  so it should consider Win8 as being more available with Win7 support for installation on this machine?

• Try to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit

  After upgrading to Vista Home 32 bit to Windows 7 Home 64 Bit for a test with my software:

  It will be possible to downgrade to Windows 7 32 Bit or to install with this updated DVD?

  Or will I have to get back to Vista 32 Bit and upgrade to Win 7 32 bit?

  Thanks for the tips

  Hello

  To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly.

  You can only change Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit. An upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit OS is not possible! Therefore, you must make a clean and new installation.

  If you want to go back to Vista, you must use the Toshiba Recovery disk or disk Microsoft Vista.

• Upgrade from Vista Ultimate 32 bit to Windows 7 Home Premium

  I'm running a GM 5424 Gateway System I bought with Vista 32 Ultimate on it.    A year ago I bought the dvd of Windows 7 Home Premium at Wal-Mart.    Can I do a upgrade in place without having to reinstall all my programs application?   I understand the Win 7 Upgrade advisor a few programs may not be compatible and is not a problem.

  I was wondering if the upgrade in place is available for this combination or to I need to do a clean install (which I am dreading because it means at least a week of work to re - install everything what I really need.)     Whether it is a new installation or an upgrade in place, I also know that I have several days of Windows updates for Windows 7 until the current patch level, since the OEM Win/7 disc includes only through SP 1.    I have other computers (laptops) running Windows 7 and 8 to win.

  My PC has a 500 GB drive and I've upgraded to 8 GB of memory in a couple of years (I realize the 32 bit OS does not use everything), but I want to go to the 64-bit version of Win/7 since my CPU and hardware will support it.   I've already replaced my NIC with a compatible card Win/7.

  I already intend to have at least 2 backups made to two different USB 1 terabyte disk drives and also will have all of my data backed up online via BackBlaze.

  Please notify.  Thanks in advance!

  Yes, no problem, as long as you stick with 32-bit Windows. And almost
  all the programs will be compatible.

  or that I must do a clean install (which I am dreading because it means at least a week of work to re - install everything what I really need.)

  but I want to go to the 64-bit version of Win/7 because my processor and hardware will support it.

  However, it is not possible to change the number of 'bits' of Windows, of
  32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa. The only way to get there is what you
  Dread - a new installation.

  Another point: Windows 7 is now two generations old. As far as I am
  concerned, she brings more much sense to upgrade to a young person of these
  Version. I recommend going to 10 Windows instead.

• Upgrade to Win 7 32 bit to Win 7 64 bit

  A few years back, I bought a Win 7 upgrade pack who had licenses for three computers.  The upgrades were available as 32-bit or 64-bit.  I have now updated three of my XP computers and make them all running and enabled.  Unfortunately, by mistake I made one a 32-bit improvements.  I would like to correct this and reinstall as a 64-bit (as I contemplate the possibility of a Win 10 update).

  My concern is try a new installation of 64-bit on 32-bit installation will result in denial of activation as this can be considered a fourth facility of a three license upgrade pack.  Can someone clarify this before I attempt an upgrade?

  Thank you

  You're still allowed to clean reinstall Windows 7 as often as you want and always re-enable generally without special measures because the material is already associated with this product key, but even if not you can migrate to Windows 7 at retail to any other PC whenever you want as long as it's only on (in the case of Family Pack) 3 PCs at a time.

  If you have problems with Activation, open a command prompt, type slui 4, then press ENTER, follow the prompts to re-activate that refreshes the the hardware ID in the Activation of MS. servers  If it detects possible installation of additional hardware device it will ask the key question "PC how much this copy is installed on?" to which in your case, you can answer only up to 3.  This gives permission to MS to disable it on any PC excesses that do not already have their signature of material recorded for this product key in their servers.

  If for some reason, this fails, stay on the line for the activating agent and explain your situation.  Normally this solve the problems, but if not Service the customer is responsible to ensure that a valid key gets all its due installs and will open a case of support to ensure that this happens.  If this is not the case, let us know here.

• Is it possible to install WIN 7 32 bit on Qosmio X 500 - 167

  Hello

  is it possible to install WIN 7 32 bit on a Qosmio X 500 167
  Where can I get the drivers?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Of course you can install Windows 7 on this laptop why not?

  Even if Win 7 32-bit drivers are not released on the European driver Toshiba page, you could install this OS.

  Most devices use the same drivers. For example, you can check out 32-bit drivers for X 300 series.

• HP ENVY tilted 23-k000a Touch: terribly slow internet wifi after upgrade to win8.1 - ENVY tilted 23-k000a Touch

  I bought a few weeks ago.

  After upgrading to win8.1, I noticed the speed of internet was slow, I'm on a connection "Ultra-fast VDSL" yet all downloads by wireless are 15 to 25kbs max.

  If I connect the cable to the modem and disconnect the wireless connection, I get 200 to 300 kbs as I should, but then my game of Ryan box can't find my computer, as soon as I reconnect wireless it can.

  OK, maybe two questions here, but to start I would like to help to get the connection wireless operating at the speed it should.

  Thank you, John

  Maybe I should say kBs...

• Upgrade to Win8.1

  I upgraded from win8 to win8.1 on my HP Pavilion model 15-e011nr. I can't restart and download on the desktop. The notebook PC goes in a cycle of auto repair, then gives the choice to reboot or try the advanced options. I tried to use F8 or delete to go in safe mode. You hold the key or continue to press several times during the startup of the computer to the top? Or is there another method to get in safe mode. Could someone please answer?

  It seems that after the update to Windows 8 to 8.1, the laptop is now browse auto repair. That you can't seem to get to stop the loop. I will do my best to help you with this.

  Regarding your first question on the entry of safe mode, this document will help you: Safe Mode of Windows 8. Read it and see if Windows allows you to get far enough to see one of the screens. If it does not, consult this section "Safe Mode of seizure have not access to the boot parameters. Once in safe mode, you should try Windows recovery.

• P 8470 & HP HP 8440 P: upgrading to W10 Pro 64 bit / device Reporting - unknown device manager

  I have recently upgraded to Windows Pro 64-bit 10.  Machines involved are - 8440p & 8470p running W7 Pro 64-bit.

  The Device Manager shows an unknown device - ACPI\HPQ6000\3 & 33FD14CA & 0.

  Could someone tell me what this is in reference to.  Perhaps point to a driver that I could update.

  Thank you / / Jeff

  You are the very welcome.

  The reason why you don't see the driver is because most of the drivers are missing in support pages, which have not worked directly for HP split into 2 companies from 1 August.

  This is certainly the driver you need.  If the version of W7 works, I can't say.

  See if it works.

  FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp59001-59500/sp59282.exe

  If this driver does the same thing...

  Go to Device Manager and click on the unknown device of 6000 who need pilots.

  Click on the driver tab, click on set to update driver.  Select her browse my computer for driver software option, then at the bottom of this window, let pick me from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.

  Click on disk and go to C:\SWSetup\sp59282\accelerometer and select the HP Mobile Data Protection sensor and see if the pilot goes like this.

  Here's a partial copy and paste of the accelerometer installation information file.

  As you can see the device is supported by the driver.

  But it's the most recent driver is there, I know.

• Someone knows how to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit to dm3?

  Hi all

  Recently, I bought my computer laptop pavilion dm3-1028tx (sp9300, 4 GB ddr3). Unfortunely only it comes with oem windows 7 Home premium 32-bit instead of windows 7 64-bit.

  Due to the characteristic of 32 bits, its only 3 GB of ram could be used.

  IM plan to upgrade my windows 7 Home premium 32-bit to 64-bit windows 7 home premiun.

  I tried to contact microsoft in my country, they said I should ask to HP, if I could spend my windows because its OEM.

  Someone knows how to upgrade my windows 7 32 bit to windows 7 64 bit without having to buy a new one? Please help me I do not know.

  Thanks a lot guys

  Unfortunately, you will need to buy the 64-bit version, unless you can get HP to you give 64-bit free citing inability to use all of the memory as a customer support/advocacy.   But you should check on HP website to see if your model was first 64-bit drivers.

  He will have to do a new installation as well.  And if HP is not actively support 64-bit for your model, you will lose the HP software (most consider bloatware anyway).  You will also lose built in recovery option.  So, at least, make sure you create your restore disks.

  You may be able to wash to recover the partition, but I don't know how you would be able to use it without recovery software that HP has loaded.

• Upgrade Vista Home Preimum 32 bit to 64 bit OEM

  I currently have a copy of Vista HP 32 bit I have installed from an OEM disk on a system that I built myself.   I read that forms and some people have said that they got a new drive with 64 bit, but as far as I can tell that these people had the commercial version.  I'm OK with buying a new drive for $10, but I prefer to buy a new copy of Windows.  Is there anyway I can upgrade to Vista HP 64-bit without having to buy a new windows license?   If I can just get a new drive and not to get a new key where can I call to order the disc?

  Unfortunately, the disks in 64-bit of Windows Vista are no longer available.
