Can I run dual boot Vista 32 and Windows 7 64? Can I use a upgrade disk to install the full version?

original title: I have a simple question...

I have Vista 32 bit.  I have two hard drives.  Vista 32 is on disk 0.  (C) I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.  I want to change the installation path on Windows 7 64 bit edition updated the software on my second drive, so I can run a system dual boot.  Windows 7 Setup will allow me to do?  I can use the version upgrade of the software for that, or do I have the full version?

Hello

You can't do what you want to do

32-bit to 64-bit is NOT a upgrade path if you have always wanted to upgrade 32 bit vista

It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate

and you need a full license of windows 7 to install windows 7 on the 2nd hard drive

You can dual boot vista 32-bit and 64-bit windows 7, if the manufacturer of your computer provides windows 7 drivers

    Please use the Vista system repair and recovery forum to fix your departure upward.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-system?page=1&tab=all

    Yes, as long as Vista is still installed on the hard drive you can use a copy of Windows 7 upgrade to upgrade your computer but you will need to boot the computer with the Windows 7 dvd and perform a custom installation.  Which will remove all your programs and data so there will be very practical backups.

    The best option is to repair Vista first.

    Before dismiss you the idea of buying a copy of the full license of Windows 7, remember that it would be transferable to a new computer much more easily that an upgrade copy is.

  • Can't get running dual boot Linux (Fedora) and Win8.1 in UEFI Duo 11 & secure boot mode

    Hello people,

    last year, I bought a 11 (Intel i5, 1.8 MHz, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD) Duo with Win8 (64-bit) installed in secure boot mode. December 2013 I updated the OS 8.1 with a new license and curled UEFI & secure mode active, a few days after I installed Fedora 20 64-bit.

    Installing linux running properly, but I don't get any what startup, or UEFI GRUB menu and only earn 8.1 starts automatically. I checked the EFI partition: all files are installed in the appropriate directories.

    Can someone help me get the dual boot running?

    Thanks in advance

    Michael Wachs

    Hello again,
    Mission accomplished, I have a dual boot win8/fedora20.

    Well, it was much more difficult than expected.

    First of all, thanks to this guy, it's a bit more clearly how noncompliant efi bios on vaio actually works:

    so, let's keep in mind that the start process seems to:
    Look in /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi; If present, it starts.
    Search in all subdirectories of /EFI/ for grubx64.efi. If present, it starts.
    Start /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
    Displays an error such as "The OS not found" message.

    Now, that's how I managed to do so, please note that:

    • It's more a hack here-I-fixed-it rather than a clean solution, but it works
    • There is probably a more easy/better way to do
    • a step may be unnecessary (I will say that when I suspect, but I will definitely not return to test)
    • I'm Italian and my English is awkward

    (1) enter the bios settings, select the boot from cd/dvd and disable secure boot (this may be unnecessary and can be re-enabled at the end of the process, I don't really know at the moment)

    (2) use the Fedora dvd installation (NOT 'live' one since you will need the feature of 'rescue') (Finally, you can use a direct to start and then go up and chroot for installed partitions, but it is longer)

    (3) save the system installed, this should mean pressing enter three times and ending up in a shell

    (4) if all goes well, run:

    chroot /mnt/sysimage
    

    (5) go to/boot/efi/EFI and follow these steps

    mv Boot Boot.old
    mv fedora Boot
    cp Boot/grubx64.efi Boot/bootx64.efi
    mv Microsoft/Boot/fwbootmgr.efi Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfwFUBAR.efi
    

    Now, this way our graceful bios not compliant will not find Microsoft file and will head to Boot/boot64.efi (fedora one). Unfortunately, grub scripts does not detect windows, so we need to manually add Windows entry in grub conf.

    (6) take note of the UID of the EFI partition:

    grep /boot/efi /etc/fstab
    

    (Well Yes, there are safer ways)

    (7) edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom and add this:

    menuentry "Windows 8" {
    insmod part_gpt
    insmod fat
    insmod search_fs_uuid
    insmod chain
    search --fs-uuid --no-floppy --set=root A609-3B1E
    chainloader (${root})/efi/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfwFUBAR.efi
    }
    

    (8) now we will (re) making our new config (in our new location):

    grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/grub.cfg
    

    I fear that this step will be necessary whenever there is an update to the kernel

    9) restart with fingers crossed

    Oh, I currently have a working dual boot windows 8 / 20 on my vaio fedora.

    My biggest fear this time, it's some obscure windows update could restore the original Microsoft/Boot/fwbootmgr.efi. Finally, I could rename it again, still, it would be boring. We'll see.

    What a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

  • Tecra A11 (PTSE1A - 00L 005) - Dual boot with XP and Windows 7

    Hello

    Just bought a new Tecra A11 computer laptop running WIN7 Pro. Then downloaded and installΘ_ * virtual XP Pro * _ but not happy with the results that a lot of things he can do my other dual boot 17 "computer laptop with Vista/XP Pro will do.

    Background
    There are 3 partitions on the HARD disk
    1. active primary recovery 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
    2. principal asset C: start 287 Gb
    3 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

    Can I partition the C: drive in sectors 2 X 145 GB and make the new partition _ * assets * _NTFS?

    When I tried to install Xp Pro on another machine current Win7 partitioned as shown above, it 'blue preset' at the point of loading Xp using the RAID SATA CH8M-E charge via my USB FDD controller. Is it because this SATA driver is not current?

    What is the correct SATA driver?

    Does anyone know for sure that this machine will operate in dual boot Win7/Xp Pro?

    Any help much appreciated

    Peter

    Yes, you can dual-boot two versions of Windows.

    What you do is:

    Create recovery discs just in case something happens.
    Retractable C: drive at half the size.
    Create a new partition NTFS for XP.
    Download the driver for the controller SATA F6 www.intel.com
    Copy the SATA drivers on a floppy disk
    Boot from your XP (must have SP2 or SP3 slipstreamed) disc, press F6 when you are prompted to use the SATA driver on the floppy drive (to avoid the BSOD 0x0000007B)
    Configure the installation of XP to install on the partition that you created.

    When you restart, XP may have taken over and ignore Win7.
    In this case, you can restore the Win7 boot loader using EasyBCD (google is your friend)

    If the BIOS has an option of SATA controller Mode, simply activate the IDE Mode instead of the SATA driver.

  • Dual-boot for DOS and Windows 7.

    I use W7 Home Edition. 2G Ram. 500G hard drive. (tons of room left)

    I just correctly partitioned the hard drive and formatted the small partition in FAT32 so I can use BACK 6.21 as operating system.

    I'm trying to re - create the implementation that I had when I was on XP. Otherwise said, when the machine is booting, a screen appears that gave me the choice of either running in Windows XP or in the BACK. So far i cant even install BACK the machine to the three diskettes BACK 6.21 lights. The BIOS indicates the 3 1/2 "floppy drive is enabled.  The boot sequence has been defined for the floppy drive be the first start and the (No. 1, startup disk) disk is in the drive. Windows 7 boots up just as usual and totally ignores the BACK installation disc. Anyone know what I am doing wrong or that approach I should take. ?

    p.s. I have a spare hard drive I use exclusively for BACK if only I could get BACK installed on it and knew what to do at the BIOS level.

    Sometimes simple solutions are the best :) glad to know what you need to do this.

    Don't forget that starts change according to what operating system drive letters, you can even add a disc of Windows 8 and start to learn that. One of the main things to do is label the disks according to their function as this does not change even when the letters do.

    Please indicate the best answer than the answer.

  • I can install the full version of Windows 7 Professional on my computer Vista Home Premium? If so, how?

    I bought a full version of Windows 7 Professional to install on my Vista Home Premium computer.  I tried to reformat my Vista drive in a right click on the C drive and select "format", but I get a message that I can not format this drive.  Help!

    Thank you

    Here is the Vista Forums.

    You have to boot from the Windows 7 disc to do a clean install.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How can I use my legal license instead of the cracked version of Windows 7

    Windows 7 Cracked Version

    I use windows 7 cracked version of geniune microsoft but I bought the license for my windows and I don't want to use cracked version more, how can I use my legal license key?

    It cannot be that simple. If windows is cracked with the loading of a hacker program, the charger must be removed.

    Make sure that the product keys match the edition of windows.
    Personally, I would install a legitimate copy of windows. You never know what is contained in a pirated version.
  • I have a purchased copy of CS3 for Mac and want to upgrade to CS5 (I heard it was an upgrade option). Should what version of CS5 I download the upgrade? This is the full version of CS3 and the product key is available.

    I want to upgrade my version of the suite CS3 for Mac CS5. I heard that it was an offer of upgrade that I have an official version of the CS3 with product key. I was wondering what version of CS5 should I download and would cost how much the upgrade? It's as simple as download a trial version of the suite CS5, tapping my CS3 product key to receive the upgrade reduces and the discount even exist? Are there now that any other upgrade offers? I don't want to upgrade to CC.

    Adobe has only sell the latest version of the Creative Suite, which is CS6, so you can't buy CS5 more. Upgrades are also only available to CS6 CS5 so that CS3 would not benefit anyway.

    I'm afraid you're out of luck.

  • I installed the full version of After Effects, but as MPEG2 and DVD MPEG2 codecs are always miss

    The title explains little. I installed Master Collection CS5.5 as a full version, but After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder are still missing to the protected content. I rebooted and updated and restarted again. I installed as a trial and then entered the serial number later, and I also tried to use the serial number during installation. It seems that no matter what combination I try, I can't get MPEG2 if poster in the list to export.

    I just spoke with one of the software engineers, and he said that this could be the problem:

    If an exporter plugin ever to load, then After Effects try to load it again. It is possible that MPEG-2 exporters could not load a moment and then marked in this way.

    I recommend quiting After Effects, remove this entire directory and then restart After Effects:

    /Users/ /Library/Preferences/Adobe/After effects/10.5

    (No, this directory is not deleted during the uninstallation, unless explicitly say you to remove preferences, so it may have been left in your previous attempts to uninstall and reinstall.)

  • where can I download the Premier and Photoshop elements 10.0?  Or what can I use my old serial numbers for the new versions?

    I changed computers since the purchase of these programs in 2012 and you want to install it on my new machine.

    You should turn them off on the old machine if you wish not to use it.  Serial numbers are specific version if your works with version 10.
