• Can I use 63-bit Win 7 Home base with the same product key that I used for 32 - bit?

  1 I have win7 64 bit with licesence version hombasic. And now I use homebasic 32bits and 64bits format and install with the same key... So I jst want to know that this process can damage my computer laptop operating system? or there is no problem whatever I did!.

  Original title: Win7

  Well, it will damage her, just that you will not run the 64-bit version, which means, if you have more than 4 GB of RAM installed, Windows 7 Home Basic 32 bit will not support it.

  You should also check that the manufacturer of your computer is using 32-bit drivers for your computer.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  Upgrade/license transfer

  I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

  If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

  Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

  How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

  Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.

• Upgrade Vista Basic Vista Home Premium with the old product key.

  When I bought my laptop, it came with Vista Home Premium installed. I had to wipe my HD and reinstalled Vista using the diskette provided me by Dell, but the version they gave me was Vista Home Basic. Is there a way to upgrade to Home Premium with pay them for it because I bought the license when I first bought my computer?

  Contact Dell on them giving you the wrong recovery disk...

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

• Can I use 2 routers on my home network?

  Can I use 2 routers on my home network? I have a modem/router combo Xfinity but my Airport extreme must be a router that is better than what came with the Xfinity plan. I was told you can use 2 routers for various computers (iPhone, iPad, iMac, etc) and choose the one that gives the best range and result.

  Do you use a separator line and then to the cable connection? Or would I connect the Airport Extreme in the router/modem by an Ethernet cable Xfinity? In any case, what has worked for you, assistants out there?

  JIM

  Do not use 2 routers, they will conflict (without careful configuration) and even when they are not there is nothing to be gained by.

  In the future, if it please read this post and then provide details.  What printer model? What operating systems? Have you implemented an existing network?

  In what follows I'll assume that you have the Deskjet 1000 j110a and you currently have a home network set in place.  I'll assume that the computer is connected to an XP machine and you have configured and enabled for sharing. (Search for 'Printer Sharing', in respect of assistance on XP to see how to proceed if it is not installed).  Suppose to not the XP machine has a network name of ComputerName and the printer is shared as printername.  In the following discussion, change the names to match your computer and printer share names.

  Now, on the other machine to install printer drivers, as if the printer is connected directly.  When it gets to the part asking you to connect the printer say you'll do it later.  (For the following that I will assume, the second computer is Windows 7.) On the Windows 7 computer, go devices and printers folder, add a printer, the local printer, creating a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the name of the actual share of the computer and the printer), OK, and then click Windows Update and then select Hewlett-Packard for the manufacturer then the Deskjet 1000 j110a for the printer.

• I lost the disc to restore my phone and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

  I lost my laptop computer restore disc and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

  My title says it all. I have an old HP laptop that they do not send to restore the disc more (I don't know yet I had one; his old laptop from my brother) and I have an installation disc for my new PC. I have a Windows XP Home edition SP2 installation disc. However, as the hard drive of my laptop broke down, I don't know what version of windows it was. I think it should have been an OEM version and the sticker says it was Windows XP Home Edition.

  Now, anyway I tried to install my installation on laptop computer disc, offering series of laptop computer but now it asks me to activate. Will it work if I activate it?

  Thank you

  Unless you are lucky enough to know someone who has a generic OEM drive, which you can borrow, I don't see a practical solution for you.  I advise you to spend the money to buy one, even if you could find one to buy from a reliable source (not eBay!).  Although a generic OEM disc should work with your product key, there is no guarantee that it will work with your product key.

  If your laptop can be retrieved through a restore partition, and you can't borrow a disc that will work with your product key, then you have pretty much exhausted all reasonable or practical options.

  I finally did! I borrowed a copy of a generic OEM drive, through activation and it is!

  Thank you much for the help...

  Now I've done could you help me more? Say now, I returned the drive OEM back (don't want to make an illegal copy) and want to be able to use my current system installed to generate a system disk that will allow me to avoid all the problems I've had up to now. What would you recommend? I've read a few articles on other forums (I did some research!) but is a little confusing. I hope you could help.

  Thank you

• How can I get Windows Readyboost? (Vista Business)

  I want to try Windows ReadyBoost.  The computer I have is a used laptop running Windows Vista Business.  Applications of Web site it should be preinstalled, but this isn't, probably because it is a refurbished computer.  Is it possible that I have download or get anywhere else?

  Hi Serendipitocity,

  If it's a ReadyBoostdrive compatible, Vista it detects and displays a prompt asking what you would do with this drive.
  The ReadyBoost service is started automatically. If you stop or disable, this Vista service will not ask whether or not you want to use this drive to speed up your computer with ReadyBoost.  If this happens to you, follow these steps to activate and start the ReadyBoost service.

  1. Click the Start button.
  2. In the search box on the Start button, type services.msc and press the Enter key.
  3. When the user access control application if you would like to continue, or provide the credentials of the administrator account to do this.
  4. Scroll down and double-click the ReadyBoost service.
     1. Change the Startup Type from the drop down menu to automatically.
     2. Then press the Start button to start the service.
     3. Press the OK button.
     4. Now, close the Services console.

  The ReadyBoost service should now be started, and if you reinsert the flash drive it invites you to use the drive for ReadyBoost.

  If this isn't the case, then go to the event viewer and see if there are errors in the system or application logs.

  You can also use the article here and the section if ReadyBoost is working or not.

  Please answer and give an update on if ReadyBoost is working for you.
