Decommissioning 64 Win7 32 bit

We plan to buy (Tigerdirect) a PC refurbished which has Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and upgrade it to Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. I already have for Windows 7 32 - bit support, a USB key with the Installer (downloaded from DigitalRiver, years ago). The question is, can I downgrade the 64 bit to 32 bit using my media, and then use the same product key supplied with the 64-bit to 32-bit install? The product key can be read "Rebuilt", so I have no idea if I'll find it difficult to do the downgrade.

Tonight, I visited the store of Tigerdirect here in Puerto Rico, just to ask an another sales associate. A few days before, a sales associate told me I could buy the 64-bit PC and he go down to 32-bit. Guess what? Another told me the opposite. He told me that the product key is related to the version of Windows 64-bit.

Not true, the product key is not specific architecture (32 or 64-bit) as long as it's the same edition, the product key will work.

I refuse to believe that it is true because Microsoft used to offer the Win 7 32 and 64-bit versions on the same DVD, a product key. So why the product key should be clean now? I don't understand. Why Tigerdirect people lie to a customer?

TigerDirect Sales Associate is misinformed.

  • Decommissioning of win7 64-bit to 32-bit win7

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite 410 T with a processor Intel I7 Professional Windows 7 64 bit and want to downgrade to windows 7 32 bit. Is this possible. I understand that HP does not support this configuration, but I can't get a direct customer service response if it is possible to do. All I have is that my model is not compatible windows 7 32 bit. Can someone explain to me why he will not support 32-bit operating system because the HP customer service cannot.

    Thanks for any help...

    Hello

    Your PC will certainly support a 32-bit installation, but you cannot convert your existing installation of 64-bit to a 32-bit, one - would need to do a clean install of Windows 7 32-bit and so would need an installation disc for what will probably say buy a copy retail.  It may be useful to contact HP and see if they would send you a set of recovery disks of 32 bits for your PC that would cost less if they would.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If your only option is to buy a copy of the sale at retail of Windows 7 in order to install the 32-bit version (the commercial version will contain records for 32 and 64 bit), you can check the available downloads for your PC running 32-bit installation on the link below so that you will not lose all the software you need.

  • I went from a Win7 32-bit on a 64-bit win7 machine computer. Now, I get "this connection is not approved" any solution? tried everything

    I went from a Win7 32-bit on a 64-bit win7 machine computer. Now, I get "this connection is not approved" on many pages, including support for Mozilla, Yahoo, send a mail to yahoo, etc. The only thing that has changed is my computer. Everything worked on the 32-bit system. I tried DELL-no-help, I tried Norton-no-help - I tried all published recommendations - nothing helped. Can someone give an explanation of how solve this incompatibility (presumed) Win7 64 bit computers? How can I quickly and absolutely get rid of MESSAGES "THIS CONNECTION IS UNTRUSTED"?
    Thanks for ANY help from an expert.

    Right after that I posted this problem it seemed the solution:
    I noticed a pop-up, named "BROWSERSAFEGUARD" who has attempted to set my computer to a "cleaner" for a price. I checked in my installed programs if there was a "Browsersafeguard" and he was there. I uninstalled it, check "incompatible with my system" and my computer turned on like never before. Lightning fast connections and no message more "this connection is not approved. Wow. It took me 7 days to find it. Hope this will help you, too. Send a message to this one to let me know if it solved your problem

  • Win7 64 bit on Satellite A100-646

    Hi all
    It is possible to install Win7 64 bit version on laptop A100-646?
    I think that the support from toshiba (drivers) for this OS is not complete for my 'old' laptop

    Thank you very much
    Concerning

    I m afraid 64 bit is not supported, but you can try to install it anyway and check what are the missing drivers. Maybe some drivers for A200 and A300 can be used.

    I also saw that A100 (PSAA9E) is supported for Win7 32 bit. Install the 32-bit version. It's Ok, and I hope that it wil run on your laptop. I use 32 bit on A300 and I m very happy.

    I just bought new laptop toshiba L500-208 recently. And I have absolutely no idea how to deal with this new kind of things! Please help me!
    I had a number of compaq for 5 years, when I have the format window just use 1 cd and this finished!

    But now that I do not understand I have win7 64 bit (when I bought it), but I have the 32-bit recovery disc.
    I want to know that if I portable format and use this recovery disk, I won't lose 64 bit, right?
    What happens if I have 64 bit for installation next, what I have to do? Please help me too...
    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    The situation is simply. If you check the market of PC and laptop, you will see that new products will be offered with operating systems 64-bit.
    So, the production of software goes slowly in that direction.

    Toshiba offers all new notebook with 64-bit operating system, but also provide you with the 32-bit version if you feel comfortable with it and if you want to use some software not designed for 64-bit operating systems.

    Your laptop comes with the HARD drive recovery image and if you read s manuals you can find info you need to create own recovery DVDs.
    This can be done with the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. The shortcut for this tool, you can find on the desktop.

    So, before you anything please create this installation disc. After doing this, you can install the 32-bit version and use so long desired.
    When you want to have the 64-bit version to use the new created the recovery for the installation disk.

    I hope you now understand how it works.
    If you have any other questions please let me know.

    Who may be of concern,

    I'm Felix of Indonesia.
    I bought a used laptop Toshiba L755 in Indonesia of Indonesian citizen who has never put this phone in Indonesia.

    Because of the availability of software that wasn't installed on my laptop, I downgrade my Windows 7 Home premium OEM 64 bit for Windows 7 32-bit operating system. I spoke with representatives of the Indonesia, they told me that I must ask the OS from Toshiba Software in UAE UNITED (origin of the laptop).

    I really need some advice because I can get (doenload) this Windows 7 HP 32 bit.

    Kind regards
    Felix

    Can you please post exact phone model or part number. You can find information about Toshiba sticker placed on the bottom of your machine.

    Using this part number, we can check Toshiba UAE download page and make sure that Win7 32-bit drivers are available or not.

  • Win7 64 bit drivers Satellite U300?

    Have a U300 that was installed with Win7 64-bit, could someone provide me with information about 64-bit audio drivers and other drivers for Win7 64 bit?, or what I need to get down to 32 bit Win7?

    Hello

    No, you don't need to go back to the 32-bit system n.
    The drivers can be researched at your own hand.

    For example the tool as VAP (value added package), utility support of flash memory card are not related to a specific model laptop and can be downloaded from other series of laptop.
    LAN driver, touchpad and similar pilot can be also downloaded from the driver page.

    In addition, here you can find the portal WiFi and BT which contains the drivers:

    Hello!

    I need drivers to install WIN7 x 64 on THNSNH256GMCT mSATA SSD

    Serial number on my product is 23NS10BFTABY

    Thank you!

    This serial number does not help much. It will be better if you can display the name of the exact model laptop and the model number.

    Anyway, visit Toshiba support and download page for your country and if your laptop model is supported for Win7 64 bit, you should be able to find all of the necessary drivers, tools and utilities.

  • Need to Win7 32 bit drivers for Satellite C660-1MP

    I recently bought by Satellite C660-1MP
    Product Code PSC1NE - 006004G 5

    I bought Windows7 32 bit

    I tried 32 bit drivers on the toshiba site and there is no 32-bit. I tried vain to 64-bit.

    Please advice if you have the correct drivers. I canoe install the 64-bit version caused you some conflicts between applications.

    You are right. Drivers for Win7 32-bit are not available. But there is one interesting thing: your laptop has Intel HM65 Express Chipset, this chipset is offered on several other models and none of them are supported for 32 bit OS.

    I tried to find something but unfortunately without success. I'm sorry. Try to find the driver on Intel support page. If you have made know us. We can try to find other important factors.

  • Change Win7 64-bit to 32-bit on the Satellite Pro C660-16N

    Hello.

    >... Satellite Pro C660-16N - Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium pre-installed...

    Nobody knows what the best route is change Win7 64 bit for Win7 32 bit. This model has a 32-bit install on HARD drive recovery option?

    Or he will have to do a clean install of Win7 32 bit DVD.

    Thank you very much.

    I guess that this laptop is available with 64-bit only (specification) and there is only one way to install the version OS 32-bit, you must install it using original Microsoft Win7 32 bit installation disc.
    Please note: for the activation of the operating system, you can use the product key from the sticker. You must purchase a new license for your own installation.

    By the way: also check if this laptop model is supported for 32-bit version. You can do this on Toshiba support and download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.
