EliteBook 750 G2: windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit

Hello world

I bought a HP EliteBook less than a year ago and it comes with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. The laptop has 8 GB of RAM installed, of which half can be used at the present time. I did not realize the limitation when I bought the thing!

I would like to install Win 7 64 bit to make use of all of the RAM. I realize that it will take to reinstall all my programs, etc. From what I can tell, the computer seems capable of running a 64 bit OS.

What I was asking is whether I can use the Win 7 Pro 64 bit installation disc provided with the laptop computer to make the change. Only problem, is that I don't seem to have a Windows product key. Can find no sticker on the laptop and the key-coded in the registry gives an error when I try to check with Microsoft.

So (1) will drive works? And (2) I need a key, I do not have? HP will give me a button if I call them? Help!

Thank you very much

J.D. Walker

(1) Yes, the disk will work.

(2) it is unlikely that HP will give you a key. You may or may not need a key depending on the HP disc gave you. If the drive has been modified by HP, it can contain keys SLP and a SLP certificate which, when used with an OEM computer with a good automatic SLIC table active. Please read my answer in HP Windows 8 downgrade Win 7 HP 8300 SFF - No. Win 7 OEM sticker. Attention to the sections 1, 2, 4 and 5. Download RWEverything and ABR Beta with Support Windows 7. If your computer has a SLIC2.1 table, then he can use a key SLP and CERT. Use ABR Beta to backup the current key and CERT. on your Windows 7 32 bit HP preinstalled OS. Use ABR Beta to restore the key and CERT. on your new installation.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • P6 - 2155a: HP Pavilion P6 2155a Asus GTX 750 Ti Windows 7 home 64-bit

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone might be able to help please... My nephew has a P6 HP 2155 (H1N09AA #ABG) has with Windows 7 64 bit.  I bought her a card video Asus GTX 750 Ti (this card requires no additional power from the power supply).  When I install the machine stays on the initial startup of HP screen and progresses then (after some time) to a black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left side.  There is no bios beeps to indicate that the card is faulty or does not work in the machine.

    I read that some people have had some successes, but I can't solve this problem.  I read that a bios upgrade may be required, but visit the HP support page there is no bios section under drivers/software suggesting that there has been no update published by hp.

    I saw that there is an update of the bios for Windows 8 OS.  I saw also there are a few updates BIOS Driverguru but I'm a little nervous trying the ROM with the HP not downloaded flash software.  Perhaps these Driverguru bios updates are motherboard Μatx-H61-Joshua but not the variant of HP.

    So I wonder, someone at - it pointers or suggestions?  I know the video card works as I have tried in my HP 8300 Series machine and it works without any fault.

    I really appreciate if anyone has suggestions and thank you for reading about my problem.

  • No sound from HP - 8560p, windows 7 64 bit elitebook docking station

    I was issued a laptop Elitebook 8560p for use with a 90 W HP Docking station at work.  When the laptop is plugged into the docking station, the port ' audio out ' of the docking station does not work.  The sound continues to come out of the computer laptop speakers, or, if I plug the headphones into the headphone for laptop, it comes out of the helmet.  Plug the headphones into the Docking Station does not all the sounds (either of the two audio ports - in or out).  When the laptop is plugged into the docking station, no additional reading device does appear in the audio menu - just an output HDMI AMD (disabled) and speakers (activated).

    The speakers/headphones on the laptop works fine, the problem is just that the docking station is in no way "replica" or the audio output support and it's as if the port of the enclosure of the dock just weren't there.  So, I could use my headset by plugging directly to the laptop, but this really seems to defeat the whole concept of a docking station.  All other ports (video, usb) seem to work on the docking station.

    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit.

    I reinstalled the sound driver (for laptop) so that the laptop was plugged into the dock.  That did the trick.

    It is understandable and disappointing.

    Is there any kind of emulator-type of a solution to synchronize?

  • Upgrade windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit

    Hello

    The elitebook 8540p, that I bought at my University did not provide with a disc of windows 7 installation.  When I started my laptop BIOS installed itself with a 32-bit version of windows 7. I recently became interested in upgrading my laptop and noticed that my elitebook can coop with a 64-bit version of windows 7.

    I was wondering;

    • Why a 32-bit version was installed instead of a 64-bit version. Y at - it a reasonable explanation to this?
    • Can I upgrade my windows 64-bit?
    • If I can, how can I get Diskless windows 7 installation?
    • If I upgrade my 64-bit system, what should I take into account? What I lose every program and file on my hard drive? I need to reinstall the drivers or this will be done automatically?
    • How to really move my system? What steps should I take exactly?

    I hope someone can help me and give me a good explanation!

    Thanks in advance

    I think you have the wrong with this "BIOS installed itself with a 32-bit version of windows 7" installing windows 7 has had to come back from another source, because the BIOS does not only.  Since the University has provided the unit, they may have a special arrangement with the supplier who made the installation and it is everything the University bought from the supplier.

    "Can I upgrade my windows 64-bit?" N ° if you want a 64 bit OS, it must be installed from a 64-bit Windows installation source, there is no option to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.  You can use the same key 32-bit installation is currently using but an installation media containing the 64-bit Windows 7 operating system should be used.

    "If I upgrade my 64-bit system, what should I take into account? What I lose every program and file on my hard drive? I need to reinstall the drivers or this will be done automatically? "Backup all data needed to maintain and fix the drivers for all devices before clamping 32 bit install to make sure that you can find.  Install Windows 7 may be able to find, but there still maybe not, then do your homework on this.

  • Cannot install wc3 on elitebook hp with windows 7

    Hi KiD_CuD1,
     
    1. What is the exact message?
    2. using 64-bit or the 32-bit version of the operating system?
     
    Installing the game cannot continue due to some reasons such as:
     
    1 game corrupt in the DVD.
    2. the stripes or impure DVD.
    3 previous World Of Warcraft installation files on the computer that could not be rewritten.
    4. any security or any other application program blocks installation.

    Step 1: Clean the disc
     
    Clean the CD or the DVD. To do this, use a disc cleaning kit. Or gently wipe the silver side of the disc with a soft and Lint cotton cloth. Do not use cloth of paper which can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the disc, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the problem persists, clean the disc with a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly until you insert the disc in the drive.
                     
    Step 2: If the steps above don't fix the issue, I recommend you contact the support of World of Warcraft for the replaced disk.

    original title: everything just curious...

    Hello

    Check with your system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for custom systems) to see if your computer
    can run Windows 7. If so check to see if it can run 64-bit which has higher minimum
    requirements than 32-bit. Finally check to see if the hardware upgrades that you make will be
    work in this computer. Don't forget if you spend a lot of money on upgrades, you may have
    but could a new computer for the same price. And then you'd have two systems.

    Also check the Compatibility Center
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    To see if you can run XP, Vista, or Windows 7 64-BIT, you will need to check with the system
    manufacturer if it is 64-bit capable. Are there drivers 64-bit for all devices? To run 64-bit you
    need 64-bit drivers (and the system must be able to run this version of Windows 64-bit).

  • Beats Studio Wireless - Device missing Bluetooth for Windows 7 64 bit OS drivers

    I have a HP Elitebook 9480 m notebook, running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit OS.  I just got this machine and my previous machine was running Windows 7 32 bit OS.

    My problem is that when I go to install my wireless on the Elitebook Beats Studio headphone, it does not find the Bluetooth device drivers.

    I called Apple support (now support produced Beats), contacted HP support and visited with my COMPUTER service company hoping to copy the drivers through my old machine (helmet worked on an old machine) and no solution has been found.

    Copy the drivers through did not work as my machine would not find them when we asked it to look for them.  We have, however, learned that the driver that was used on my old machine was a Microsoft driver, specifically the pilot called btwavdt.sys.

    I need an updated version of this driver, or the equivalent of 64-bit if it is not already compatible with 64 bit computers, in order to properly install my helmet.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Since you're using Windows 7 Enterprise edition of the operating system, your question would be better suited for the IT Pro audience. This is why I would recommend posting your query in the TechNet Forums.

  • conflicts of Outlook and firefox on Windows XP 32-bit

    Problem reports and fix:
    Latest Firefox on Windows XP 32-bit.

    Earlier, Microsoft Office updates have been applied in the past months.

    There were a lot of problems where Outlook and Firefox seem to share the same video address space, parts of Windows Outlook appeared in the windows of Firefox and vice verse. It's a pain. I needed to have one or another stop for each other at work and then things got worse than that, Firefox crashing very often. So I did a system restore to the 01/01/2015, which has removed the MS Office updates. Then Firefox and then didn't start because he didn't like the system restore. Reinstalled Firefox on top of Firefox [uninstall] and it starts now.

    Now, Firefox and Outlook work well. Will not apply to MS Office updates as MS is not stable or worrying questions about Windows XP.

    The problem has been fixed. You are implying that restored system restored a video driver update and that was not the case. Yes, the video display problem in question, but it doesn't seem to be a video driver issue.

    I posted with the solution so that it would be here if someone had a similar problem. I don't know why you trying to tell me how to fix something I said has been set.
