I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit (Home Premium update) and I want to re - install Windows but in 64-bit. Will I still have Ultimate

I have a Toshiba with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit (Home Premium update) and I want to re - install Windows but in 64-bit. Will I still have Ultimate?

I'm going to re - install from 32 to 64-bit via the loader of windows recovery.
This computer has asked ma to install 32 or 64 bit when I first turned on, I chose 32, but now I want to 64.

It depends on. Is the license of Windows 7 Ultimate, a full version license or upgrade, or upgrade Express?

If its an Express upgrade license, you will need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, then make the Express Windows 7 upgrade Ultimate edition using the Express upgrade key, you have.

If you have a Windows 7 Ultimate full retail or upgrade version license, you can simply by using the 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate disc and do a custom Setup on the current installation of 32-bit.

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.

http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

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.

  • can upgrade you vista Home premium to vista professional in order to install windows 7 Professional upgrade?

    Husband bought the windows 7 Professional upgrade.  Of course when it did not work and the message was to do a "clean install", we both had type light headed as we thought it that will take all day and probably does not work smoothly since is the most "literate" computer.  I did some internet research and according to microsoft, windows vista business upgrade to windows 7 Professional is an upgrade and not a clean install.  Is it useful to try and uprade my 64-bit edition windows Home premium windows vista professional in order to upgrade to windows 7 Professional?  I don't think we can get our money back because the packaging is open or I would say just that we trade it for ultimate.  If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.  Also I don't know even where to download vista business or haow only as much as it would cost.  Thanks in advance.

    N ° there is no way to go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional OR Vista business without what you call a 'clean install', so there is no point in spending money to upgrade to Home Premium to business before the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.  Upgrade Vista Home Premium only allowed on-site is ultimate.

    Use Windows Easy Transfer to keep your files and settings.  Then, start the computer with the Windows 7 dvd installation and moving forward.  Do not remove Vista.  Windows 7 upgrade installation should detect a copy installed Windows so that you can use the upgrade product key.  Once you reach the installation type selection screen, you will see the upgrade option is grayed out.  Choose the custom option to continue.

    If you want to do a clean install, you can use the tools on the installation type selection screen (until you click on custom) to reformat, etc., but this is not necessary if you don't mind remove the old Windows folder later.  If you start with a blank hard drive your upgrade license will be a problem then don't attempt is not a clean install of the old way.

    My Windows Vista Home Premium began the automatic update, reached the point of view "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-100% complete.". Do not turn off your computer. »

    Now he's just running for hours with this screen showing...

    I can't say if this update will end finally alone, or if there is a problem and I should just reboot.

    How long should I wait before abandoning me and shut down the computer?

    Thank you.

    Hi JIB1955,

    Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.

    It's been a while, we can think that the update is stuck and will not continue any further.  You can press Ctrl, Alt & Del and open Task Manager.  You should see the update on the Application tab, and you can select it and press end task.
    Click on the start ORB > Control Panel > programs and features, on the left, select view installed updates and see if the update that was being Setup finished installing.  If it does not have and does not appear on the list, you can restart your computer and try to install the update mode without failure.

    To do this, restart your pc and even if your pc is booting press the key F8 on your keyboard to enter the Advanced Boot Options menu.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
    Your computer will boot mode safe by using only the basic drivers and services, hopefully allowing Windows Update to complete the installation of the update, you are having problems with.

    Please let us know if you make any progress this way

  • Don't have a Media Center on my HP Vista Home Premium update.

    I have a HP certified authentic running Vista Home Premium SP2.  It came with Media Center, which I barely used until recently, but now I really enjoy it.

    I've heard of the Netflix tile added last year, but I don't see in my Media Center.  I finally got to see what it looks like at a store (it was on a Win7 machine) and now I can't wait to get this working on my computer.  Miss me him more than the Netflix tile... As well, Miss me Internet TV.  Could I have missed that any update?  I activated Windows Update and install updates regularly.  How can I tell what version of Media Center I am running?  Is anyway to uninstall/reinstall Media Center?

    I have a topic "TV + movies", but under that, it's just "recorded tv", "DVD library" and "set up tv.  I don't have a TV tuner card.

    Thank you.

    Hi amal.

    I'm in the USA.  My version of Media Center is 6.0.6002.18103 (vistasp2_gdr.090831 - 0117).

    I downloaded the Media Center TV pack you mentioned, however, when I tried to install it, the installation program said, "the update does not apply to your system."

    I searched the list of Windows updates installed on my system for the TV pack, but do not see it.  The most recent WMC cumulative update on my system was KB974306.  I uninstalled, rebooted, then tried to reinstall the TV pack, but got the same message "does not apply".

    So I re-installed KB974306 (who alerted the automatic update of Windows Me was available after reboot), and read the next article you sent.  Someone suggested to do a 'Download Now' to in WMC.  I tried and then Netflix tile appeared, as well as sports and Internet TV.  My WMC version remained the same even after a reboot.

    Since I now have the Netflix tile and it works, I really must the WMC version 6.1 +?   If I wait until the next auto WMC updated for Vista, I should be able to do things?

    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Can I use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3 users) to install Windows 7 Edition home premium 64 on a desktop computer running the OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium 32?

    My desktop system is an Acer E700 Intel Quad Core 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 1 Gig video running Vista Home Premium OEM 32 version. I plan to upgrade the hard disk of 1 tetrabyte before upgrading the OS.  If so, how should I do this?  I have to restore the backup to disk to the new disk before update for Window 7 64?

    My second office is already running Vista Home Premium 64 so this upgrade using the family must be right before correct?  Or do I need to backup to the subject programs before moving to Win7 64?

    Thanks in advance.

    You will need to do a reformat to perform installation and you reinstall the applications.  There has never been a way to upgrade from x 86 to x 64.  You will need to do is use your x 64 media to install Windows 7 on new hard drive, use your product key on the certificate of authenticity located on the side of the Acer desktop computer.  You will always be the OEM license terms, as you install the same Windows SKU.  Product keys are interchangeable between x 86 and x 64, but you will probably need to call to activate Windows after installation - usually the Internet activation does not work on current versions of Windows using the seller great modes of action.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium update problems

    Dears Helpers

    About 6 months ago I bought a Samsung series 7 times. It came with windows 7 Home Premium.  When I bought the laptop, the seller told me that Windows has come with the ability to reformat itself in windows 7 again.

    The time has come to do and I checked out, but it turns outt hat it was only Samsungs Sste recovery. He had done an image and revenue to whom. Ok.

    After doing this, I went to the windows update, but it will not work. It just stays at the helm of 'Check updates' and after a long so that it says that it cannot be updated.

    Through the windows, I managed to download the "update Windows diagnosis", and having run it he managed to solve some of the problems that we found. I tried several times since then to update the windows but get the same problem again. Keep hecking for updates, it doesn't do anything.

    Could someone help me please. Normally I would just leave, but I would like to have updated and also because I recently bought a program that requires the .NET Framework Client Profile to run. The program itself provides the instalation but it will not be installed. I downloaded on the windows site, the .NET Framework Client Profile to try and install them separately, but that no longer works.

    Did I miss something or something goes wrong?

    I would be very happy for any help on this matter.
