vista 64-bit on your laptop and use subsequently updated DVD and try to upgrade to Win7 64-bit.

    If please test and let me know if it works for you.
    Based on your response, we will seek the next solution for you.

    Hello
    Then about a month ago I bought a Toshiba Qosimo F60, which gave me the choice when I first turned it on between 32 and 64-bit Windows 7.

    Not knowing too much about the difference at the moment where I just took 32-bit but now after having read up on this issue, I realize that may have been a mistake...

    What I want to know is if there's any way I can still install 64 bit Windows 7 without buying a CD
    (Laptop did not come with one)
    Don't know what the CD key no longer. ..

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure because my Qosmio F60 was delivered with Windows 7 64 bit only, but I have read in other threads that you can have the two recovery disk (32 and 64 bit) when you start Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.
