  How can I go from 32 to 64-bit VISTA?

  Hello

  It s No 62-bit windows 7.

  Consider that it's a typo

  32-bit to 64-bit is not a upgrade path

  you will need to do a clean install with a license of vista full 64-bit

  and microsoft sells more vista

• 10 Windows from Win 7 upgrade

  I have a desktop Dell 2012 w/Win 7. The upgrade to Win10 free icon, is in the lower right. My machine is large, does everything that I need and is very fast.  I've heard rumors that Win 10 has a lot of spyware. I am also concerned that it may slow down my PC. I use antivirus software given free by my ISP. On the other hand, if I'm not now, I might have to pay later. And win 10 will be much more supported.

  So, I guess I don't really have the choice. What are the disadvantages of the upgrade problems?

  Uninstall the antivirus before the upgrade. Third party anti programs anti-virus prevents the installation of win 10. You have until July 29, 2016 to get the free update - one year from the date of release. The last update win 10 is very good and I recommend it for a recent office like yours and you have 30 days to change your mind and return to windows 7. However, the way back does not always succeed. Check your exact model in Dell Support to see if there win 10 drivers available and is taken in charge for the upgrade before you decide. Find the list here-

  www.dell.com/.../SLN297954; CID = 266889 & lid = 5129275 & c = us & l = en & s = bsd & cs = 04

  If you want to stick with Windows 7 it will get updates of security until 2020. You need to replace the Board at this time here.

• Error in Win-10 upgrade at least 3 times

  error 0xC1900101-0x4000D 'SECOND BOOT' phase during the operation "MIGRATE_DATA.

  "Configuration settings" is the final phase and fault codes look like c1900101 x400xx. The most common failure here is 40017, which means we could not start. Since this is the first time start us Windows 10 with all the drivers in place, once again, drivers are usually the cause of the accident. These issues tend to be less transient than the 30018 s, then a second test is less likely to solve the problem. Yet, it never hurts to try.

  If the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 10 becomes blocked or unresponsive to 99%, wait at least 4 to 7 hours. If the installation program does not progress, close the wizard and restart your computer. Follow the instructions to upgrade manually by using the tool of creation of media or file ISO for Windows 10.

• Legal upgrade (and activate) for Win7 64-bit Windows XP 32-bit WITHOUT overwriting current (replacing) Win XP 32-bit install?

  I use version OEM Windows XP HOME 32 bits on a Gateway desktop computer - with no problems.  However, the hard drive is to reach the end of its planned life expectancy, and approaching the period of support for XP.

  To solve the problem, I installed a new (small capacity) hard drive, with the intention to install Win 7 Pro (64 bit) on the new drive.  I read and reread ALL instructions on different help pages (for installation) (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/)... and avoided all of the common problems.

  Currently I have the old (Win XP) and the new hard drive physically assigned to DH0 DH1 - as a CUSTOM, run Setup. -leaving me with a choice of dual-boot to initialize the top between "Earlier version of Windows" (on DH1) and Windows 7 (on DH0).  They both starts without any problem.

  HOWEVER - during inspection, I see that the folder "OLD Windows" on Windows 7 drive in a VACUUM.  This indicates that installation of Windows 7 does not recognize the existence of my current installation of Windows XP on the other hard drive?  Upon activation, I get the dreaded
  "Windows 7 activation error: 0xC004F061.
  because "a previous version of Windows wasn't on your computer when Windows 7 was installed. To install an upgrade version of Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP must be installed on your computer. "

  The new Windows 7 must be installed on the same drive as the old Windows XP  In order to activate the 'upgrade '?

  I have no problem with the drudgery of migrating my data and install applications from one drive to another with an empty directory "OLD Windows" - as long as both car are mounted.  My only question is to know if the 'new' Win 7 64 - bit OS SHOULD replace the old XP 32-bit operating system in order to Activate the newly installed operating system Win 7 64 bit.

  Is there an 'Official' Microsoft document that answers this question?

  Thank you
