I installed windows 7 32 bit on my computer. But I want only to 64-bit

I installed windows 7 32 bit on my computer. But I want only to 64-bit. But unfortunately I lost the installation disc. How can I upgrade?

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:

How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

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 Windows 7 DVD
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.

  • Satellite P300 - how to install Windows 7 64 bit?

    Hello

    I had a Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade for my P300 which was under Vista 32 bit. During installation, asked me if I wanted to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 and I chose 32-bit. Installation worked fine.

    Now (moths later) I decided that I would like to install the 64-bit version instead. I have an own (custom) settled by booting from the DVD, but it don't did me not option for the moment and all re-installed Windows 7 32 bit. I know that the 64-bit version is on the DVD (there is a folder for it) - how to start from the DVD and have it install the 64 bit version?
    I didn't format the drive when you perform the clean installation - if I do that it will give me the option?

    Thank you
    Ben.

    Great news, mate! :)

    Thank you for this feedback. I'll test it on my Satellite P300 I want to upgrade to Windows 7 too.

    In addition, an upgrade is possible to the same version: This means that Vista 32 bit can only be upgraded to 32-bit Windows 7. On 64 bit it s the same ;)

  • Can satellite A100-011 - I install Windows 7 64 bit?

    Can you please tell me if I install Windows 7 64 bit where can I find the drivers, because they are not listed on the Toshiba site.

    Thanx.

    Akis

    Hi Akis,

    > where I can find the drivers, because they are not listed on the Toshiba site.
    That of the point because the drivers provided for this model, you can find on the official website of Toshiba. There's no other place where you can download the pre-tested and official drivers for Toshiba laptops.

    Theoretically, there s no problem to install Windows 7, but you don't have to search the drivers yourself on other sites like:
    [www.intel.com]
    [www.realtek.com]
    [www.atheros.com]
    Etc.

    An alternative you can try 64 bit Vista drivers. Usually they should work on Windows 7 too.

  • Can satellite A100-003 - I install Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Hello everyone,

    I have the Satellite A100-003 and I've been running it with Windows XP since I it (triple). Now I want to install Windows 7 on it, however, I'm confused about what can I install on it.

    I have a few places on the Toshiba site, I found that I can install Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit), but I can met some problems with the BIOS, in other places, I tried but could not find the drivers for Windows 7 64 bit.

    So what is the case? My first goal is to install windows 7 64 bit, because I have 4 GB of RAM on my laptop, but even the 32 bit would be a better choice than XP right now.
    So I can install Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop?

    Thanks in advance for any answer!

    Hello

    Important before installing another OS, you check the Toshiba driver download page. Satellite A100-003 belongs to the PSAARE series and is therefore not available for Windows 7 drivers. You can only get the drivers for Windows XP and Vista 32 bit.

    This means that you can try to install Windows 7 because Vista drivers most also work on Windows 7.
    If this isn't the case you find newer drivers yourself, maybe you can find something.

  • Installed windows 10 64 bit on MBP early 2011, installing the driver software stuck bootcamp

    Installed windows 10 32 bit on MBP early 2011. Bootcamp software support 4.0 installs fine.

  • Satellite P200 - 17 c - I want to install Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I use Toshiba P200 - 17 c (PSPB6E) and were broadcast on the public beta of Windows 7 32 bit because it had been released a few months earlier, but I am surely informed Windows 7 64 bit is the way to go, so I would like to give it a try when the RC was released on 5 May. I have some questions I want to answer it please:

    1. the "spec" for my laptop indicates that it supports the Intel 64-bit architecture, but that the BIOS must also support 64-bit. Can someone tell me if my P200 will support and run Windows 7 RC 64 bit?

    2. my current BIOS version is v2.50 for 32-bit and the download page was also a v2.50 for 64 bit, does that mean if I want to use Windows 7 RC 64 bit, I need to Flash my BIOS using thev2.50 BIOS 64-bit?

    3. If the answer to Q2 is Yes and I flashed my BIOS using the d/l 64-bit, do I need to re - flash BIOS 32 bit if I want to go back to using any 32 bit OS?

    4. If the answer to Q3 is Yes, then I would have thought that Toshiba would have created a BIOS that would support 32-bit and 64-bit at the same time.

    Regrads

    Dave

    > As mentioned above, I am using Windows 7 32 bit and if I had to install Windows 7 RC 64 bit, would I need to update my BIOS with BIOS of 64-bit while I use a 32 bit OS and then install the 64 bit OS, or I install the OS 64-bit with my current 32-bit BIOS and then update once the 64 bit OS is installed?
    > (My personal feelings are that I had to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit BIOS while I use Windows 7 32 bits and then immediately to install Windows 7 64 bit)?

    If you want to update the BIOS, then you must first switch to the OS preinstalled Toshiba!
    I doubt that the BIOS update has been tested with Windows 7 at the moment and in my opinion, there is a high risk that something went wrong during the BIOS update process!

  • Should Qosmio G30-204 - I install Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Hi people,

    I have a Qosmio G30-204. I've updated the RAM to 4 GB. She has Windows Vista 32 bit installed currently.

    I plan on installing windows 7.
    If I install Windows 7 64 bit, or it must be 32 bits?

    What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit anyway?

    Hello

    If you have upgraded laptop with 4 GB of RAM, you must install Windows 7 64 bit. On all the 32 bit OS, you can only use ~3.2GB reason for the limitation of the 32 bits.

    That's also the difference between 32 and 64 bits, the size of RAM supported. ;)

    Thanks for no help guyz!

    but I found a way... so for anyone else out there... Here is the solution...

    1. When installing to the partition screen, press SHIFT + F10.
    2. At the prompt, type diskpart and press ENTER.
    3. Type list disk (not the number of the disk to be used)
    4. Type select disk X, where X is the number of the disk to use.
    5. Clean type. This erases all data on your system.
    6. Type convert gpt
    7. Now reboot the system with the DVD/USB, and you will see only the unallocated space. Use to install the new windows.

    Be warned however, this clears the partition table on the disk; Make sure that you have a backup before attempting this, if you have important data

    Hi, Henrik:

    Specifications of your PC seem to meet all of the hardware requirements to be able to fully run W7.

    P D 915 processor is capable of 64-bit.

    ( (4M-Cache-2_80-GHz-800-MHz-FSB http://ark.intel.com/products/27515/Intel-Pentium-D-Processor-915-)

    I recommend you max on your memory to 4 GB as a 64-bit operating system requires more memory to run a 32 bit OS.

    A 32 bit OS will perform better on a PC that is running less than 4 GB of memory, unless you need a 64-bit system to run 64-bit programs.

    I would also start the W7 Upgrade Advisor to confirm what I posted.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    Best regards

    I have a drive to upgrade Windows 7 from my laptop manufacturer that allows me to each upgrade or to start from scratch.

    I want to install Windows 7 64 bit on a separate partition for the installation of my 32-bit Vista, but when I boot on the DVD there is no option to select the 32 or 64 bit, it only allows me to install the 32-bit version. I have partitions installed correctly then they arnt the problem. If I try to boot from the recovery partition to install Vista 64 bit on a separate partition, to upgreade can leave, he simply don't say so, it doesn't allow the recovery or replacement of my existing Vista installation. Also, often when I boot to recovery mode, by organizing 0 start up, he simply waits some time and the Vista of boots in any case.

    How should I do to dual boot Windows 7 64 bit and Vista 32-bit, as all possible ways I have tried do not work, and I can't afford to buy the madmen of... Toshiba recovery media ?

    The 'disc Windows 7 from the manufacturer of your laptop upgrade' can be used to improve the qualification system of operating from 32-bit of Windows Vista that was originally installed on the laptop.  It cannot be used for any other configuration or purpose. Carey Frisch

    Actually, this isn't just a "upgrade drive" it's a full disc of Windows 7, I know that I can install full Windows 7 32 bit in a separate partition for Vista.

    The problem is solved in any case, I managed to hide my Vista (C) install with Acronis and boot to the WIndows 7 DVD. It then allowed me to install Windows 7 64 bit on the other Partition, because he did not think that 32-bit Windows Vista has been installed on the HARD drive. I managed to deceive it by showing the menu options of 32 bits or 64 bits in this way... I assumed it was a protection system put in place by Microsoft to stop upgrade problems if soemone tried upgrade Vista 32, Windows 7 64

    Now under Vista 32 and Widnws 7 64 on the same computer.
