FUSION 5: Try to go from xP 32 bit to 64 bit w W8 / real 64 physical upgrade disc

I MUST be overlooking SOMETHING here.  Scenario #1) using the ACTUAL 64-bit disk upgrade does not work because I get a message that I can not upgrade using a 64-bit with 32-bit disk (logical, I guess). #2 scenario), then I put the BIOS to boot the system to xP from the disk 64 b (in order to continue to work with my current system of 'prove' that I was upgrading a system with my upgrade disk). THAT did not work, it starts the upgrade but then informs me that I have to reboot the system WITHOUT the disc and then insert the disc once the system is in place - that puts me back to the scenario #1 again. I'm going round in circles at this point. For the record, I am successfully able to install this 64 bit Windows8, BUT THEN I can't REGISTER it with Microsoft because it recognizes my KEY to INSTALL a upgrade key and not an installation key FULL. Can someone tell me where I'm wrong? Thanks in advance.  Danny, Allentown, PA

Hi, before you try to upgrade to windows xp, run the upgrade inside your virtual machine Wizard.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8 . Run the link inside the virtual machine.

For detailed steps, see http://communities.vmware.com/thread/423315?tstart=0

As a result of information coming directly from ms site.

Can I move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows 8?

Yes, but you can do this using Upgrade Wizard. If your PC has a 64-bit compatible processor (CPU), but is running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can install a 64-bit version of Windows 8, but you can buy Windows 8 on DVD.

You will also be able to keep all the files, settings, or the apps when you upgrade a 32-bit to a 64-bit version.

  • When you try to install windows 7 64 bit, he asked me to remove the disc and start over, but it does not help. Help, please.

    So I have a 32-bit windows system 7 and I'm trying to upgrade to a windows 7 64-bit system.

    I have an installation disc, and my pc should be able to handle 64-bit.

    However, when I insert the disc (yes my drive is started first in the BIOS)

    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.

    After the first reboot, set the BIOS to boot from the hard drive.

    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.

  • Of failure, white screen MacBook Pro HARD drive try to boot from the external HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a 2008 Macbook Pro which is having some problems, I was able to fix them, but eventually the hard drive failed. I know that because at startup until it would have a white screen Uni (no logo) and you can hear a clicking on in the lower left corner. I thought initially it was a memory problem, but after opening and verification of memory, it's clearly the hard drive.

    I solved this problem temporarily (until I can replace the HARD disk) by installing El captain on an external HARD disc and start from that. Here's the twist, I couldn't he can begin to El captain, I tried CMD + R, CMD + OPT + R, CMD + OPT + R + P and now shift. Everything that's happened would be that clicks would cease to release the keys.

    I left the macbook on while I'm at work, when I got home it was on the screen to connect the external HARD drive.

    I accidentally closed the macbook yesterday and again once when I tried to log on, I could not and I left it on a white screen while I was sleeping. There is a possibility that he may have launched from the HARD drive when I get home, but if not, is there something that escapes me to force do this?

    Usually start up to a blank screen without the Apple Logo, may report one of the following:

    • Hardware failure
    • Boot drive is not recognized as valid and updated updated
    • OS X essential software is missing, hurt moved or renamed or corrupt
    • A firmware update is necessary

    No matter who, in order to boot from an external drive "bootable", you would normally hold down the Option key until you get a screen that offers a number of devices to try to boot from.

    Alternatively, you can try holding down the C key to try to boot from the external drive.

    If none of these startup options work, then the bootable disc or the USB port on your MacBook Pro can be the question.

    Since you have a Mac pre-2013, if you hold down the D key while booting, the built-in Apple Hardware Test should start up.  This can help to identify hardware problems.

  • HP deskjet 3050 j610: when I try to scan from my printer it will not connect

    When I try to scan from my printer I get a message "Cannot find HP deskjet 3050 j610. But I can print from it and get data as ink tank printer. It started abruptly today. It worked OK until a few days ago.  The printer is connected by a USB cable. I tried the driver update and 'repair' menus via HP scanning problems without success.  If I press scan on the printer button it says "scan error. try to scan from computer', but that's what I usually do using the calculation icon in the menu START.

    I solved the problem. The basic steps were (1) using the HP links to update my driver printer and research to find errors in the scanning program. (2) restart my computer and printer. After the first part, I didn't see any listed results. Normally I would have restarted the printer and the computer, but is afraid of losing my sites and the investigation, so I kept looking for the various comments.  I found a reference to this site in one of the post near mine for a #7520 device but cannot return immediately to give the author of the post. I think I sent him a response.

    This site gives lots of tips for different situations and devices. I followed the advice that it applied to my computer and printer who ended with step 2 (I use a USB connection) and the scanner was working again.

    Hello Lscherr,

    Thank you for your message.  To clarify, you are able to print out your design program?  You can try to perform a clean boot and printing of your design program.  A clean boot will start your computer without any 3rd party applications, you can then start your design software and test the printing functionality.  If you are able to print, the problem may be caused by another application of part 3.  Click HERE for instructions to boot.
