Can I install my [Upgrade Windows XP] [Windows 7 Upgrade] - to - [Windows 7 Upgrade]?
On both computers we got at home (my wife and me)
We both had Windows XP it Upgrade (Legit)
Was wondering if if I can * PRE-ORDER 2 Windows 7 UPGRADE * and well... upgrade from my current windows xp.
If yes I will preorder 2 copies today... always thought that you needed a full version of the operating system to use an upgrade after... perhaps things have changed... Hope so.
Thank you already!

Hi Nathan,
Welcome to the Microsoft community.
According to the description, it looks like you want to install Windows 8 32 on a 64-bit computer.
Yes, but you can do this using Upgrade Wizard. If your PC has a 64-bit compatible processor (CPU), but is running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can install a 64-bit version of Windows 8 Pro, but you will need to buy it on DVD and perform a custom installation. It is available in your country or region, you can buy Windows 8 Pro at a participating retail store. You can also buy online at the Microsoft Store in Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States.
Please note that the Windows 8 Pro Pack is used for the upgrade of Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro and is not for the installation of multiple architectures and doesn't include any media. If you want to change the architectures, buy Windows 8 Pro.
You will not be able to keep all the files, settings, or the apps when you upgrade a 32-bit to a 64-bit version.

XI of Acrobat can be installed on a Windows PC where CS4 (including Acrobat 9 Pro) is installed?
I have already learned by Adobe technical support included in CS4 applications cannot be upgraded individually, and my guess would be that XI Acrobat and Acrobat 9 Pro can coexist on the same computer. But I wanted to check and make sure.

The upgrade to Windows XP?
Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.
Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).
More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.
1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.
2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.
3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.
4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."
5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.
If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

How can I install windows7 alongside windows 8 on a pc of UEFI firmware
I've been a fan of windows8, but now I just can tolerate more. I find myself posting several times on the forum because I bought a pc brand new windows8 in June 2013. Windows8 is a cool OS but I can't take more with the problems, he gave me. I find myself punching my pc because of the anger and closing the lid really hard because I hate windows8 performance.
First question:
My wireless lan driver is horrible. I can't download large files on my pc because my computer disconnects every 10 minutes after I connect to a wireless network.
Second question:
My mouse sucks. I was a big presentation in my school and the next thing I knew was that my mouse had disappeared from the screen. It's really annoying because I had to reinstall the drivers, then restart the computer on a projection screen. This happens often and it is one of the reasons why I want windows7 on a partition.
Third question:
Most of my keys on the keyboard still stop sometimes. Most of the letters or homework, I type on my laptop must be checked several times before submitting it.
I tried to install windows7 on my pc on a different partition, but it simply doesn't. I know that its to cause of UEFI firmware and I have put it in legacy mode, but my windows8 will not start when I do this. I have seen and read a lot of posts, but it doesn't seem to work. At one time I tried to install mac that wasn't a good idea.
How can I install Windows7 alongside windows8
PS: I love windows8, but I can't use this operating system more at school because it bothers me a lot.
If you keep the computer abuse, you have nothing to use or reinstall Windows 7 on. Treat the system with the best care.
Are you sure that most of your problems with Windows 8 is not related to:
1 driver with your network card problem?
2 have you tried to connect to the Internet with a wired connection to see if the problem persists?
3. have you checked for Mouse/touchpad update the drivers from the manufacturers Web site?
4. it looks like the issue with the keyboard and all the problems, may be chipset related, you can also consult the manufacturer of your laptop site for driver chipset update.
5. considering that your system was manufactured in June of 2013, it probably came with Windows 7, Windows 8 No, you would of course, was given a free upgrade to Windows 8 depending on the date of purchase.
