Need help with installing windows 7!

So I decided to use the windows 7, 32-bit installation disk my father found in her room to install windows 7 on my pc. But I installed it and only 3.47 GB to 8 GB can be used. Since I use fairly heavy programs my computer isn't able to manage this [(fl studio, zbrush, divers jeux tels que bf3, bf1, etc..)] I have read and found that it is better to go with 64-bit, but I have no disk for 64-bit and am a little tight on money at the moment. Is there anyway to completely reinstall windows from 32 bit to 64 bit, or pass from 32 to 64 without an installation disk?

Thanks for your help, a lot.

Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed

You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, it takes a complete reinstallation

If you have only the 32-bit disk is probably an OEM package as they were sold as specifically 32 or 64-bit, retail packaging had two discs.

Follow the link Windows 7 here:

https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/help/15088/Windows-create-installation-media

Enter your key when asked and see if you get offered the download 64-bit option.

Keep in mind that, if this is an OEM license, if it was used you may experience activation problems. OEM licenses are valid only for the 1st computer, they are activated, they cannot be transferred to another computer.

    My question is, should I buy a new copy of windows 764 bit home premium.

    No, as long as you have a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, you can use the same product key that was used to activate the copy of 32-bit, you had installed.

    It is also possible to apply my series of Win7 Ultimate upgrade to an another Windows Installer or it will be related to my original OS install and only the 32-bit version?

    If the Express upgrade is planned for the Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate upgrade, this computer must also run Home Premium.

    I do not have 64-bit Windows 7 Home premium, just a 32-bit version OEM

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • Need help with installing Windows

    I recently did a full format my computer and re-installed Windows software.  I can't access the internet then I downloaded the drivers and my flash drive to move them to the computer, that I corrected.  Now internet will not work. It was my first time trying this and I want to just make sure I did everything right.  I do not have the recovery discs and HP does not provide them to my computer as they said that the computer was obsolete.  I'm running an HP Pavilion a310e series.  Help, please.

    If you have problems with the integrated ethernet controller, you must download and install the chipset drivers nForce2 for any operating system you have installed on the PC.

  • Need help with installing Windows XP on Satellite A60

    I have toshiba satellite A60 and I need to know the steps for reformatting the hard drive and installing Windows XP. What do need me and how?

    also... How can I save all the files and email on Microsoft outlook? I'm not well experienced with this.

    Hello

    the XP installation is very simple. Just put the CD in and to start the installation, the installation wizard will guide you through the entire process. A little advice: when it comes to partition the disk, delete the old partition, create a new and format it in ntfs. Don t worry, the installation wizard will guide you very detailed hollow that deal so it's going to go very easily.

    Regarding your backup:

    It's my way of backing up my files:
    I have an external USB-drive HARD drive and I put all my files on it, so I can copy them back after that I have put in a new system. To save your outlook, you can visit this site:

  • Need help with installing Windows XP on Satellite A200 PSAE6

    Help!

    Well, the BSOD is a serious problem, but I think that it could be solved easily.

    You must update the BIOS to version XP!
    At the moment European Toshiba page pilot provides a v.5.30 - WIN XP BIOS.

    Then, you must include the storage for the XP installation manager because this SATA driver is required to recognize the HARD drive. Without the SATA driver (Intel Storage Manager) the XP will not see the HARD drive!

    I would try a Setup offline first before try something else.

    Somewhere during the download of WLE part, I have a suspicion

    as the files are to be damaged because of the speed, or lack of

    your internet connection.

    You can download and save setup proper, offline

    the link below and follow the instructions to see if it solves the problem.

  • I bought a HP with Windows 10 Tower preloaded. Is there place where I can get help with installing Windows 7?

    * Original title: Windows 10 disappointment

    Recently, I bought a HP with Windows 10 Tower preloaded.  I gave up 10.  I would like to return to the Windows 7 desktop.  If I buy or buy this software, I guess I have to 'wipe' 10 of my machine?  Or I would just download 7 top?   What I have found online are instructions for people who have updated to 10 and want to revert to an earlier version of windows.  In my case, I never had an earlier version on the machine I have now.  Is there place where I can get help with installing Windows 7?  Online, local dealer?  Thank you.

    If I were you, I call HP and tell them that you do not want this computer with Win10.  They are very likely still sells machines with Win7 for businesses, because most companies do not affect the Win10 with a 10 foot barge pole.

    Dell is selling them for sure.  I've been helping my clients by computers Dell Win7 for a very long time now and just had one on my desk a week ago.  Look at the range of Dell Vostro of computers.

    The trick is to approach Dell as a businessman, and not as a normal consumer.

IM really not too tech saavy... any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you

    So what you want to do is put windows 7 to replace windows vista on your new hard drive?

    Step 1: Download the ISO file.
    You will need a cache of DVD or a USB flash drive (3 GB or better), if you insert a DVD, then it will ask you if you want to use it with a DVD player or a usb flash drive. Check the box to a DVD player or something similar to this. With a flash drive, you don't have to worry about setting up or anything.
    Download the ISO of windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.
    Be patient as it can take an hour to download on a medium speed wifi connection.
    Step 2: Burn the disk image to a DVD
    Now that you will burn the ISO on DVD once it's done. To do than go to where ever you downloaded the ISO on your computer and right-click on the ISO file. Now click on burn the disk image.
    Make sure your DVD is inserted. When asked what disc burner, select the drive that you inserted the DVD in. If you have only 1 DVD player you should have only 1 option. Now hit burn and go get coffee or something while you wait.
    Burn the image on a USB flash drive
    But if you don't have a DVD, you can always use a USB flash drive.
    You need to download Universal USB install 
    Now open universal USB install and it will ask you to choose a Linux distro. Keep scrolling down until you find "software based on other or non-linux".
    Select windows 7 Setup from there. Now step 2 hit browse and find where you downloaded the ISO image. Now, select your USB flash drive letter. It takes only 1 option. And click on create. And when it asks you if you want to format? Click Yes.
    DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR FLASH DRIVE PROBABLY ALL THAT FILES WILL BE DELETED IN THIS PROCESS
    Step 3: Boot from your DVD or USB
    Restart your computer, and while it loads the bios, it must be said somewhere boot options. And there will be a F1, F2, F3, or some F key to enter the boot options.
    After that, select the USB flash drive or a DVD drive to start. You will get to the windows installation and you can install windows 7.
    It will ask you your product key. It is in any way illegal.
