• Can I use a product key UPGRADE from 32-bit Windows 7 to a new clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

  In 2009, I upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7 32 bit. This laptop recently died and is no longer in use.

  I am building a new computer and I want to install it on Windows 7 64 bit (there no initial operating system because it is a made to measure machine).
  Can I install Windows 7 64 bit on the new machine and then use the old product key, that I received in 2009, even though it was a upgrade for the 32-bit product key?

  If its a version upgrade, the answer is no.

  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.

• The upgrade from 32-bit Windows 7 to 64 - bit Windows 8

  Original title: Windows 8 Pro Upgrade installed a 32-bit system

  Yesterday, I downloaded Windows 8 Pro. After installation, I found that he had set up a 32-bit system instead of 64-bit. My system Windows 7 was on 32 bits, but my processor is capable of 64-bit. Research on one of the forums of tecjh many people have had the problem that the downloaded version of Windows 8 is only 32-bit installation, even if the Windows 7 system is 64-bit. Does anyone know how to get Windows 8 to install 64-bit instead of 32?

  Use a pc that has x 64 os installed and re download win8 using the link in your email, now since the base is x 64 u will get a x 64 win8, burn the iso to a dvd and install it on your x 64 system support.

  Have not tried this, but some say it works... Since u already bought, it's worth a try.

• What is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1?

  I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.

  Original title: upgrade

  Hello WilliamPopat,

  If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.

  However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.

  According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it.  However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.

I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit using a clean install from a Windows 7 OEM disc I used on another computer, I built.

  How to: perform a customized Windows installation

  Be careful, this other computer recovery disk may be only for use with the computer, with which he came. In addition, the edition must match the product key you plan to install, if they don't, it won't work.

  If its a version of upgrade / full license or OEM System Builder detail disk then you can use it.

  Keep in mind, the editions must match.

• Upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit windows.

  I brought a laptop running Windows 7 32 bit despite its 64-bit hardware and 4 GB of RAM second-hand.  Because I brought used it does not come with the OS disks, but I do not have the product ID.  Is it possible to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit, and this update would remove all my data?

  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.

  Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
  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.

  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.

  If you don't have a 64 bit Windows 7 media, consider the following:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• Windows 7 Home Premium - 'Upgrade' from 32 bit to 64 bit?

  Two years ago, I used a student contract to purchase an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7. At the time, I chose to download the 32-bit version and used the product key, I got with this version.

  Now, I wish for a clean install and choose the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. My PC seems to be ready, the Compatibility Center Windows says there is no problem with hard-ware. However, because I downloaded from the store, I have only a version of the 32-bit client on the spot.

  I'll be able to run a clean install and use the product key that is currently used with my 32-bit Windows 7 with a downloaded version of the 64-bit client? If so, it is legal to download a generic version of the Windows 7 64-bit client considering I have the product key is legitimate? I can't go back into the store to choose a different download for some reason link any.

  I would like to move to a 64 bit version of Windows 7 without having to repurchase all of the operating system, as it is too expensive for me right now.

  Unable to start installing Windows 7 32 bit, you must boot from the disc.

• Holders for the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit?

  I have a 32-bit version of Windows 7 Professional (Win Vista Bus for Win 7 Pro UPG Media) that I purchased from NewEgg.  I want to upgrade to 64 - bit, but I didn't get 32-bit support.  This would require another purchase for the upgrade of the media?

• Hi again. How can I upgrade my 32 bit Windows 10 in a 64-bit?

  Hello community,

  Can I ask a Question if the amount of the fine to ask my questions.

  The question is... I have a 64-bit processor based and I thought if it would cause problems, because I've been using a 32 bit on my 10 windows OS. And if it doesn't cause problems in my PC well that's good to know. But if it isn't, well is there a way I can change my Windows 10 in 64-bit?

  (I'm Sorry if I had been asking questions about Windows 10.) And I think this is my second time)

  In a 32-bit what?

  It causes problems on my PC and take some F/s (display per second rate)?

  Just a guess, but you ask about running a 32-bit Windows
  64-bit processor?
  If that's what you're asking about, there is no problem to do that.

• What all is involved in the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit?

  I drive a dell dimension 3000 sp sp3 32 bit pent4 2.4 g
  I bought a used pent4 3Eg 64-bit of a factory, thinking that it is n play just plug, but no monitor or keyboard after repowered!
  And now it's history even after you have reinstalled the original pentium4.

  I've been nice with the pins, nothing was forced, catches are a match and he is listed as a upgrade dell... advice? I'll really be annoying my wife so I'm borrowing his laptop all the time ;)

  Ago only 32-bit Windows XP drivers available for this system on Dell drivers and Downloads Page.

  I think going to 64-bit would be more hassle than its worth (including XP). There is no Vista or 7 drivers this is although it can work. Although if your processor is faster than the original, it may be useful to upgrade but stick to 32 bit, XP.

• T410i upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit

  Hej everyone,

  I just got my hands on a new T410i and he loves as much as I liked my T42 before. However, I'm not that happy with the 32-bit windows 7 that came with the machine and would like to throw 64-bit on it. My concern is about the drivers. I have not found a single package containing all the drivers (about 1237 only driver files in the download section). Y at - it a package that contains everything, so I don't have to install everything by myself?

  Thank you for your support.

  Another alternative is to use ThinkVantage System Update to detect drivers and updates that apply to your system and let it suck down and install the ones you choose:
