How to change Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit to 64 bit with no disc?
I've upgraded Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit to 32 bit Ultimate. I want to do a custom 64-bit Setup, but does not. Now that I've upgraded to Ultimate 32 bit how can I change to 64-bit? My upgrade was merely a box with an activation key, no disc not provided. Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium to Vista buying and don't download from MS Store so no original or the other disk. Thanks for any help!
You must have the disk to do a clean custom install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Contact the Microsoft Store for a replacement disk:

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.

How can I clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using a upgrade disc?
Originally, I had a Windows Vista 64 - bit o/s office.
I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit o/s
The first time I ran this 'upgrade', I made the mistake of selecting the option UPGRADE instead of using the CUSTOM option.
For some time since I've done the 'upgrade' I got BSOD problems including caused by video and WebCam drivers.
This is why last week, I took the plunge and decided to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using my UPGRADE disc (the disc is not FULL version)
I selected CUSTOM
I saw, I had two partitions:
Disk 0 Partition 1: Win_RE
Disk 0 Partition 2: CDrive (c :))
I couldn't find an option to delete my partitions and perform a new installation.
I ran this and finished installing fine but did not format my drive and it change named my windows to windows.old. Things seem to be ok on my PC, now that I've done this, and I don't take BSoD right now.
However, I was told that I should be able to achieve a COMPLETE clean install delete partitions to force the OS to reformat and recreate the C: partition.
The menu:
Discount
Load the driver (I have no idea what is this option)
To make changes to partitions, restart Windows from the installation disc
I could not click on an option to delete/reformat my partitions and thus abandoned the process.
I then let the disc (forgive my ignorance) and restarted the PC. I dropped in the BIOS and set to boot from the DVD drive.
This did not do anything to bring up the WINDOWS SETUP option. It would simply start Windows after that, I suspect, he couldn't find the exe file to start.
Thus, while everything seems to work fine, I'm frustrated that I can't run a clean full install like what I'm doing doesn't work.
If someone is able to give me advice on how I can get the installation routine to show this option which would be more useful.
If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.
How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:
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)
Click on drive Options
Select the disc/s click on Delete
Click new
Click on apply
Click OK
Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation
Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.
When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click the link x days before activation.
Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.
Enter the product key
Click next
Select the Activation of the phone
Click Next when you enter your key page
Select your country
Click Next, call the number listed
Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.
Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent
They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it
Click next to complete the activation.
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

Nice day
I recently updated a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. Long story why, but it works better since.
There is one thing that past seems weird. CMD (I think that's it), or this black screen command prompt appears on the screen every now and then. I can't tell what is the boss, or that it triggers. But it is quite often.
What this has to do with being administrator or the administrator account on my own laptop. Nobody else uses it. This is my personal laptop. I log into my admin account when using the laptop and do not use the other account username or guest account. This is info I added here for your info.
The blinking indicates something wrong? Or how I disable that or stop its frequency?
Thank you very much!!
Massachusetts
And how can I stop the task?
I will also say that the screen flashes about 8 times in one hour.
Before you can stop the task, you must identify it. You can do the following:
- Launch the Task Scheduler with the taskschd.msccommand.
- Click the task Scheduler Library.
- Consider different trigger points.

I get an error 0xC004E003 code when I try to activate windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, someone knows how to fix?, have read and tried everything what others had said to others who have the same problem and nothing
You buy a genuine Windows 7 license. The copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, you have installed is an OEM SLP license that should only be preloaded with a new PC. You seem to have installed a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate that uses an activation exploit that bypasses the product activation.
We know that it is because the BIOS date:
20080909000000.000000 + 000
Windows 7 was released in 2009, the date of your BIOS says 2008, which means probably that your system is provided with Windows Vista or Windows XP.
In addition, he is a well known Windows 7 Ultimate license which has been used all over the web:
Windows product key: *-* - YG69F - 9M66D-PMJBMDo a search on the web.
Thus, you must either charge your version of Windows that came on your computer (Vista or XP) or consider purchasing a license of Windows 7 genuine.

HOW to install Fedora 15 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit host
Hello
I've seen several threads on how to install Windows on Fedora, I would install Fedora 15 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit VM Workstation 7
I get this error just after the start of the graphical installer:
An unhandled exception has occurred. This is most likely a bug. Please, save a copy of the detailed exception and file a bug report.
I didn't have access to the network for this virtual computer (and maybe that's the problem) so I was not able to report the bug. I tried to save the file, and it is listed as recorded in:
Fedora 15/anaconda-tb - S24Mwsry3WEg.xml
but I'm unable to locate this file. And since the VM did not put in place I cannot drag-and - drop or copy the file to the host (or so I think).
Read the first lines:Anaconda 15.31 exception report
