Hi I bought a new PC and need to upgrade all these years I was with win XP pro 32 bit, I need to switch to Win 7 pro. 64 bit...
what I have to buy a new copy of license or just pay the amount of the upgrade to the new version of windows? If so how do I do that?

You will need to purchase a new license, unfortunately, you can't buy just the product key, you'll need to buy the package, given that Microsoft is no longer selling just the key.

Full version-

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

Version upgrade-

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional upgrade

The upgrade to Windows XP?

Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

    Hello!
    I made a goof my wireless configuration to try to resolve a bad connection to the local network at home.  This response of Amnah_95 solved problem by following the instructions and a reboot.  Thanks Amnah_95.
    I think you've got the third-party software installed on your laptop to configure the wireless adapter. Third-party software seems to have disabled the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) Microsoft service. You will need to reactivate it.

    Follow the steps below to activate the automatic configuration on your laptop.

    1. Click Start, click Run, type % SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc/s, and then click OK.

    2. double-click on Wireless Zero Configuration.

    3. in the startup type list, click Automatic, and then clickApply.

    4. in the Service status area, click Start, and then click OK.

    Software configuration of certain wireless adapters removes the automatic configuration service. If this is the case, you can try this fix by changing the registry value.

    WARNING: Editing the registry can be dangerous, use it at your own risk.

    1. click on start - run and type reg. And then click OK.

    2. browse this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE es\WZCSVC

    3. next, create a DWORD value and name it 'Start' and set it to 2.

  • Upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit and want to be able to access data files

    I have a question about upgrading to a 64-bit Windows 7 installation.

    I am currently using windows 7 32 bit and want to upgrade to 64 - bit. I use a second hard drive internal for the backup, and I was wondering, if I have my files on the second backup drive and upgrade the primary drive to 64-bit, it will still be able to recognize and read the secondary drive, because how the files were written it on a 32 bit OS?
    I wanted to just make sure before you move forward.

    The installation does not affect that the system drive, but you should backup or disconnect the drive or you accidentally select the wrong drive during installation.

    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.

    [Moved from comments]

    Hi John,.

    Unfortunately, it seems that your neighbors have taken advantage of your kindness.
    As well as the suggestion of Sanwin2 to change the wireless password, you must also change the password to your console to access router (usually accessed via the IP address in the address bar of the browser). Just do it if the Access console password was the same as your Wi - Fi connection, or by default. Please note that this is ONLY if you have a router to access the internet.
    You can contact your router manufacturer and ask how you can prevent access. Usually, you can set your router it allows only the connection from certain IP addresses that you specify. In this way the neighbors won't be able to connect at all. It would be almost impossible unless experts pirate networks.
    You can also contact your nearest branch. As they are piggybacking without your permission, she (I assume) may be classified as theft. Although I'm not 100% sure and the laws may be different in your area, you can call the non-emergency number and report your neighbor.
    Of course, have you tried to go above and asking them to stop using your connection?
