Dual boot two copies of win 7 32 bit with a single license disk

I have WIN 7 pro. I want two copies of 32-bit dual boot on two drives on a computer. I can explain the reasons if necessary but I do not too long.

My question is, is it technically possible and legal? My research gave confusing answers.

Thank you.

No, the key that can be used with 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 is exclusively for use with the disc 1. You cannot use install both. 1 license, 1 installation, so choose wisely. If you want to install Windows 7 32 bit on another partition or another computer, you must purchase an additional license.

  • Updating Win 7 32 Bit to Win 7 64 bit with the same product key

    Hey,.

    I bought a laptop computer where is installed Win 7 Pro 32 Bit. Now, I want to install Win 7 pro 64 bits with the same product key. I have the required software. Is this possible?

    Yes, you can use the same product key to install and activate the 64-bit version.

    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.

  • How can I dual boot two different drives on SATA XP

    I hope this is the right Forum, if not please you could direct me in the right direction.

    I have two SATA drives, each with versions of work in XP SP3.

    C: drive is my installation used, normal most of the time with a lot of programs installed and uninstalled, usually a normal installation that is several years old WORKS most of the time. It contains also some legacy programs that work most of the time, but seem to have a few problems with other unknown parameters, that I have not been able to solve.

    Drive d :) is a new installation of XP with only these programs I have problems with installed and they work fine.

    Currently, if I want to run the XP installation cleaning, I have to unplug the drive c and override it physically with drive D:

    What I want to do is to have the choice at the start of what XP installation to run.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Tom,

    Sorry for the delay in replying, was a lot.

    I tried your second suggestion on the use of the default Windows boot loader and it works a treat! I can now boot from my second drive without disassembling on the side of my computer.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • updating Win 7 32 bit to Win 7 64 bit with output formatting of HARD drive?

    For some reason any my Panasonic Toughbook came with Win 7 Pro 32-bit. The material is prepared according to manufacturer 64-bit. Who could ever think about buying the PC like this (quad CPU, 8 GB of RAM etc) is preloaded with 32-bit? In any case, I talked to people from panasonic, they say, it is not necessary to wipe the HARD drive to upgrade to 64 - bit. and sent the links to the drivers to install and procedures how to. The qUESTIONs ARE! Is it still possible? All programs and apps will work after installation? I'll be able to access the windows after upgrade. If I do a backup of files and settings in 32 bits can restore 64-bit so only the lost data? If not successful can I use same license key 32-bit here to install Win 7 Pro 64 bit. Has it been done before?

    Thank you for all the input

    As the computer was supposed to be provided with 32-bit Windows and 8 GB of RAM their technical knowledge should be considered as somewhat suspect. 32-bit Windows can access up to 3.2 GB (approx.) of RAM, it should be 4 GB, but for technical reasons, it can not, 8 GB would be useless.

    According to the original age of the computer, it only used to be quite true 64 bit software so if a computer has 4 GB of RAM or less, there was little interest in installing Windows x 64. Windows 7 x 64 increases the required minimum memory of 1 GB 2 GB same 4 GB of RAM is questionable, to get an advantage, that it should be more.

    I suspect the specifications of basic material for the system was such that the image of the master has x 32 and nobody at Panasonic said that if they offered an option for 8 GB they needed to provide a revised image.

    Normally OEM software provided as 32-bit or 64-bit, you don't get together in the peloton to the difference in detail so there may be a limitation as to what technique you can install. Then of course there is the problem of knowing where you are going to get the operating system. If the recovery of Panasonic's 32-bit all you have. Unless Panasonic brings that put you with a recovery disc 64-bit, you will need to provide your own license. You obviously have a case if they provided the spec of 8 GB to request a package of them FOC, but I doubt if they will respect.

  • IAC on Win 7 64 bit with VB 2008 Express Edition

    I recently bought a laptop with Windows 7, 64-bit computer. I downloaded Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition to convert an IAC of VB 8 app, no problem with the conversion. Some adjustments are necessary.

    Now for the problem, when I build and run, the application is expected to take a PDF document, what he most early distilled and load it into Acrobat for additional manipulation. Everything works, and including the step distilling.

    I declare

    Dim avdoc As Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc

    and later,.

    avdoc = CreateObject ("AcroExch.AVDoc")

    and still later

    avdoc. Open (PDFFileName, "")

    It doesn't seem to work. The variable
    PDFFileName contains the absolute path to the target PDF.
    The file is not open in Acrobat.

    Has anyone accumulated enough experience with Acrobat 9, Win 7, VB 2008 (Express Ed) to comment on the problem?

  • Dual-booting Win XP Pro SP3 - best practices of size Partition

    Hello. I want to create a dual-boot installation, both using Win XP Pro SP3 on a large hard drive while having an extended partition available for data. I expect in the next two years, going to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. Put the two primary partitions to 20 GB enough or should I go ahead and do 40-50GB each in preparation for a future upgrade. Thank you!

    Just bought a new Tecra A11 computer laptop running WIN7 Pro. Then downloaded and installΘ_ * virtual XP Pro * _ but not happy with the results that a lot of things he can do my other dual boot 17 "computer laptop with Vista/XP Pro will do.

    There are 3 partitions on the HARD disk
    1. active primary recovery 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
    2. principal asset C: start 287 Gb
    3 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

    Can I partition the C: drive in sectors 2 X 145 GB and make the new partition _ * assets * _NTFS?

    When I tried to install Xp Pro on another machine current Win7 partitioned as shown above, it 'blue preset' at the point of loading Xp using the RAID SATA CH8M-E charge via my USB FDD controller. Is it because this SATA driver is not current?

    What is the correct SATA driver?

    Does anyone know for sure that this machine will operate in dual boot Win7/Xp Pro?

    Any help much appreciated

    Yes, you can dual-boot two versions of Windows.

    What you do is:

    Create recovery discs just in case something happens.
    Retractable C: drive at half the size.
    Create a new partition NTFS for XP.
    Download the driver for the controller SATA F6 www.intel.com
    Copy the SATA drivers on a floppy disk
    Boot from your XP (must have SP2 or SP3 slipstreamed) disc, press F6 when you are prompted to use the SATA driver on the floppy drive (to avoid the BSOD 0x0000007B)
    Configure the installation of XP to install on the partition that you created.

    When you restart, XP may have taken over and ignore Win7.
    In this case, you can restore the Win7 boot loader using EasyBCD (google is your friend)

    If the BIOS has an option of SATA controller Mode, simply activate the IDE Mode instead of the SATA driver.

  • Dual boot XP and Vista

    I have vista sp2, I have an update of XP, I also have Win 98, then I install XP and still have Vista? If I can't, I could just wipe the drive and just install XP, I try to get the old game ' keeper dungoen 1' work and I'm having NO luck with vista, as I lost my cd of vista!

    Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...

    If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.

    You can not do a clean install of XP with a XP upgrade disk; you need a version of XP FULL.

  • Help remove vista and options to dual boot with Windows 7

    I think that I have selected the bits from the right here, but please let me know if not.  I recently installed windows 7 and I love it so much I want to remove vista.

    I can't find any instructions on how to make sure (after formatting the drive with Vista on it - it's on a drive of 500 GB physically separated for Win 7) that I can remove the dual boot option, I currently have.  I also read if I do badly I can leave windows 7 unusable.

    Win 7 is a full do not install an upgrade, just like vista.

    Any help on the Microsoft site means how to repair xp, vista or windows 7, so to delete this post.

    Any help or direction is appreciated, I have a few days to make what I just place my order for a 2 TB HDD, so won't try until it happens.

    Hello

    "Just to check and then (which seems easier to me), if I transfer my data from the vista disc (assuming that it is the system disk) then delete and restart with the win7 dvd, a repair will then sign the Windows 7 disk as the system disk and remove any dual boot option?

    Yes, it should work. As the Win7 disk does not currently startup files, made only with this disc a repair will create the most necessary.

    "Out of curiosity if I format the Vista disc, and then restart your computer with the win7 dvd, this will give the same effect as having Remode the floppy disk in the first place?

    No, except if you use Disk Manager to designate the Win7 drive than active first. If you simply format the Vista disk and then run a repair, startup files will be rewritten on the disk of Vista.
