  • Portege M750 - change from 32-bit to 64-bit

    I just bought a laptop Portege M750 which is preinstalled with Vista Business 32 bit and separate tablet XP on a recovery disk.

    I await with resinstall with 64-bit Vista business, then install the XP as part of a system to dual-boot to take full advantage of the 4 GB already installed in memory extension and more in the future.

    My question is this: Although the drivers Toshiba download page does not specifically list a Vista 64 bit OS, no matter who made a similar change of OS on a Portégé / or other laptop and had all incompatabilty with applications and 32-bit drivers? If so, what drivers/features have caused problems later.

    The "Toshiba" folder in the notebook computer C:\ directory contains all of the drivers and install files required or these all need to be downloaded from the Web site.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Usually, 32-bit divers are designed and created only for the 32 bit OS and usually they would not run on 64 bit OS. But who knows, maybe some unique drivers would be compatible with 64 bit but it is more than questionable.

    > Does the folder "Toshiba" in the directory C:\ for laptop computer contain all drivers and install files required or these all need to be downloaded from the Web site.
    Generally all Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
    Toshiba on C file can contain only the installed tools and software.

  • change from 32-bit to 64-bit on windows 7

    Initially, I installed my Windows 7 with 32-bit but have since added more than memory and want to change to 64-bit.  How do I go about it?

    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. Releasing it's easy: with Windows | ActiveWin | Laptops | Microsoft MVP

    Can you please tell us what P750 (P750-xxx) do you have exactly? I just want to check tender specifications on the Toshiba support page s.

    I have older P500 and I got it with 64 bit only OS. So I don't know if the most recent model is offered with the OS 32 and 64 bits. For example, I saw on the page s Toshiba P750-100 comes with 64-bit only.

    Can you please check again the version of Win7 is installed (Control Panel > system).
    Somehow I doubt that you have a 32 bit OS.

    Hold down the Windows key, then press Pause. Break. It will tell you
    If you have a 32 bit processor and a 64-bit processor.

    If it is a 64-bit processor, yes it can run 64-bit Windows. If it's a

    Hello

    You can not 'do' your 32-bit to 64-bit

    You have to get a 64 bit Vista operating system disk and do a clean install, which erases the hard drive clean in the process.

    If you have a contact for OEM Vista Operating System (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) preinstalled manufacturer and ask is they provide you with a record of 64-bit and ask them if your computer will even run the 64-bit operating system.

    If you have a Vista of detail except ultimate license, which included records of 32 and 64 bit, you will need to borrow a record of 64-bit as Microsoft is supplying more 64-bit Media for Vista retail licenses.

  • Want to move from 32-bit vista to 64-bit vista but have no disk.

    Original title: Vista 32-bit to 64-bit without disc.

    Hi all

    First post and not very technical minded (although not completely clueless) so go easy.

    In short, I want to upgrade 32-bit vista to 64-bit vista but have no disk.

    Long story, I have a dell latitude e4300 with professional vista installed on it. I bought the laptop from a company who buys wipes of the company and sells them on. When I bought the laptop it is everything I had... the laptop, manuals, disks etc. I want to increase the memory on the laptop 6 GB but have read that I need 64 bit vista to take advantage of this.

    So, how can I do this with only the product code for windows? or is this even possible?

    Thank you very much

    John

    N ° if you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version. »

    However, and my dilemma who found your post, amounts to:

    1. If you head to 64-bit (a number somewhere North of 1.844 E19 one approach the number of electrons in a Coulomb for free!) AND you don't have a product key, why not make the leap to 8.1 Windows 64-bit? and,
    2. It should be first of ALL to ensure that your "32-bit" software will run in a 64 bit environment especially make sure that your printer has a compatible driver update.
