• Downgrade from Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of Windows XP pro 32 bit

  Hello

  I have a desktop running windows 7 pro 64-bit, but need to switch to windows XP pro 32-bit as I has an electronic Development Council which is not easily compatible with this version.  I understand from licensing that as I Pro I would be entitled to downgrade, this applies to the downgrading to 32-bit as well.  If it's ok where can I download some ISO Windows XP pro 32 course and it's just a case of putting my windows 7 inside product key?

  Hello

  Until you, ensure that you will have drivers for your hardware + devices on x 86 XP. If this isn't the case, I wouldn't do the downgrade you will have many problems.

  Did you first try to run the program in compatibility?

  Kind regards

• I did a restore of windows xp home 64 bit but did not reteive mny registry key. How can I get the key?

  I did a restore of windows xp home 64-bit but not recover my registry key.  How can I get the key?

  There is no such thing as Windows XP 64-bit Edition.  OEM machines are supposed to have a sticker with the product key on the computer somewhere.  You never did a full backup or an image of the disc on another drive?  If so, the key can be retrieved from the backup or image.

• Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1 repair downgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit without uninstalling SP1

  Hello

  I have a huge problem with the update of Windows-7. Installing and uninstalling any update of Windows-7-related (including SP1) fails. She always ends up in a loop configuration and restart + roll back. The error code in the Windows journal file is 0x80070BC9 for all updates. In addition, even when not install or uninstall anything, the system will enter into this every second reboot loop however and trying to set up the most recent update (failure).

  I tried different ways to solve these problems, but all do not work, including the Fix It, KB947821 tools, and the procedure described here:

  https://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/Windows/en-us/b2727a81-BADC-4AD3-a9e2-336dc1bcaab1/Windows-Update-error-0x80070bc9-with-Windows-7

  The solution described in the above link does not work because I can't delete the files in the System32\confix\TxR folder that I am supposed to do, even using unlocking of third-party tools (Unlocker 1.9.1), which is actually very weired.

  So my last hope is to do a repair of upgrade (see the title). Unfortunately, Microsoft only allows me to do until SP1 is installed. Given that the uninstallation of SP1 will not work, I wonder if there is a way by fooling Windows suggests that SP1 is not installed by editing the registry. Can someone tell me if and how this is possible? I tried to change the registry in the files Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion and Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion and Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion and Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion to Windows 7 family Basique/Premium SP1 (which probably should allow to upgrade me to Windows 7 Professional), but still the Windows recognize that my system is Windows 7 Professional.

  Well, I really hope you can help me.

  Best regards

  Your best bet is to clean just install and start over.

  Hello

  If the Synaptics driver is still installed (and continually reinstalls when removed), it may be easier to just disable the device, but let the driver installed - you can do the following.

  Hold down the Windows key and press R.

  In the run box, type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER.

  Expand "Mice and other pointing devices" and then right-click on the entry of Synaptics, select Properties, click the driver tab and then click Disable.

• Downgrade from Windows 7 to vista?

  I've heard say that if you buy Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit you can it downgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, up to what you want to switch back and use Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. It would be useful for me because I run Avid Media Composer, and it is licensed to run on Vista Ultimate 64 bit at the moment. So if this was true then it save me buy vista and I could just buy Windows 7 up to greedy approved windows 7 for Avid Media Composer running. I really need an official answer to this question.

  Thank you

  You heard wrong (unless the manufacturer of the computer tells you otherwise).

  Windows Update has nothing to with the upgrade of Windows. Please post questions in this forum instead: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

• Cannot install Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

  I have a HP dc 7800 Office that took Vista.  The hard drive has been wiped clean of my IT Dept and sold to me.

  I have a disc for Windows 7 Ulitmate, 32-bit, but the machine will not recognize it or begin the installation.

  I put the BIOS on a CD as 1.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
