Can you still go ONCE a system of 64-bit to a 32 without a reinstall?

Yes 64 is better blah... blah... blah... but it does not work! I got a lot more bugs on Windows 7 to Windows XP. I had (due to incompatibility) throw almost 1/3 of my games! I have a lot of dear old, but still many of them are new. Due to some research on the fourms I found that a game I wanted to play was apparently not compatible with a 64-bit system! I just want to come a 32 without having to reinstall everything

Now I want to throw Windows 7 out the window and go back to XP! (I would have but for the fact that my old computer some how got thrown)

I'm not impressed with Windows 7.

A change in Windows 7 64-Bit to 32-bit Windows (and vice versa) will still work require a cleaning (custom) installation of Windows 7. You will lose everything during this process and therefore have to reinstall programs and personal files of backup/restore. Even if you switch to Windows 7 32 - Bit, there is no guarantee that the game works in order to check the manufacturer's website, etc.

You can get some old programs by using compatibility mode. For more details, see:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows .

If you have Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise editions, you can use the XP Mode. For more details, see:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/windows-xp-mode .

Not all games with 16-bit code will work in Windows 7 64 bit. The only way to get these to run is to use virtualization software.

In addition, incompatibility with a new operating system is not identical to a bug. A bug is a mistake. Incompatibility in most cases simply means that the technology has evolved and old tricks no longer work.

I hope this helps.

  • Can you tell me if I have a 64-bit Java update operating system do I download

    Please can someone advise me on how Java Update, I download a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. My Firefox tells me that I need urgently update my Java but when I click on update all that is that there is a page of confusing information about 32-bit and 64-bit systems thanks to. He asks what version I'm using 64-bit or 32-bit Firefox. I didn't know that there were two, I thought speaking of 64-bit and 32-bit, this meant the operating system of my computer. Can anyone clear this up for me. Thank you.

    Hello, you must install the version of the java plugin which corresponds to your Web browser. Firefox is available only in 32-bit version for now (it will run on windows 7 64 bit in any case) - so for java to work in firefox, you will also need to install the 32-bit plugin: http://java.com/download/windows_xpi.jsp

  • Can you still find the 'theatre' on a song?

    I remember back when iTunes was relatively young (around 2006) allowing you to be able to read how 'theatre', a song in your iTunes library and you may even sort the pieces by the amount of plays. In addition to the playlist 'Top 25 most played' (which still does not specify how many times each song has), there is no indication I can find to match this feature. There are still hidden away somewhere? Y at - it another way? Thanks in advance.

    When in mode of song list, right-click on any column heading, and then select time to add this column. You can drag it anywhere and you can use it to sort.

    Method ALT: iTunes > View menu > options > check box all of the columns you want to see.

  • How can you change the guest operating system on a host after 4.0 set to level.

    On ESXi 3.5 U4 all FreeBSD guests were built with "Other Linux (32 bit)".  How can I change them to FreeBSD (32 bit) now that I've upgraded to 4.0?  I stop the host and I tried to change it but it does not give me the option to FreeBSD.

    The virtual machine must be turned off before upgrade you your virtual hardware. If you click on a turned off the virtual computer, you will have an option that says upgrade virtual hardware

  • Can you still work when the internet goes down?

    Because the internet service in this country is not reliable enough, it will be difficult to get the work done when internet is down? Where I live, high-speed internet is not yet available, so I even will be able to use Photoshop at all? Should I just found another application?

    Your desktop creative cloud (like Photoshop and Illustrator) applications are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need a continuous Internet connection to use on a daily basis.

  • If you have two hard drives, can you wipe the second and just use it as a storage device?

    If you have two HARD drives in a PC Windows 7, can you remove everything (including the System 32, Windows users, literally everything) in the second and still use his computer? All my programs on the first HDD would remain on my PC, but all the files of the second being scratched? I'm running out of space on my first HARD drive and need to know if I can keep the second as storage just pure.

    Thank you.

    Hey Elliot,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems that you want to delete all the data on the secondary hard drive without affecting the first hard drive operating system files.

    I'll be happy to help you with this.

    If the operating system (Windows 7) is installed on the first hard drive, it has nothing to do with the second hard disk. You can go ahead and delete all data without hesitation.

    Note: Make sure that you remove the data from the hard drive where Windows 7 is installed.

    If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup.

    For more information, see the link.

    Delete files using disk cleanup

    If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know. We will be happy to help you.
