Can I upgrade to windows vista home Premium 32 bit on 64-bit operating system
Im running windows 7 Home premium on opus 64-bit system. Can I upgrade to windows vista Home premium 32-bit...
Hello
This is not an upgrade from Windows 7 to Vista.
It is a downgrade that Vista is the previous operating system before Windows 7 came out and you would have to BUY a COMPLETE of Vista version and do a fresh install of Vista; but before you buy Vista, check first that your computer manufacturer provides the Vista drivers for your model computer.
Microsoft sells more Vista; Try Amazon.com.

What is the largest HDD size that can be used with Windows Vista Home Premium
Can you tell me this as the largest capacity hard drive that can be used in a computer Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit with an Intel Centrino Duo 1.6 GHz processor. The laptop came with a 160 GB HARD drive.
Largest you can currently buy and probably larger that your mother/hardware card takes in charge.
~ 18 exabytes.
Your limit is probably more capped by material (and possibly the cost) than the software. :-)

I searched this forum and almost all resources on the net for days now nothing works. Give the message to a thread more appropriate that I couldn't find one that is truly representative and am a newb at this.
Summary of the problem: Bluetooth connectivity does not work properly after the window Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 and 2 installation (SP 1 and 2).
My system:
Laptop Dell Inspiron E1705, 32-bit Winows Vista Home Premium SP2, Dell Wireless Bluetooth 355 Module + EDR 2.0
* My system was purchased in 2006 with Windows XP, but was not entitled to a free Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade I did. I installed Windows Service Pack 1 and 2 about a week ago.
Problem: After downloading and installing the Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 and 2 (SP 1 and 2), my system does not recognize my Bluetooth (a touch of Sprint also) device known as the HTC Vogue. I stress that I have not had any problems with this device before downloads. I can't revert to the pre - SP State 1 and 2 because my system restore does not have these points more.
I have read several posts on various sites about people having similar problems with Bluetooth connectivity after the Vista SP 1 and 2 facilities. The problem is obviously the need for an updated driver. I went to the site to download driver Dell and the Blueooth only updates available are the following. (Note: these drivers all date from 2006 and 2007).
I had these installed before the SP 1 and 2 have been installed and they worked very well. After the upgrade, these drivers do not work. They won't recognise BT devices. I tried to upgrade the drivers by using update Broadcom suggested below it, but an error of following installation to contact Dell.
http://www.Broadcom.com/support/Bluetooth/update.php
I contacted Dell via e-mail and on the phone, but they want to charge me $60 for a one time service call just to talk about the problem because my warranty has expired. Provide updated drivers is not a problem of security in my opinion. Even after explaining the situation, their continuous support to just send me the link to download Driver Dell above with out-of-date drivers. I guess that's what they are charged to do, they do not have to admit a problem of compatibility. This obviously the same link they would charge $60 to send. I explained that I need just a Bluetooth Driver from Dell to at least version 6.3. Needless to say, I will never buy another Dell product.
On my end, I tried to uninstall my current drivers and then by installing a newer driver to support Gateway (Version 6.2.1.500 for and Acer). This allows me to install some parts of this update and the update Broadcom. However, it is not a perfect installation and expires after about 90% saying "this update is not for this system" because it is the gateway not Dell to be provided. Displays the version of the driver on my computer is Version 6.3.5.430 after doing this, but it is not a complete installation and some features are not available.
Does anyone have experience with this issue? I would like to have a link with some bluetooth drivers generic Version 6.3 type which will allow me to use the Broadcom link to upgrade to the last version that works with Vista SP 1 and 2.
Thank you for your help.

How can I reinstall my windows vista Home premium 32
Mr. Michael-thanks for the reply and help... but I need more... I decided to reinstall my windows vista family 32-bit premium, now I work with vista full... like I said u before I think it is not legal...

my lap top is Toshiba...
Thank youhttp://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp
Toshiba support
Contact Toshiba and ask them to send you a set of recovery Vista disc/s.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
Then reinstall Vista with them.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See if you still have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall vista home Premium.Try this and see if it works:
Toshiba Recovery:
To access the recovery partition Toshiba, powering the laptop. Press 0 (zero) key and turn on the laptop. Keep holding down the zero key until the TOSHIBA logo, which is where you should start to type the zero key repeatedly. Stop if the device emits a sound signal or when the TOSHIBA logo disappears. The screen should light up * MODE of RECOVERY of HARD drive * for a fraction of a second, and then load the Toshiba Recovery program directly from the hard drive.
Note that this clears all data and reload all the software factory default. Be sure to back up all your important personal data beforehand!

Hello
IAM doing the free upgrade from windows vista home premium to windows7 home premium but with no luck please help.
Migration: Windows XP and Vista
First, Windows XP and Windows Vista are not eligible versions for the free update, so you should have to buy a full version license.
Buy Windows 10 family/professional edition
In addition, Windows XP and Vista users will need to perform a custom installation, any attempt to start the installation of Windows 10 in legacy versions of Windows will trigger the following error message:
Learn more: how: perform a customized Windows installation
Keep in mind, the restoration works in Windows 10 can't stand not installs custom, so if you decide to go back to Windows XP or Vista, you have to reinstall it using original reinstall media. So try to create a backup of your installation, if it is important for you.
