• What can I reinstall/upgrade Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit using the upgrade CD that I bought?

  Please help me with the steps I must follow to upgrade/reinstall my Vista Ultimate OEM 32 bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I bought the upgrade CD, but I keep reading that I can't upgrade, I have to re - install.  How do, or have I just wasted my money?

  Thank you

  The two DVD come in the box of Vista Ultimate.  The same upgrade key works for both.  The procedure is to let the 32-bit version on the hard drive for the verification of license and a custom installation will work.  The hardware hash will be the same and the product key is the same for the activation servers to happen anyway as a repair installation.

• where to find windows vista 32 bit OEM Toshiba Portege laptop

  I need the OEM version of windows Vista 32 bit for Toshiba Portege M750 - 10G.

  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  With a Toshiba, you press 0 (zero) to start to start the ro process of factory of the recovery Partition recovery.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• My OEM for Vista 32 bit product key will work with a 64-bit USB startup disk?

• Can I install Windows vista 64-bit for free if I have the 32-bit version preinstalled (OEM)?

  I have Windows Vista 32 bit pre-installed on my computer and now I'm ready to add more memory to my machine.

  I've already paid for Windows Vista, when I bought my Dell computer a few years (I "réinstallation DVD Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit").

  I guess I can legally get and install the 64 bit version of the same operating system (I mean for free, of course)?   I don't want to pay for Windows 7.

  Whether or not it is an option would be between you and Dell.  Copies of the retail Windows come with two discs, but OEM copies that are sold with computers come with one or the other, the one that you ordered when you ordered the computer.  If Dell doesn't want to or can't provide you with a copy, then no one else is able to.

• Upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit in earlier upgrade Vista 32 bit OEM

  I have searched this forum for an answer to my qusetion below but can't find descriobe my script, I hope someone here can help me understand if my upgrade is viable before you start along backup and the resettlement process.

  I bought my PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit OEM.

  When Windows 7 was launched I purchsaed the upgrade to Home Premium disc which included 32-bit and 64-bit.

  At the time many applications that I used was not compatible 64 bit so I simply upgrded to Windows 7 32 bit, I activated and have used since.

  I am now find my system a bit slow and the most cost-effective upgrade would be to increase my ram from 2 GB to 8 GB, but only if I can also move to 64-bit.

  What I read in other posts, the upgrade disks I have purchsed enabled me to move from 32-bit Vista either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.

  My qusetion is:-

  Having already made the choice to upgrade my Vista 32 bit OEM for Windows 7 32 bit and activated this version, I can now reinstall using the same product keys but this time using the 64-bit installation disk?

  I hope I'm not alone here, and others will be tried this and can therefore confirm the result.

  Kind regards

  You can use the key to existing product that you originally used to install and activate the Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit.

  Installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit will not necessarily make your computer faster however.

  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 DVD 64 bit Windows 7

  For information about how to modify your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, see the following tutorial:

  http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

  

  Once your computer is configured to boot from the DVD, you should see this option.

  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.

• Toshiba Tempro does not work with Vista 64 bit Ultimate

  Why Toshiba Tempro don t works with windows vista 64 bit ultimate mey Satellite A300 - 1 l 4?

  Any idea where I can find a solution?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I m not very well why it doesn't work on Vista Ultimate, but to my knowledge, there are a few Vista Toshiba Utilities and tool that are not fully supported by Ultimate.

  But why you use Tempro? This tool reports only if a new driver has been transferred on the Toshiba driver page.
  OK, it's interesting to know that a new driver is available, but if your laptop runs without problem I wouldn't update or reinstall anything s!

• Problems of 64-bit Vista Home Premium, Ultimate upgrade

  I recently bought a laptop HP Pavilion dv4-1144us with 64-bit Windows Vista Home Premium (with SP1) pre-installed electronics Fry as well as a copy of the upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition (with SP1) because I need to the ability to connect to a domain when using the laptop at work.  After installing Office 2007 Standard and by ensuring that the new Windows Vista laptop basically work, I tried to run the installation from the Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Upgrade disk and found that, after an hour or two of an upgrade treat it to race end in a non-descript "cannot upgrade one or more components.  Error Windows will restart and cancel the upgrade. ", after which he ends by turn to Vista Home Premium.

  After doing a little research online (on TechArena) and I have re-tried the upgrade again after:

  In Control Panel-> programs and features:

  -Deactivation of Microsoft.NET Framework 3.0

  -Disable remote differential Compression

  -Deactivation of the replication DFS Windows Service

  Disable Norton Virus and Internet Security software pre-installed

  Disable the Windows Firewall and defender.

  Uninstalling Quicktime and AIM.

  Disconnect all other devices to a USB mouse.

  However when "Compatibility Check" of the upgrade at the beginning, he warn a problem with a filter 'keyboard '.

  (no further details) which I think can refer to the HP software that implement quick launch the laptop keys.

  So I downloaded and installed the latest version of the HP Quick Launch Button drivers on the HP Support page:

  ' HP Quick Launch buttons Date: 08/2008 Version: 6.40.8.2 H size: 20.97 M

  and I tried again, but still without success.

  Note: I can not run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor, as recommended because it does not work on Vista 64 bit.

  However, there are standard HP and Microsoft Vista + Office + MessengerLive software installed only at this stage.

  Are there additional clues on what to try next?  Has anyone experience this problem?

  -Greg

  You can try to uninstall the filter on the keyboard until the upgrade is complete...  In Device Manager, go to 'View' and select 'show hidden devices and then go down to "Non-Plug and Play drivers" and made a right click on the keyboard/HID filter drivers and uninstall (remove also the softare upon request).
