  Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price.  You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.

  Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them.  See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php

• Can I switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10

  Hello

  I have an older laptop that has been sitting in a drawer for nearly six months. I took it apart to see if I could update directly from Windows 7 to Windows 10, but when I put the charger - I don't remember if the charger is a new that I bought recently - something is is that I've never seen elsewhere: the screen started to Flash and came a message saying 'Register update' and then the starting numbers flashing on the screen until they match. Now I'm back to my home screen, but I wonder what treat all messages from 'Register' flashing - is - it is possible that the 'new' charger could have a negative effect on the PC? Can it cause a virus any?

  Finally, before I even try, is possible to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 without harming the laptop?

  Thank you

  Hi, thanks. I have upgraded to Windows 10 and that's fine. But thanks for the information.

• How can I switch from Windows Vista 32-bit for Windows Vista 64 - bit?

  Hello my PC is a 32-bit and I checked and it is expandable to a 64-bit so my? Now this is what to do from here which means I know it is evolutionary, but what do I do now...

  
  
  Please help me understand what I need to do Thks in advance.
  original title: Desktop PC Vista Home Basic...? ..

  On the same hardware, there will be no difference of speed of moving to 64-bit. There are some marginal benefits of security with Windows 64-bit.

  Since at least the five years, almost all of the processors are able to run in 32-bit and 64-bit mode.  See for more information on current processors that work with Windows;

  http://www.Intel.com/en_UK/products/processor/Corei7/index.htm

  http://www.AMD.com/us/products/pages/processors.aspx

  It's really a matter of how much you want to spend for the performance you need. See this for more information on what you will need for a high performance system:

  http://www.TomsHardware.com/reviews/core-I7-3930k-3820-test-benchmark, 3090.html

  You can not simply exchange one processor to another. It must be put in correspondence with the motherboard.

  You are referring to a Vista Home Basic Office. Home Basic is usually installed on low-specification PCs which are not powerful enough to run all of Vista's features.

  If you want to run something like Adobe CS5, you would be probably better off buying a new computer Windows 7 to try to upgrade your existing computer.
