Can I upgrade vista ultimate 32 bit sp2 for vista 64-bit?

Ranging from a 32-bit operating system 64-bit operating system is NOT a upgrade path.

It must do a clean install with a full version of a Vista 64 bit operating system.

  • How can I upgrade Vista 32 bit to Vista 64 bit on a Sony laptop?

    Hi there; Please tell me how I can upgrade Vista 32 Bit to 64 bit Vista on a Sony laptop?
    Without having to install a new 64-bit version and then I lose my Sony laptop platform,.

    that would prevent me from making the web.

    (I like to keep all my installed Sony devices & drivers more bits & bats).
    The disc tells me that the upgrade function is grayed out and pass through the windows!

    But does that mean?

    Peut-there please help me someone?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit; they are different operating systems.

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

    First thing to do is to check with Sony to see if 64-bit drivers are available for your machine:

  • How can I upgrade to 10 64-bit Windows?

    Hello

    I have a Travelmate B115-M and I upgraded from Windows Pro 8.1 to Windows 10. The problem is that it automatically upgraded to 10 32-bit Windows. The drivers from the Acer website are all 64 bits. I tried 2 times, the second time, do a clean install, but now I can't go back to 8.1 for Windows because it doesn't show the option anymore.

    So, how can I upgrade from Windows 10 32-bit on Windows 64-bit?

    Thanks in advance,

    John Lewis

    Well, finally I've upgraded to 64-bit Windows 10. The solution was to go to the Windows website and choose the option to install on another PC, downloaded the file on a USB key and do a clean install.

    Thank you.

    If this is a good DVD of Vista from Microsoft, will give you the Option to upgrade.

    You start him, you do an upgrade of a race and a Vista version active.

    Just watch out for the Service Pack levels, which have fixed before upgrade Option appears:

    On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk.

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have install.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

    "How to uninstall Windows Vista service packs"

    If the installed OS has the disk with Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 > uninstall SP2 installed operating system > install the upgrade > reinstall SP2.

    And run the upgrade of a Vista operating system.

    See you soon.

  • Can I use transfer EZ of WindowsXP SP2 for Windows7 using EZ transfer cable or should I upgrade to SP3. Same Q to use USB Fash drive.

    Transfer files, etc. from XP to windows7 using EZ transfer cable or need to use a USB Flash drive?

    Hi easyeddy,

    1. are you referring to Windows Easy Transfer?

    If you're referring to Windows Easy Transfer, Windows Easy Transfer for Windows XP supports the following operating systems:
    1 Windows XP SP2 to Windows Vista.
    2. Windows Vista to Windows Vista.

    In your case, you cannot use Windows easy transfer to transfer files from XP to Windows 7 because it does not support. You should consider using a USB FlashDrive to transfer/move your files from Windows XP to Windows 7.

    For more information, see the following articles.
    1 see Windows Easy Transfer for Windows XP
    2. see the section migration of files from Windows XP to Windows 7 in this article

    You can consider installing Service Pack 3 (SP3) on your computer. See download Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3)

    Yes, Microsoft is manufacturing and sale of Windows 7. No more Vista.

    RE: 64-bit disc.
    > I spent $ 400 on this disc in windows vista ultimate and the 32 bit disc, I got damaged and I still have the 64-bit.

    At least that I was wrong all this time, I don't see why you can't install your Ultimate 64-bit.
    You must do a clean install, because you install a 64-bit on a 32-bit computer.
    Your product key, however, is the same as your 32-bit.

    Hi JimNorman,

    1. What is the version/edition of windows vista installed on the computer?

    2. How do you try to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 (via anytime put at level or by using a disk)?

    Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.

    Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

    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.

  • Upgrade windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit

    Hello

    The elitebook 8540p, that I bought at my University did not provide with a disc of windows 7 installation.  When I started my laptop BIOS installed itself with a 32-bit version of windows 7. I recently became interested in upgrading my laptop and noticed that my elitebook can coop with a 64-bit version of windows 7.

    I was wondering;

    • Why a 32-bit version was installed instead of a 64-bit version. Y at - it a reasonable explanation to this?
    • Can I upgrade my windows 64-bit?
    • If I can, how can I get Diskless windows 7 installation?

    I hope someone can help me and give me a good explanation!

    I think you have the wrong with this "BIOS installed itself with a 32-bit version of windows 7" installing windows 7 has had to come back from another source, because the BIOS does not only.  Since the University has provided the unit, they may have a special arrangement with the supplier who made the installation and it is everything the University bought from the supplier.

    "Can I upgrade my windows 64-bit?" N ° if you want a 64 bit OS, it must be installed from a 64-bit Windows installation source, there is no option to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.  You can use the same key 32-bit installation is currently using but an installation media containing the 64-bit Windows 7 operating system should be used.

    "If I upgrade my 64-bit system, what should I take into account? What I lose every program and file on my hard drive? I need to reinstall the drivers or this will be done automatically? "Backup all data needed to maintain and fix the drivers for all devices before clamping 32 bit install to make sure that you can find.  Install Windows 7 may be able to find, but there still maybe not, then do your homework on this.
