• Can I switch from Vista Home Premium 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?

  I wanted to basically triple - check the compatibility of my laptop current in what concerns the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7.

  As a student, I can get windows 7 professional 64 bit for £30. Their moment I'm running a 32-bit version of vista Home premium, and I wanted to confirm my laptop is up to running a 64-bit operating system, and that the upgrade from a 32-bit version of Vista to a 64-bit Windows 7 version is also possible.

  I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, and it is said that everything should be correct regarding my hardware specifications.

  The results of the 64-bit Upgrade Advisor version:

  -"Your graphics card supports Aero de Windows interface.
  -Processor: 2.1 GHz
  -3.0 GB of RAM (I know it's 4 GB but 32-bit vista can not handle the truth)
  -80.7 GB free on C:

  The consultant warn me that I'll have to do a clean install, rather than an upgrade. I'm not worried about it, I can back up my files to an external hard drive.

  What I want to know is, I will certainly be able to upgrade Vista Home Premium 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, with the upgrade kit here http://store.digitalriver.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayHomePage&Locale=en_GB&SiteID=msshgb at the bottom of the page?

  Thanks for your help.

  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.

  Upgrade paths:
  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

  If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. Also, you can make the downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

  Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate
  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition
  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise
  Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate. Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com http://www.activewin.com

• Switch from Vista 32 bit to 64 bit on laptop

  Hello

  I have a 32-bit version of Vista Home Premium came with my laptop. I would switch to a 64-bit. I am aware that I have to do a clean install - not an upgrade. However, since I already have a legitimate and activated Vista Home Premium version, I would like to know how I can apply to a 64 bit version of the operating system. In other words, I would switch to the 64-bit without having to pay the full price of a whole new operating system (since I already paid money for 32-bit Vista when I bought the computer).

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hey MrMarbles5344

  as the 32-bit vista is preinstalled on your laptop, it's an oem license and as such, is not eligible for a free 64 - bit Microsoft vista version
  If you had purchased a commercial version of 32-bit vista you would have been eligible for the 64 - bit free version
  as it is now you buy a 64 bit version of vista complete and do your own installation
  Try the online sites like amazon etc to buy it because microsoft sells more vista

• Re: Can I switch from Vista to XP?

  I now have Vista, but I would change it on XP.

  Is this possible?
  If so, how?

  Why would it not possible to change from Vista to XP?
  What do you think?

  I put t know what phone you use, but if you can find all the drivers for it on the Toshiba site there s no problem. In the case you're searching on external Web sites for drivers, such as Intel, Realtek, and far.

  To install XP only, you must boot from the CD and follow the instructions on the screen.
  All that s!

• Can I switch from Vista Ultimate 32 bit for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

  I have a Vista Ultimate 32 bit legtitimate, I've never used and I want to upgrade to a legitimate Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  Is it possible to do it and how?

  John

  During the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit, you must do a clean install.  You can transfer most of your settings via the windows Easy Transfer Wizard, but you will need to re - install all the applications.

  It becomes a bit messy

• Switch from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit

  I have a HP Tx1000 Tablet running on Windows Vista Premium 32 bit. I want to uprade to Windows 7 and I was wondering if I should use Windows 7 32-bit or could I upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. I know everything must also be compatible with Vista. I have a 1.8 ghz AMD 64 X 2 Tl - 56 processor. I switch to 4 GB of ram (32-bit only recognized 3 GB though). I want to move to 64-bit so I can use all of my ram, as my computer has a severe disorder runnning, more than one program at a time especially when I have Internet Explorer to the top.

  Thank you
  Derek

  Hi derekdel,

  For 32-bit to a 64-bit system on any operating system (XP, Vista, Windows 7), you will need to do a clean install.  The upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit is not available on any Microsoft OS.

  Hope this helps, Kevin

• Can I switch from Vista Edition Family Premium for Windows 10?

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9426f PC Windows Vista Home Premium.  The PC has 8.0 GB of RAM and a 64-bit operating system.  The processor is an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz, 2.40 Ghz.  I would appreciate your help.  Thank you!

  Hello

  You can read the information below on what to do to see if your machine is compatible with Windows 10.

  I can tell you now, is not that HP stops support and providing Windows 7 Drivers for this model.

  Here is the information from HP for your model:

  http://support.HP.com/ca-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-elite-M9000-desktop-PC-series/3794173/model/3816185

  You buy Windows 10, as there is no free upgrade to Vista 10.

  https://www.Yahoo.com/tech/s/Microsoft-just-confirmed-Windows-10-pricing-everything-know-114542550.html

  Microsoft on Monday said CNET Windows 10 will cost just as much as its predecessor. This means price for Windows 10 will run anywhere from $110 for Windows 10 Home package at $199 for Windows 10 Pro edition. In addition a Pack Pro 10 will allow users upgrade Home Pro for $99.

  http://www.CNET.com/news/Microsoft-prices-single-Windows-10-licenses-at-119-for-home-199-for-Pro/

  But first make sure that you have the correct configuration and your computer manufacturer provides the right drivers for 10.

  https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Windows-10-specifications#sysreqs

  Microsoft deploys Windows 10 available as free upgrade to Windows 7 features, Windows and Windows Phone 8.1 8.1 qualified. It will be available from July 29, 2015

• Can I switch from XP 32 bit to 64 bit XP?

  First of all here is my computer: http://tinyurl.com/6sz34dz

  I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade my current 32-bit to a 64-bit. 'AVG PC tune up,' said my computer was able to be 64-bit, but I don't know how to do. Please keep in mind that I am not looking for upgrade to Vista or 7.

  Probably not.  Probably, "AVG tune-up" has looked up the model of your Pentium 4 processor and determined that it supports "Intel 64," which is a 64-bit instruction set.

  You can confirm by clicking Start > run > msinfo32 > OK.  Then look at the "System Summary", especially the "type of system."

  You can also watch a line down the line "Processor" to determine the 'family' and the 'model' and then click here to search for patterns of 3.06 GHz--> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_4_microprocessors I suspect that you have a "Intel Family 15 Model 4" Pentium 4 519 K or less likely a "Intel family 15 model 3" Pentium 4 HT 524 - that support Intel 64. "

  The original Windows XP 64-bit edition runs on Intel Itanium processors.  They use a different architecture than your Pentium.

  In 2005, Microsoft released Windows XP Professional x 64 edition, which was designed to run on processors supporting Intel 64.  Even if you could find a copy of this version of Windows to buy, here is this a Wikipedia article has to say about it:

  There are a few common problems that occur with the Windows XP Professional x 64 edition.

  • Driver compatibility; Mode drivers single core 64-bit are supported. This means that devices for which there is no driver for Windows XP 64-bit can be used. This includes a lot of common equipment; as the readers of CD, DVD and USB drives. The amount of material not supported fell because of the proliferation of x 64 Vista and x 64 Windows 7.
  • Any 32-bit Windows Explorer extension does not work with the Explorer of Windows 64 - bit. Explorer is a 64-bit program, so it cannot load a 32-bit DLL. However, Windows XP x 64 edition also comes with the 32-bit explorer.exe, which can be used as a shell by default of the user with editing the registry.
  • 16-bit programs will not run due to the removal of the 16-bit subsystem Microsoft. As some 32-bit software was shipped with 16-bit installers, these software will not install.
  • Command prompts will not load in full screen. This is also true for Windows Vista and Windows 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.
  • Does not contain a component Web Extender Client for Web (WebDAV) folders.
  • Some installers refuse to install something else XP 32-bit, even if the product works perfectly on x 64.

  My suggestion?  Wait until you decide that you need a new computer and get with any operating system Microsoft is available.

  Microsoft sells more than Vista.

  Microsoft now sells Windows 7.

  Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

  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.

  can I switch from 32-bit win vista home prem 64-bit win vista home prem?

  Yes, you can, but you need to back up and do a custom installation. There is no place on the way to upgrade from Windows Vista 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Installation and relocation of Windows Vista
  Back up your files - Microsoft Corporation: software, Smartphones...

  Boot from the Windows Vista DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows Vista click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  Hello

  It's always a good idea to have a paper copy of a disc (for resettlement and repairs).

  And Yes, backup all your data as 'can' happen during an upgrade that is supposed to be easy.

  This is a very good guide for what you want to do:

  Make sure you go from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit to be able to do an upgrade.
