It will be possible to choose the 32-bit or 64-bit during the upgrade to Windows 10 no matter what version you currently have? I know there are problems with the upgrade a 32-bit version on 64-bit directly, but it is possible to install 64-bit and have a backup installation files in the Windows.old folder.

If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows 7 and you want to migrate to 64-bit Windows 10, you will need to download the 64-bit Windows 10. ISO and make a custom installation:

How to: perform a customized Windows installation

A custom installation will produce a Windows.old folder, but as that mentioned, it is none functional. The best thing you can do is to create an image of the system in advance if you need to go back to Windows 7:

  • Windows Vista does not start. I can just buy the upgrade to Windows 7 to fix this or do I have to purchase the full version of Windows 7?

    I have vista Home premium, but does not start it tells me to put my disk installation and repair process. can I buy windows7 upgrade or should I buy the full version, I'm not going to do...? I got my pc checked thourghly and everything is running perfect

    Please use the Vista system repair and recovery forum to fix your departure upward.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-system?page=1&tab=all

    Yes, as long as Vista is still installed on the hard drive you can use a copy of Windows 7 upgrade to upgrade your computer but you will need to boot the computer with the Windows 7 dvd and perform a custom installation.  Which will remove all your programs and data so there will be very practical backups.

    The best option is to repair Vista first.

    Before dismiss you the idea of buying a copy of the full license of Windows 7, remember that it would be transferable to a new computer much more easily that an upgrade copy is.

  • Is the complete software reinstallation required after the upgrade to Windows 10

    People,

    I have Win 7 Professional and opted for the upgrade to Windows 10. I have a number of licensed, like MS Office software, complete Suite Adobe and Autodesk software, for which I have no media or installation Setup files.

    My question is after upgrade, I have to reinstall everything on my machine or all these software installations will be kept? Because I lost track of the installation for all these software media, it will be very expensive for me to buy everything new. App 'Get Windows 10' has not reported any of this software.

    This was one of the main reasons I couldn't move to Windows 8, reinstall all of these software are unaffordable for me.

    I'd appreciate any help on this matter.

    Thank you

  • Is it possible to limit the number of windows that can be opened?

    Original title: options in window 7

    I have an autistic son who likes to play on the internet (usually from sesame street, Barney and AFV videos on you tube).  The problem I have is that it will sometimes open many windows which eventually slows down the computer and results in me having to close the windows as well as his frustration.  Is it possible to limit the number of windows that can be opened?

    Hi Brian,.

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community. It seems that you need more information to improve the performance of your computer.

    With the current configuration of Windows, there is no option to limit the number of windows that can be opened. You can search the 3rd application using your favorite search engine, which helps you to limit the number of windows that can be opened.

    Warning: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Pavilion dv6: Intel Centrino Wireless - n 2230 will not activate after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Model A3E82AV number

    I've been avoiding Windows 10 because I knew something like this was going to happen, but I took the pludge.  Anyway, everything seemed to work but my wireless adapter.  After the upgrade, the rocker on the keyboard turns on and outside airplane mode, and I can't switch to map wireless in Windows settings.

    I can get wireless adapter to turn on, go into that in a minute, but if I shutdown or reboot, the problem returns.

    I had success in the driver update, or by manually installing the driver, I even read a tip to make the battery, hold the power button down while the battery is out and run it upwards.  I tried to reset the BIOs to default settings.  When the computer feels like it, the wireless adapter will start working after a reboot.  If I have the toggle switch, the light goes from orange to white, I can then activate wireless and connect to my SSID.  If I stop or restart, my wireless NETWORK card no longer works and we return to the toggle keyboard turning power on and off airplane mode.  Device Manager says it is working normally and the drivers are up to date.

    I read a post from microsoft that says VPN adapters could cause corruption while making the upgrade.  I'm a professional, so I got a handful of cards, but also virtual cards VMWare Workstation installed, so I tried to come back to Win 7, remove the adapters, are re-upgrade.  It does not solve the issue.  While I was back in Windows 7, everything worked most of the time, but there were some problems with the programs, etc. which would not work right.  When I upgraded to Windows 10, some of these problems persist, so I checked my backups to make sure they were up to date and did a new install of windows 10.  I am now running a new image with just firefox, associate of HP and the different drivers Intel, I tried to install, and I still can't get the card wireless to tour consistantly on / off power after a reboot.  I thought for sure the nuclear option could solve the problem now I can't even go back to Windows 7.  I did mention to try some recommended drivers Intel, I found in other posts... I also tried to uninstall the driver, and install in compatibility mode, but that has not worked, either.

    This one had me scratching my head.  I tried literally everything I can find on the internet in an attempt to solve the problem, and nothing will keep the work of consistantly wireless NETWORK card.  Any other ideas out there?

    Looking at the forums, appears not to have a lot of people in all areas of this issue with different brands of computers and network interface cards.  If anyone knows anything else to try, I would really appreciate it.

    FIXED!

    I think so.  I downloaded and installed the bios for Windows 8.  After that, I managed shutdown and booted my laptop 3 times and restarted once.  Every time you start after the installation of the firmware BIOs, the card automatically turned on and connected to my SSID NETWORK.  Since the upgrade to Windows 10 I saw not the laptop automatically start and connect the wireless NETWORK card and he did successfully 4 times now.

    The file that I downloaded from the HP Web site was update the BIOs for Windows 8 version F.2D rev A.  The file name is sp68425.  I will continue to monitor and make sure that it was indeed the fix, but all great so far.

    For people who can run on the same topic, here's a recap of what I did to solve my problem:

    Centrino 2230 installed 15.18.0.1 driver
    Update driver Bluetooth 10.0.10586.0

    Updated the BIOS to the version of Windows 8 F.2D Rev A

    If you decide to play with the BIOs firmware, just be aware that if things go well, you could cause more damage to your system.  I would only try this method if you are uncomfortable for the recovery of a faulty BIOS installation.
