Is it possible to install Vista Ultimate 32 bit on a CQ61?

Here is the basic information on my old laptop (it cannot all be 100% correct, but pretty much)

Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
Model: Presario CQ61 Notebook PC
Rating: unknown
Processor: AMD-
Installed memory: 2.00 GB -.
System type: 32-bit operating system
Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.
It was my old details of laptops. It is a pre-installed portable computer that has been infected by a virus, I eventually had to install linux on it.
I have two drives Home Premium & Professional XP legit here, but none of them worked, I have a disk of Ultimate Windows 7 32/64 bit I borrowed from a friend, who no longer works, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit does not work either...
I'm guessing that only Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit works on it... But what about the Vista Ultimate 32-bit? Is this possible? Please tell me, thanks :).
I'll happily downgrade to Vista if possible. I can't get Vista Ultimate 32 bit, but because it's all my friend had spare... It has windows 7, that's why... Haha...

Hello

nothing to do with the size of the hard disk; It is more than enough

    You can try to use Windows Easy Transfer to transfer data and settings to C: on D: drive and install Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on the C: drive. After installing Windows Vista 64 bit on C: drive try to reuse Windows Easy transfer to transfer the data back (from D: to C: drive).

    You can also take an external data backup before you attempt the Installation of Windows Vista.

  • What happens to the extra 12 GB 8 GB memory RAM that I installed Vista Ultimate 32 bit?

    Hello

    Could you please tell about the question in the topic?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    It's a very simple answer

    a 32-bit windows system cannot use RAM 12GBs

    You can install 4GBs of RAM in a 32-bit operating system; and that's the limit

    Read any article of microsoft relative to your question:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929605

    System memory shown in the system information dialog box in Windows Vista is less than expected if the 4 GB of RAM is installed

    Read the explanation of Microsoft here and on the link above.

    "If a computer has 4 gigabytes (GB) of memory (RAM) installed, system memory shown in the dialog system information in Windows Vista less than you would expect.

    For example, the system information dialog box may report 3 120 megabytes (MB) of memory system on a computer that has 4 GB of installed memory (4 096 MB). "

    to use your full 12GBs RAM that you need a 64-bit operating system

  • Reinstallation DVD for Vista Ultimate 64 - bit Edition

    Hi all

    New on the HP community and I must say I am impressed. I just bought an A6660T with Vista Ultimate 64 bit edition desktop computer. I talked to a very competent sales representative. He informed me that after I received the system, I could call Technical Support and the requisition of the re - install Vista Ultimate 64 bit dvd for $30. Has anyone done that? The reason I ask, I want to do my own clean install of the o/s, the recovery disks will not be enough for me. I believe that HP has these records on-site. I appreciate all the comments and look forward to a great experience here on the HP Forum!

    Thanks again

    Welcome to the forums! I can't wait to start your experience here with a negative, but the game you order from HP is the same as the recovery set, you can burn using Recovery Manager on your computer. HP is not the finish plain Vista install DVD for class of consumer machines.

    The sales representative may have thought class machines business, which I guess still has this option as they did on XP machines.

  • Windows vista ultimate 32 bit OEM

    I am wanting to install vista ultimate 32 bit OEM on my pc that I screwed up the download of Windows 7 beta. I come to the world of pc to buy and they told me that I have to take my pc to them for them to install it for a fee. They told me everything you get in the box is a key code and no disc. Could someone tell me if this is correct?

    Concerning

    Seansnr

    Hi Seansnr,

    First of all, if you buy a copy of Windows Vista OEM, make sure that the DVD is the company that allows a computer.  An OEM Dell DVD won't work on a HP or gateway and vice versa.

    Personally, if I had to buy it I insist on a DVD and not from someone who says they can install for a fee, and then provide would not buy any media where you will need to re - install in the future.

    You could also buy a copy of the sale at retail of Windows Vista, or order an OEM DVD from the manufacturer of your computer.  They can also provide one for a low cost, if it wasn't origionally came with the computer.

    If you are interested in a copy retail, they may be ordered and even downloaded directly from Microsoft.

  • Re: Satellite U300: can I install Vista Ultimate?

    Hello.

    A few days back, I bought Satellite U300 series but it came with VISTA Home Premium that I don't want.

    Can I install WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE on my computer, if yes from where I can download the drivers.
    Is there a specific order I have to follow to install the drivers after installing VISTA ULTIMATE.

    Seniors need help here, please...

    Thank you and best regards
    Khurram Shahzad

    Of course, you can install Vista Ultimate on this laptop.
    All Vista drivers can be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.

    Ask for the specific installation order?
    Well, I'd start with the common drivers like Chip Set Utility, display driver, etc.
    In addition, I would recommend checking the option details, because there you might find driver and software details.

    By the way; the Intel Robson (SATA driver) package must be included in Vista because this driver is required for the recognition of the HARD drive.

    Hello!

    It should be possible to install Vista 64-bit on the laptop but I could be that you will get not all drivers.
    For now, doesn t support and 64-bit drivers Toshiba offers but you can search on other sites:

    Here are some examples:
    -Intel chipset: [www.intel.com]

  • Qosmio G50 - 10J - cannot install Vista Ultimate again

    Hello

    I just bought a G50 - 10J with Vista Home Premium (German) installed. I tried to install Vista Ultimate Edition (in English) and formatted the C: drive (where vista was preinstalled); When installing, it freezes at the part "Complete Installation" and after waiting an hour, black screen appears and nothing changes (I tried 3 times and still had the same problem).

    Also unfortunately I don't have the recovery CD.
    Could someone please help me load Vista again?

    New portable Toshiba does not come with recovery DVD media and the recovery image is saved on the HARD drive. This means that the laptop owner must create recovery media only.
    Toshiba has designed a little reminder of recovery Toshiba.

    If you skipped it didn't create recovery DVDs before using the Microsoft DVD facilities you have a problem now. All you can do is to order a new copy. You can do so under the https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Can I do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 32-bit upgrade. Installation file will not work. The error is described below.

    The XPS 730 with Intel Q9450 computer yourself running Windows 7 64 bit? The details of performance show that it is capable of 64-bit. When I try to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit upgrade, the installer will not work. I get an error that reads:
    The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are running.

    I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Everything that I read on Microsoft and elsewhere says that you can go from Vista 32 bit to an operating system Windows 7 64-bit as long as you do the clean install. I'm that far away since I can't even run the installation.
    Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem?

    Hi Hal K,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    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 perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version.

    If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows, and vice versa, you will need to back up your files and then perform a custom of the version of Windows you want to install installation.

  • Error code (0 x 40000015) at the location 0x0000ec96 when installing Vista Ultimate 64

    I've just set up a computer and I am trying to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. As soon as I put in the product key I get setep.exe Application error "the exception unknown software exception (0 x 40000015) occurred in the application at location 0x0000ec96." What can I do?

    Hi MEMason,

    1. what type of installation? Is - this facility upgrade or custom (clean) installation?
    2. do you have an extra adapter connected to the computer?
    3. What is the size of the RAM (Random Access Memory) installed on the computer?
    4. do you have 32-bit processor or 64-bit?

    We recommend that you first perform an installation without a key and check if the problem persists. This means, proceed with the installation without inserting the key during installation.

    If the problem persists, we recommend that you simplify the material, for example, if you have an additional video and RAM card, then disconnect / remove the system and run the install to see if the problem persists.

  • Install Vista Ultimate on a new disc

    Hello world

    I have Vista Ultimate installed on my 320 GB internal hard drive.

    The Vista disc that I have, cannot be installed on a pc.

    Unfortunately, this disc has become unstable and I'm afraid it will fail and I will lose everything on it.

    I am about to buy a 1 TB drive and wish first, partition, then install Vista Ultimate on it, then transfer all of my original him.

    A simple enough thing to do I guess.

    However, I learned by several people that I won't be able to install Vista on drive 1 TB, as Microsoft will see this facility as a "second installation on a second pc" and so I will not be able to validate my drive.

    Can someone tell me if this is correct

    Thank you very much

    It's not correct.

    You have a copy of Windows retail or an OEM version? Or we can
    be installed only on one computer at a time, but a copy has an OEM
    additional restriction: his license it permanently binds to the first
    computer, it is installed on and it can never be moved to another.
    However, even if it is an OEM copy, change the hard drive does not work
    another computer and you can certainly do that and use
    your copy of Windows in this regard.
