  @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

  You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

• Can I install Windows vista 64-bit for free if I have the 32-bit version preinstalled (OEM)?

  I have Windows Vista 32 bit pre-installed on my computer and now I'm ready to add more memory to my machine.

  I've already paid for Windows Vista, when I bought my Dell computer a few years (I "réinstallation DVD Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit").

  I guess I can legally get and install the 64 bit version of the same operating system (I mean for free, of course)?   I don't want to pay for Windows 7.

  Whether or not it is an option would be between you and Dell.  Copies of the retail Windows come with two discs, but OEM copies that are sold with computers come with one or the other, the one that you ordered when you ordered the computer.  If Dell doesn't want to or can't provide you with a copy, then no one else is able to.

• Can I use Windows 7 32 bit product key for Windows 7 64-bit?

  Can I do!

  Yes, you can, as long as you use the same edition.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  I have baught a new portable computer and you want to install windows vista (32-bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do it with windows 7 (64-bit)

  the laptop contained Home Basic windows 7 (64-bit) and I want to install windows vista Home premium (32 bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do or tell me the parallel method to move a certain 32-bit operating system...

  I do not understand your question. If the laptop can run Windows Vista, it can probably run Windows 7 too.

  To run Windows 7 64-bit, the processor must be a minimum Core 2 Duo.

  System requirements:

  * 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

  * 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

  * 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

  * Peripheral figure DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

  Hi, Henrik:

  Specifications of your PC seem to meet all of the hardware requirements to be able to fully run W7.

  P D 915 processor is capable of 64-bit.

  ( (4M-Cache-2_80-GHz-800-MHz-FSB http://ark.intel.com/products/27515/Intel-Pentium-D-Processor-915-)

  I recommend you max on your memory to 4 GB as a 64-bit operating system requires more memory to run a 32 bit OS.

  A 32 bit OS will perform better on a PC that is running less than 4 GB of memory, unless you need a 64-bit system to run 64-bit programs.

  I would also start the W7 Upgrade Advisor to confirm what I posted.

• My product key was taken out of my turn to my children and I can't reactivate my Windows Vista is there a way to recover my product key?

  My product key was taken out of my turn to my children and I can't reactivate my windows vista is there a way to recover my product key?

  original title: product key

  Hello

  As you have lost the product key of the Tower, it is a preinstalled operating system and you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  They give you a different product key.

  What you can do now is ask them to send you a set of recovery disc for the computer model reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.

  Also while you are in contact with them, if you never receviced a reinstall to purchase drive, ask them how to make the recovery discs to do the same thing, if you still have access to the recovery partition.

  None of these methods of resettlement requires normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  See you soon.

• I can uprade from Windows Vista 32 bit to 64 bit?

  I need help please!

And also all is get updated so fast... Keller? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  Check with your system manufacturer.

  A description of the differences between 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and 64 bit versions of Windows Vista
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946765

  Not only must the system be 64-bit capable then to hardware drivers.

  Vista Compatibility Center
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/

  ============================

  Look at the lower/rear part computer and tape or disks that came with the unit.

  If the system is still running, you can use these to access your product key. These are not cracks, they
  only retrieve your existing key.

  One of them allows to recover your machine if possible.

• Can I install Windows Vista on my A110-178

  People,

  I am in possession of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A110-178. I would like to know if I can install Windows Vista on this laptop? And what version, Home Basic, home premium, ultimate or business.

  Kind regards

  Tim Snijckers

  Hello Tim

  I checked the Toshiba download page, and it seems that the drivers for Vista are available. Your laptop should have mode number PSAB0. Please visit http://support.toshiba-tro.de > support & download and choose your model of laptop.

  Before you start the installation of Vista, it is recommended to update BIOS first. I did the same thing for friends Satellite A100. After the BIOS update, I was able to install Vista and all the stuff from Toshiba with no problems.

• Can we install Windows Vista instead of Windows 8?

  We bought a new laptop of Dell XPS with Windows 8 two months ago.  We hate it!  Are we able to install Windows Vista on this new laptop using the disc that we had from our old computer?

  Hello

  If Vista is preinstalled on the old computer (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), it is an OEM license and as such is not transferable.

  If this Vista license was a license to retail, bought and installed by yourself, yes you are allowed to transfer, as long as it is only installed on a machine.

  In other words:

  OEM license: NO transfer.

  Retail price: Yes, you can.

  And first of all whether Dell has Vista drivers available for Windows 8 machine.

  If no driver available, you're wasting your time.

  See you soon.

• Can I upgrade Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows Vista 64 - Bit and preserve everything?

  I have a computer with Windows Vista 32 - Bit OS.  I have also 4 GB of RAM, but as the OS is 32-bit, he acknowledges that 3 out of 4 GB.  So, my question is, can I upgrade to a version 64 bit Vista and preserve files and programs, or what I have to buy a copy of Windows Vista 64-bit?

  Thank you

  Hello.

  No.; You cannot switch from 32-bit to 64-bit.

  It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

  There has never been a way to upgrade.

  You should backup your data, copy it into the 64 bit OS and reinstall all your programs

  Microsoft sells more than Vista.

  And before you buy Windows 7:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
