Could I download a Version of Vista 64 bit instead of having to buy it in a store?

I have a 32-bit version of Windows Vista and I just wonderd of time I can get a downloadable Version of Windows Vista 64-bit instead of 32 bit. It's just another question and I do not have the answer but I would like to beable to download on my PC.

And before someone says anything my PC is capable of running a 64-bit Windows, because when I installed 32-bit Windows 8 Pre-Release... But I did not know that the differences between the two so far (so I downloaded and installed the 64-bit version).

I also know that when you install another version of Windows (weather its going from Vista to Windows 7 or 8, or changing from 32-bit to 64-bit) and I know that the risks of when I install the opperating system.

So if there is a free downloadable version of Windows Vista 64-bit, I'd be glad to know where I can get it.

Hi William,.

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand from the description of the issue you are looking for free download of Windows Vista 64-bit.

Unfortunately, there is no free downloads available for Windows Vista. I suggest you to contact your favorite software provider to purchase Windows Vista 64-bit.

Using the windows-related issues feel free to post on the Microsoft Community Forum.

  • Reinstall the clean version of Vista 32 bit

    I have a second hand with no original disk computer.  I have a properly active version Running Windows Vista and I would like to reinstall it on a clean install.   How can I do this with no disc?

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • After my gateway mD2614u (64bits WHP) OS was wiped out by the virus and "projected blue" I installed my old version (Gateway), Vista 32 bit... it will be good?

    After my gateway mD2614u (64 bit WHP) OS was wiped out by the virus and "projected blue" I installed my old disk of Vista Home Premium 32-bit (gateway) to try to recover the operating system to 64-bit in fact somehow, it works fine after installing the network drivers appropriate. Would it be possible to retrieve an original os status or should I simply buy the disk recovery, or just be it? I know that tmi!

    # Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows is OK but one backward migration is a problem because the 32-bit version of the installer cannot delete some items of 64-bit.  It produces a mixed version where you have taste strange anomalies a folder programs (x 86) and a programs folder.  Vista 32 bit shouldn't have a programs (x 86) folder.  Only 64-bit Vista has that.  He there's other, less obvious, issues.  Although you can retrieve files from the Windows.old folder the BONE itself is not trustworthy.  I tested the backward migration during the program Vista TechBeta and script scenarios has never supported by Microsoft Support after RTM due to 32-bit installation being unable to deal with the structure of the 64-bit system to remove.

    You must order the 64 bits of the gateway recovery disks (if still available) or a third party such as Recovery - Disks.com.

    You can install the software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or everyone. If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the previous two computersand use Cloud Creative apps on it.

  • Update of Vista 32 bit does not work after replacing the hard drive

    A month ago the hard drive of my computer (ACER Aspire 6920) had to be replaced. The disk image hard precedent (which includes the c: with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, SP 2 build 6002) has been mirrored to the new hard drive. Everything seemed to work fine until I noticed that I don't have more updates from Microsoft. I tried a manual update and got the message that the update service was not working and I have to restart the computer. However, the Task Manager showed that the update service has been executed. Of course, I rebooted the computer, but nothing has changed.

    I found a whole bunch of recommendations for this issue in this forum, but nothing seems to work:

    • The Microsoft FixIT tool indicates a problem with the update of components, and then said that the problem had been solved successfully. However, the problem is still there and rerun the FixIt tool Gets the same message on a problem (yet) found and fixed.
    • I also stopped the update service, delete all content in Windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and restarted the service. without success.
    • I've temporarily disabled my security suite (Eset Smart Security 6) and tried the update. I also have fittings the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to the scope of the antivirus, without success. On the old hard drive, I used a different security suite so I thought that maybe the ESET (that I installed everything recently) could be the cause of the problem, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    • I also followed the instructions provided by Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058, but again, no change at all. However, it should be noted that registering some DLLs that Microsoft listed does not work (message that the DLL is not found or some server entry point (my translation, I'm using the German UI and don't know English good term; sorry) could not be found.)

    Http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 , I found another tool that supposedly can solve some problems of updating; I downloaded the version for Vista 32-bit, but it cannot install it on my computer (error code = 0xc8000247 during installation).

    So I'm really lost now what else to do. I would appreciate any suggestions. Please note that I am not technically very warned :)

    ARG, apologies.

    Was not aware that they had dropped support for Vista... (I myself have 'graduated' Vista earlier)

    The fact that you have not already installed TSRI is exactly your problem.

    Recent hard drives using 'Sectors 4 K', also known as 'Advanced Format Technology'.

    If the installed hard disk driver currently is not compatible with this specification,

    It will result in oddities like the status of the service Windows Update is not recognized correctly.

    Installation TSRI will fix this in most cases.

    Alternatively, if you are using Vista SP1 or later version (or 7 SP1), you can use the real driver.

    Since you are already updated to SP2, we will see if it is a viable solution.

    Go to: start-> Control Panel-> programs-> programs and features

    In the list of installed programs, locate and remove if found.

    -Intel Matrix Storage Manager

    -Intel Turbo Memory

    This should force your computer to go back to the real driver provided by Vista.

  • Portege M700 - Modem UMTS Novatell missing drivers for Vista 64 bit

    Hello

    are there drivers for the UMTS modem yet? (I have found that none on the Toshiba download site) It's the only thing that prevents me from using a Version of Vista 64 bit on my Portege M700.

    Could you (guys from Toshiba) please release the 64 bit Vista for the Novatel UMTS modem drivers?

    Thanks in advance,

    Matthias

    Hello

    You are right. Novatel Wireless Mobile Broadband Drivers and TOSHIBA 3 G RF Power Control Utility are not available, but maybe you can check if Vista 64 - bit DVD recovery exist for this model of laptop.

  • Question about upgrading to Vista 64 - bit - Satellite A300-1EG

    Hello

    I wanted to ask you, how can I run Vista 64-bit without losing all the software that I got carried away with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-1EG?
    I would be remiss and so on the Toshiba disk creator?
    Is there a way to extract somehow the recovery DVD?

    Thank you

    Please do not mix two different things. 64-bit and 32-bit versions are not the same and if your mobile phone is supported for the version of Vista 64-bit, you can find all the drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    Have you already checked this?

    BTW: recovery image cannot be used for spare parts. It can only be used in the package.

  • Satellite P100: Conexant audio only is not supported on Windows Vista 64-bit

    Last week, I install new Windows Vista 64-bit system, but not sound. I think it was the problem with the audio driver 64-bit. Is that someone has the new driver for vista 64-bit?

    It seems that some devices are not recognized by Vista common drivers that were shipped with the Vista operating system and therefore the new drivers are needed. But because Vista is not official on the market (official start is late January 2007) drivers are not published.

    But where did you get the version of Vista 64-bit?

  • Satellite A300: Vista 64 bits after the new installation by using the recovery disk

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 A300 / M00 and when I got it, it had Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. But after awhile, I started to have problems so I decided to reinstall Vista on my laptop. After crossing with the product recovery media, my system become so 64-bit.

    Was not my system suppose to have 32-bit when it was originally with her?
    If no, then how can I install 32 bit once more on my laptop like 64-bit gives me problems with the installation of some of my programs.

    If I need to buy a copy of Vista 32 Bit, where can I find the drivers for my system, because the product recovery media has all the drivers on this subject.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hmm. Your ad is a little confusing.

    Why would you say that Toshiba Recovery disk contains a version of Vista 64-bit?
    How did you check that?
    From my experience, the Toshiba recovery disc still contains the preinstalled operating system.

    Also as much as I know the new notebook from Toshiba are not delivered with the recovery disk, but with a HARD drive recovery option.
    This option allows you to reinstall the OS from the second partition of HARD drive recovery.
    Alternatively, you can use the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator software to create the own recovery DVDs! And this recovery disk contains the same preinstalled OS!

    Good bye
