Can I run a 32 bit AND 64 bit Windows Vista on the same computer version?
I have laptop SONY VAIO 64 bit and a new digital microscope that has a driver 32-bit. I can't the microscope to work and it is not a driver 64 bits for the microscope. Their tech support suggested the installation of a 32-bit version of Vista on the laptop. Can I do this and still keep the 64 bit version of Vista as my main operating system. This suggestion is practical or even possible?
Hello
You can double vista 32-bit and 64-bit on your computer
BUT you would need to BUY the 32-bit operating system vista to install it
and Microsoft sells more Vista
they switched to Windows 7
and what you want to do with your time if it's for work, because you will constantly change the operating system to use if you use 64-bit for most of your work

I can't install 64-bit Windows Vista with the help of an old license of a dead computer?
Old license Windows Vista on the new computer
I have a Windows Vista Ultimate license that came with my 32-bit laptop and I have a new 64 bit laptop. Can I install Windows Vista 64-bit using the old license? I already threw the old laptop, and so I won't use the license in addition to a laptop computer.You can tranfer commercial versions, but not the OEM versions. An OEM version is only intended to be used on the computer that it is installed first. It is likely that the old license is an OEM version.

Packed HARD drive
If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected? He still believes that I am still on the old HDD?If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected?

Yes.
Not at all.

If you have Windows 7 with an OEM license agreement (it came pre-installed on the computer is the most likely scenario for this, but you can buy OEM copies so) or you have a license to retail (upgrade or full version) - the way your question is worded is very specific - you * can * install Windows 7 costs/clean on this same system as much as you wish. A new hard drive won't stop you activation - well that at some point, you need to activate by phone, as opposed to over the Internet.
Now - if the motherboard is replaced and it's licensed OEM and replacement was not that of the OEM that probably set up your computer... Then you have a problem.
Unless you happen to have a license of Windows 7 retail sales, so it is not related to the computer (motherboard).

Can Veristand 2009 and 2010 Veristand be installed on the same computer?
I have VS2009 on my machine. I would like to install VS2010 as an eval to start porting more implementation to VS2010 before I pull the plug on VS2009. These bothe perhaps installed and functional-by-side on the same machine? Are there objections to bounce back between the two? I already have the prereqs listed on page eval VS2010 (NOR-DAQmx 9.1.5, NOR-RIO 3.5 and NOR-XNET 1.1).
On the same computer, you can have NI VeriStand 2009 and 2010. If you have developed an application in 2009, you can migrate to 2010 using the tool of mutation in 2010. However, you won't be able to open a project from 2010 in 2009. For example, if you have any custom devices or personalized workspace objects/tools they have developed in the same version of LabVIEW that NI VeriStand. In other words, NI VeriStand 2009 can only use the custom devices created in LabVIEW 2009 and NI VeriStand 2010 can use custom peripheral performance created in LabVIEW 2010.

Windows 8 comes with only on product key (license) that can be activated on a computer at the same time.

Can WRT54G and XP with WINDOWS/7 on the same network?

can I use my profile of windows 7 on windows 8 on the same computer
I've been using tb for years, now I'm on windows 7, but when I'm editing I use windows 8 same computer but on a different partition. I don't want to copy files, as when I go back to windows 7 they wont last updated on any new email I received with windows 8. Can I simply use form profile tb windows 7 on windows 8?
Can't do anything in TB until you add an email address, I have, but when I told him to get the windows 7 partition profile I got a large list appear but not my emails or accounts.am I want to do simply not possible, I see several articles re multiple profiles, but not on multiple windows operating systems
As long as the profile is when Windows 7 and Windows 8 can see (and write in it!), then it should work.
However, the default location is inside the users and this may be limited. Users has been implemented to be accessible from both systems?
Otherwise, you have created a shared folder accessible to both Windows 7 and Windows 8 to host profile?
The trick for the implementation is, once you put the profile where the two installations of Windows can see, is to edit the files respective profile.ini two systems to refer to the new location. You will certainly need also the IsRelative value 0 (i.e. false) and use of backslashes instead of slashes in path names.
A caveat is that both facilities must use the same version of Thunderbird, or they can bicker about version of add-on levels.
