  If your 32-bit version of Vista is retail, you can order 64-bit to above link for the cost of shipping.

  If it is OEM, you can buy a 64 bit full license.

  32-bit to 64-bit must be a clean install.

• Portege M800 - how to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit?

  Hi - I have 2 drives Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade, but there is no option in the installation process to select 64-bit (I currently have a 32-bit Vista Home premium there)

  I have a Portege M800-11J - who says that it supports 64-bit

  Clues as to how can I change this?

  Hello

  Looks like you didn t includes the upgrade works.

  You can t do a upgrade of each version. For example, you can upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade from a higher edition of Windows to a lower edition.

  Which means that you can only upgrade to 32-bit Windows 7. For Windows 7 64-bit, you must make the new facility.

• Someone knows how to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit to dm3?

  Hi all

  Recently, I bought my computer laptop pavilion dm3-1028tx (sp9300, 4 GB ddr3). Unfortunely only it comes with oem windows 7 Home premium 32-bit instead of windows 7 64-bit.

  Due to the characteristic of 32 bits, its only 3 GB of ram could be used.

  IM plan to upgrade my windows 7 Home premium 32-bit to 64-bit windows 7 home premiun.

  I tried to contact microsoft in my country, they said I should ask to HP, if I could spend my windows because its OEM.

  Someone knows how to upgrade my windows 7 32 bit to windows 7 64 bit without having to buy a new one? Please help me I do not know.

  Thanks a lot guys

  Unfortunately, you will need to buy the 64-bit version, unless you can get HP to you give 64-bit free citing inability to use all of the memory as a customer support/advocacy.   But you should check on HP website to see if your model was first 64-bit drivers.

  He will have to do a new installation as well.  And if HP is not actively support 64-bit for your model, you will lose the HP software (most consider bloatware anyway).  You will also lose built in recovery option.  So, at least, make sure you create your restore disks.

  You may be able to wash to recover the partition, but I don't know how you would be able to use it without recovery software that HP has loaded.

  Hello

  There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit; they are different operating systems.

  It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

  First thing to do is to check with Sony to see if 64-bit drivers are available for your machine:

  Hi, Eduardo:

  You can try it.

  I know it works if you have a retail upgrade key which means that it is good for 32 or 64 bit.

  I don't know an ISO file that you get off the internet is an OEM file.

  If this is the case, it will not work. If this isn't the case, I doubt it will be.

  I have dealt only with the installations of Windows 7 using OEM disks or retail upgrade.

  Basically, the key that you use must be the same as the installation disc.

  OEM disc / ISO good with the key on the bottom of your portable forest 32 or 64 OEM.

  Plenty of retail disc / ISO only good with the full commercial product key, you get the box or the e-mail sent to you - 32 or 64 bit.

  The retail upgrade disc / ISO only good with the retail upgrade key, you get in the box or the e-mail sent to you - 32 or 64-bit.

  Upgrade Express disc / ISO only good with the upgrade retail or upgrade Express key - 32 or 64-bit if you have a disk.

  I used a disk of 64 bit Vista Business anytime upgrade to upgrade Vista Home Premium 64 bit update, and I was able to use the key from Vista Business 32 bit provided with the 32-bit disk (I had a 32-bit Vista Business retail box update but they come only with discs of 32 bits at the time and you had to order a CD of) 64-bit and pay $10. You can't even not the disks in 64-bit vista to MS.

  Hope this helps,

• I have Windows 7 Edition home premium installed 32-bit update. How can I upgrade to 64-bit? Will there be problems of validation so I re-install from scratch?

  I have Windows 7 Edition home premium installed 32-bit update. How can I upgrade to 64-bit? Will there be problems of validation so I re-install from scratch?

  If you have purchased a retail package, it should include the disk for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Otherwise, you can download a backup copy at the following link and use the same product key that allows you to enable the 32-bit version. Its a possibility, you may need to reactivate by phone, see below for instructions:

  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 to migrate my upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 8

  Hello to everyone

  I bought the Windows 8 upgrade online to update my Windows XP installation to 8.

  However, I only had the 32-bit version, which I didn't discover until Windows 8 32-bit was already installed. It's a disappointment because my support 64-bit Windows 8 and for this reason it is accurate that I wanted to move to Windows 8.

  I followed the instructions on the Microsoft support site now who tell me to buy separate installation media. It means that I have an official DVD with Windows 8 upgrade to 64 - bit.

  My question is how should I proceed from here? Can I just install Windows 8 64-bit directly above the windows 8 32 bits already installed on my hard drive and do this by booting from the DVD?

  I tried to do last night, but the only result was that Windows 8 32-bit re-installed itself hard disk and deleted applications and data on the hard drive.

  The only solution I see would be to have to re-install my old Windows XP and start the 64-bit DVD to install it directly on the. And frankly, this seems like an unnecessary pain.

  Any help with going from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 8 using my version of upgrade would be greatly appreciated. Honestly, I do not understand why Microsoft has made this process so difficult.

  Cheers, BillyBob

  Hello Andrew

  Thank you for your quick and comprehensive response. I see from your answer that it is possible to 'upgrade' to Windows 8 64 bits from an installed version of 32-bit simply start from the 64-bit DVD and by taking the necessary precautions to copy data and files in advance.

  Thanks especially for the guide step by step designed to make a "custom installation". It is the exact procedure, I was looking to have confirmed. I couldn't do this job yesterday, but it may have been because, inadvertently, I activated the "system reset" function of the 32-bit Windows 8 on the hard disk when you are looking for the option to open a "custom installation".

  I will try that tonight and get back to you (and any other Googling their way here) a confirmation if it works or not as I found it difficult to find detailed information on this procedure elsewhere.

  Just to be clear 100%: it is possible to use the DVD from an upgrade VUP to do a clean install 64-bit on a 32-bit Windows 8 installed version, right?

  Best regards, BillyBob

  Please note, an upgrade is not possible by either from installing from a Windows version, or by booting from the disc for 32 to 64-bit scenarios.

  Yes, you can use the disk to upgrade to migrate from 32 to 64-bit.

  Hello!

  I need Windows 7 64 bit. I was searching the net on this subject and the only thing I knew, I should have the 64-bit version of Vista. But I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 32 bit and have only Windows Vista RECOVERY DVD and the DVD of Windows 7 upgrade.

  Hello

  To be honest, I don't know how you can do... I do not think, it is possible to obtain from Toshiba. I can't recommend allows you to get Win 7 64-bit to install. For all win7 drivers, take a look:

• Satellite A500 overheating after upgrade to 64-bit windows

  Hey,.

  I just upgraded to 64-bit and my GPU temperature was very high, around 60 degrees Celsius. When I start a game, it goes up to 107. When I had 32-bit running that I never had this problem, I could play a game without the laptop computer overheating. I thought at first it was a problem with the drivers, or that im missing something.
  I've updated the bios, every other driver that I could find for my laptop computer and repeatable reinstalled the drivers for video card without change.
  Now, I tried to find how to change the fan settings, I noticed the fan starts to run fast enough to hear at 55ish degrees and I want to decrease the aswells parameter to increase the speed of the fan.
  I tried Speedfan, and like 5 other programs where none of them worked.
  I'm also afraid if I just reinstall 32 bits that I'm having the same problem, because there might be some kind of driver or utility, that I lost in the format.

  Is there a way I can fix this? Is there a Toshiba utility or something that I might have missed?
  The A500 is not compatible with 64 bit? The settings of the fan can be changed?

  Thanks in advance

  How to upgrade to Windows 7:

  If you have Vista:

  Update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7

  If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

  Windows Vista Home Basic	Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium	Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Business	Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate
  Windows Vista Ultimate Edition	Windows 7 Ultimate

  Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
  Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

  Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
  A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

  • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

  • Install Windows 7

  • Reinstall all your files

  • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

  These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.
