Does a windows machine 7 be improved from 32 bit to 64 bit

I installed Windows 7 32 bit initially.  Now I want to upgrade my pc to 64-bit.  Will work the same key of windows 7 or has she been blocked to a 32-bit?  To clarify, I'm not saying I want two different PCs at the same time, one 32-bit running the other 64-bit.

The key is good for installing 32-bit or 64-bit. Since you have already activated Windows, you may need to activate by phone this time.

An 'upgrade' is not possible, you will need to perform a "Custom" / clean install of Windows 64-bit when moving from a 32-bit to a 64-bit version. This means that you need to back up your data (Documents, music, Photos, Etc.) to external media files before you install the 64-bit version and restore them after the installation and activation of Windows. See Keyless-install and device drivers (download the 64-bit version of the drivers to the outside before you start media) section of my post.

====================== Keyless Install ================================

How to make a 'Keyless Install"of Windows:

Boot from the Windows 7 DVD disc, you create and launch the installation.

After you have entered the user name and password that you will be asked:
"Type your Windows product key", do not enter a key.
Also located just below the box where you enter the key is a box with a check mark
to "Automatically activate Windows when I'm online", remove the check box and click "next".

You now have a 30-day grace period to activate Windows.

During the grace period, you can install your device drivers,
run Windows updates and solve other problems or issues.
Once you are satisfied everything is working properly, and then activate Windows.

====================== Device Drivers ===============================

If you haven't already done so, go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for the drivers for Windows 7 "64-bit" for your specific model number.

Download to a folder on your disk and install all of them, starting with the card drivers mother/chipset, SATA, LAN, Audio, USB, graphics, Webcam, Etc., and so on.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium - 'Upgrade' from 32 bit to 64 bit?

    Two years ago, I used a student contract to purchase an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7. At the time, I chose to download the 32-bit version and used the product key, I got with this version.

    Now, I wish for a clean install and choose the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. My PC seems to be ready, the Compatibility Center Windows says there is no problem with hard-ware. However, because I downloaded from the store, I have only a version of the 32-bit client on the spot.

    I'll be able to run a clean install and use the product key that is currently used with my 32-bit Windows 7 with a downloaded version of the 64-bit client? If so, it is legal to download a generic version of the Windows 7 64-bit client considering I have the product key is legitimate? I can't go back into the store to choose a different download for some reason link any.

    I would like to move to a 64 bit version of Windows 7 without having to repurchase all of the operating system, as it is too expensive for me right now.

    Unable to start installing Windows 7 32 bit, you must boot from the disc.

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    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.

    Hello

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the former was preinstalled, NO, you cannot transfer it.

    Read this information:

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    Please help urgently...

    If I understand TransferFile, what it is he's looking for the files in the local where the application is running, and then them SFTP file system to the remote system (server.hostname). Local here is the perspective from which the application runs.

    I developed a code that sends the local system in unix box file successfully on the client side (I connect to the unix box using VPN client-side) provided that I run the code in my eclipse IDE present in the local system.

    The reason the works above is defined in localmachine.watchFolder file/directory exists in Windows machine when you run the code. In case above you run Eclipse; the same would apply if you run the jar file outside Eclipse on the same machine.

    When you run on the Unix machine while keeping the unchanged Config.xml, the application will search the directory defined in localmachine.watchFolder in the local of the UNIX file system, which obviously does not exist because the property is still set on "D: / / textFiles / / '-this way only exists in your Windows box.

    Do not look into the code again to understand what it actually does. There is nothing in the code that will reach out to the file "D: / / textFiles / /" your Windows box when the application runs on the Unix machine. The code is written to always look for the directory/folder (located in localmachine.watchFolder) in the local machine file system.

    If you want the ability to transfer files from your Windows machine to Unix machine with the application running on the Unix machine, you will need to change your code and the Config.xml file for:

    1. connect to your Windows box
    2. 'cd' to ' D: / / textFiles / / ' in your Windows box
    3. 'get' files in the file to the Unix machine

    This requires that your Windows box, such as the Unix box, willing to apply running SFTP server.

    What exactly does the Time Machine backup?

    We have a Mac Pro towers (NOT for sale) and Mac mini with several hard drives installed internally.   Time Machine backup all internal disks or just the boot disk?   This can be configured?

    Time Machine backs up your default boot partition. However, if you have more than one drive or partition on your Mac (and it is formatted in "Mac OS extended (journaled)"), you can set the Time Machine to save these drives too. You can do this by removing these drives from the list of excluded items in System-> Time Machine-> Options...
