• Can we use this product key on the back of the laptop for the activation and the windows 7 Professional 32-bit to windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade?

  I have a laptop HP originally shipped with windows 7 32-bit professional. Now I want to upgrade to windows 7 professional 64 bit. I don't have with me installation disk. So I thought that it is possible (and legal) to resume an installation of windows 7 professional 64 bit disc from a friend and use this product key on the back of my laptop computer to activate windows after the installation of 64-bit? I'm a bit confused.

  NOTE: This sticker on the laptop has windows 7 pro oa, and a product key to 25 digits (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx) written on it.

  In addition, the product ID in the information system in the control panel is OEM.

  Yes, you can use the product key located on the COA sticker with a full retail version or the version upgrade Windows 7 Professional disc.

  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. Reinstall the applications needed.

  Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:
  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• XP Professional x 64 Edition for Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade. The best way?

  Hi you all, experts,

  I want to spend my edition of Windows XP Professional x 64 (legit) to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I don't think I need additional options in 'Ultimate', but I need, I am sure, XP mode that comes with "7 Professional".

  Maybe I should mention at this point that I am a member of the program saved Reacondicionador, until you feel that I was fully authorized to "renovate" my own PC.

  First of all a question about Windows 7 itself: -.

  As I said, I need to be able to run certain programs that have been written for XP. The expression "run several Windows XP programs in Windows XP Mode (separate download) company" in "features" means that I have to pay extra for this option? If Yes, how and where to go?

  Is there a reason why my 2D design program which works perfectly under XP Pro x 64 (WOW64) should not be running in the above "Windows XP Mode"?

  Furthermore, I believe that I have several choices on how how to get 'XP' ' 7'.

  1) "OEM", the less expensive but, I understand, once installed on a clean hard disk only, that is all. End, end of story! What should I do if my motherboard fails and needs to be replaced? Can I get a replacement license or I have to buy an another OEM?

  2) 'Upgrade' which I believe will overwrite an existing operating system (matter if it's XP or Vista?) and install "Windows 7". Here are all my existing files maintained? If this is not the case, can I 'restore' to a 'Backup' created by XP?

  3) "Retail", the more expensive but, I understand that, can be transferred or installed on a PC refurbished, although it is only has a license valid on a PC at the same time. Is there a difference between "Retail" and "Upgrade"? Can I use one over the other? If so, why? Is there a difference?

  4) authentic software. Is it possible that I can know without having the product in my hands, or installed on my system, whether or not an article supposed to be "Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 bit" is actually authentic. Is there a relevant question, can I ask which would identify a fake before I part with my money?

  Thanks in advance for any help you are able to offer.

  No, Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP Mode is free for users of Windows 7 Professional. To learn more:

  Is there a reason why my 2D design program which works perfectly under XP Pro x 64 (WOW64) should not be running in the above "Windows XP Mode"?

  Personally, I've used several graphic programs 2D and 3D even on Windows XP Mode, include The Print Shop, PhotoDraw 2000 v2 and they work very well to this topic. The article I linked to provide instructions how to publish your applications, you can use alongside Windows 7 applications.

  Furthermore, I believe that I have several choices on how how to get 'XP' ' 7'.

  1) "OEM", the less expensive but, I understand, once installed on a clean hard disk only, that is all. End, end of story! What should I do if my motherboard fails and needs to be replaced? Can I get a replacement license or I have to buy an another OEM?

  No, you will need to purchase a new license if your Windows 7 OEM System Builder License fails. You could of course try install and reactivate the components on the new motherboard before buying a new license, because some people have been 'lucky' get it reactive but is is not a guarantee. If the motherboard is replaced based on a defect or warranty, you should be able to reactivate the replacement motherboard.

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  2) 'Upgrade' which I believe will overwrite an existing operating system (matter if it's XP or Vista?) and install "Windows 7". Here are all my existing files maintained? If this is not the case, can I 'restore' to a 'Backup' created by XP?

  If you do not want to restore Windows XP someday, I suggest that you backup before migrating to Windows 7.

• License OEM Windows 7 Professional 32-bit come with downgrade rights to XP Professional?

  If I buy a copy of (System Integrator) OEM Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit, does include downgrade rights to Windows XP Pro?

  I build essentially the individual PCs for personal use and small businesses; However, I have a client who seeks PCs 35 at point of sale that will have access to a central server.  Although I recommended the use of XP mode in Windows 7, my customer has been informed by its supplier of software that XP Pro is the best option for the current version of the software.

  Although I could purchase copies of XP Pro OEM, my concern is that - during the life cycle of these PCs - my client will have to migrate to Windows 7, as new versions of its software point of sale are available.  If possible, I would like the opportunity to buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses, installation of XP Pro with downgrade rights and later have the ability to change to Windows 7 without having to purchase new licenses.  Is it an option if I buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses?

  Also, I need 35 licenses for a single customer, volume licenses would be more cost-effective?  My current Windows 7 Pro OEM or Windows XP Pro OEM price is about $ 150 per license.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  Yes, a version of Windows 7 Professional OEM rights to downgrade to Windows XP Professional.  Volume license is not a scheme of licensing "for resale.

• Download and install Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

  I ve bought a 4730 HP's Probook s with a Windows 7 Professional 64 pieces preinstalled.

  I want to downgrade to a Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. How can I do?

  Thank you

  Jose C. Martin

  Hello

  This is an option that you can use.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the activation code on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  First, click on the Start Menu, open computer and double-click Local C drive - you should see a folder called swsetup.  This will contain all the driver installers and almost every program to install the software for your laptop - support this until an external support/device.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the OS exactly the same as originally supplied with your laptop, but the 32-bit version ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• With the help of Western WD50EZRX Digitial 5 to drive on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

  Hello

  I bought this new Western Digital Green 5 to drive as a device of storage, but somehow, Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on both my Dell Optiplex 990 (with Bios A19) and Dell Studio XPS 8100 (with Bios A05) can't see the ability beyond 561 GB (instead of 5 TB).

  So... having to him.

  Your hardware may be different from the PC to your wife, so does not support the feature. Or your drivers are not updated.

  It would be useful that you could provide us with the details of your hardware and the driver version. Use Device Manager to find it. Open Start, right click on the link to the computer , and then select Manage. Then, in the left part of the window that opens, click on Device Manager.

• Where to get the CD to upgrade Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit (non OEM)?

  I want to move from 32-bit Vista Business Edition without wiping my whole system.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  Full version (retail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
  -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
  -Expensive

  Upgrade version (detail):

  -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.
  -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.
  -Expensive, but less expensive full version

  OEM System Builder version:

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

• Hibernate not available after powercfg-h on in Windows 7 Professional 32 bit

  This is recently cleaned installation of windows 7 Professional 32 bit on my laptop HP Pavilion dv6330ea PC, had previously vista home premium 32-bit.

  I noticed that the hibernation is missing. I have run cmd as administrator and run powercfg h
  and restarted my system but always Hibernate does not appear.

  Finally, I found a solution to my own post after a long time.

  Hybrid sleep is another new feature of energy saving designed primarily for desktop computers. Hybrid sleep saves all open documents and programs in memory and on your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low power state.

  Unlike laptops, desktops have generally not focused on backup battery power. So a power failure sudden to a desktop in standard sleep mode, you risk data loss.

  But with hybrid sleep is turned on, Windows can restore your work to your hard drive. On desktop computers, hybrid sleep is usually on by default.

  When hybrid sleep is turned on, clicking sleep automatically puts your computer into hybrid sleep. When hybrid sleep is turned off, or if your computer doesn't support hybrid sleep, clicking Sleep puts the computer to sleep.

  To enable or disable hybrid sleep:

  1. Open Power Options by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Power Options.

  2. On the select a power plan page, click on change settings for the plan under the selected plan.

  3. The parameters of change for the plan of the page, click on change advanced power settings.

  4. On the Advanced Settings tab, expand sleep, expand hybrid sleep allow and then do one of the following:

     • If you are using a mobile PC, click on battery or plugged (or both), click the arrow, and then click.

     • If you are using a desktop computer, click setting, click the arrow and then click.

  5. Click OK and then click on save changes.

• A backup copy of programs of productivity on a windows 7 Home premium 64-bit PC back to a new windows 7 Professional 64 bit PC?

  My task: I backed up all productivity software to a windows 7 home premium 64 - bit PC (which is currently retired) on an external hard drive. I want to use several of these programs on a new PC running windows 7 Professional 64 bit OS. I think I may have several ways to accomplish this task and seeks your advice on the following techniques.

  1. I could remove the hard drive from the old PC and use it as a second hard drive in the new PC. If I do that I must leave the operating system on the drive?

  2. can I just restore my backup to the new PC?

  3. even though I have the original program CD, license restrictions limit the number of times, some programs can be installed and activated. I have addressed the issues of licensining to several software manufacturers of my software, including shade (by PaperPort, Omnipage, etc.) and am waiting for answers.

  4. I also consider the creation of a system dual boot, but I believe that the windows 7 Home Edition premium OS should be the default OS. This change would probably cancel my warranty with HP.

  5 Please, don't limit your answers to the above ideas. I would appreciate your help or suggestions on the best way (if any) to accomplish my task.  Thank you.

  Programs don't return because there is more than one program that just running the main folder.

  When a program installs it puts the files in the Windows system folders. If these files are not present in the active operating system, they most likely will not work. Much depends on how dependent of the program is on files in system folders.

  If you have the original CD for the programs in question, re - install. Relative to the license, as long as the programs are installed and running on a single computer ONLY, there should be no problem at all...

  When you program discs, there is no point in dual-boot. Don't make life more difficult for yourself...
