How to install windows 7 pro, when I mistakenly installed the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit version

I just installed windows 7 pro.  Unfortunately, by mistake I installed the 32-bit program on 64-bit program.  now that I try to install the 64-bit, I get the error message: "this installation disc is not compatible with your version of windows.  upgrade I need the disk to correct installation.  so he said to shut down your computer and reboot the installation disc. »

but when I reboot it just goes directly to the office.  would someone kindly give advice on how I overcame this misadventure?  I know that windows 7 pro on my computer, 32-bit version, but want windows 7 pro 64-bit version.  I still have the discs and software keys... Thank you.
Prior to this installation, I was running 32 bit XP pro

You'll need during cratch because there is no way to upgrade a 32 bit OS to a 64-bit version of Windows.

Check your BIOS to make sure that your DVD drive is set as the first boot device, and then save your settings (if a change was required) and get out.

With the 64-bit DVD in the DVD drive, restart the computer.

Choose the "Custom" option and then delete the existing system and Windows partitions, click next to continue the installation,

Since you enabled the OS using the 32-bit product key most likely you need to activate by phone this time.

  • How to uninstall Windows XP PRO so that I can install Windows Pro 8.1?

    Problem? My Windows XP PRO is not listed in the control panel. (The system came with the new computer).

    I want to uninstall, & replace it with Windows 8.1 pro (disk).

    Is it done in safe mode? Also how a clean uninstallation is completed?

    MS says that an upgrade is not possible (since '23 programs, etc. need attention').

    All advice appreciated. Best regards, Doug

    Original title: how to uninstall Windows XP PRO, which is not listed in the control panel?

    Of course, it is not in the control panel. This isn't how it works. You must reformat and perform a new installation of Windows 8.

    Your computer will not be able to be upgraded. You must consult the computer manufacturer to see if there is even the disks available to this end for Windows 8. Probably not.

    And, even if all the drivers were available, you always have to reinstall ALL your programs and data on the medium of origin or files and backup of the date.

    LAN installation is very easy.
    First of all, you need the correct LAN driver.
    In order to download the LAN driver please visit the Toshiba driver page and choose your model of laptop.

    Once the LAN driver has been downloaded, you will need to decompress.
    Then you will need to access the Device Manager, choose the controller Ethernet (network cards) and must point to the place where the LAN driver was decompressed.

    Then finish the installation procedure.

    You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.

    1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
    you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
    you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
    a copy (or a license) for each computer.

    There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
    effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

    2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
    the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
    computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
    OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
    It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
    computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer).

  • How to reboot Windows 8 Pro mode safe?

    I have a set of Steelseries MERC keyboard, an Asus Crosshair IV Formula motherboard, and I've been advised to perform a full scan with my Kaspersky PURE, Malwarebytes and Superantispyware in Mode without failure.  I don't know how to restart Windows 8 Pro mode without failure.  I tried pressing the F4, F6 and F8 keys.  I guess I can do a cold reboot, but I prefer to do this properly.  Thank you.

    On your login screen, click on the power icon that gives you three options: sleep, stop and restart.
    Hold down the SHIFT key and click on restart.

    When the computer reboots, you get a blue screen with options.

    Click on troubleshooting-> Advanced Options-> settings-> Enable safemode startup

    http://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/Windows-8/7/Windows-8-safe-mode-F8.html

    If you want to enable F8 as previous versions, run the following command as an administrator:

    Anyway, AFAIK your laptop is equipped with an Intel graphics card then I recommend to download the driver form Intel directly because the Web from Toshiba site displays only the Windows XP display drivers.
