Please upgradeing question Help windows 7 64 bit

My problem is that I have a 32-bit version of windows 7 but I canoe use all the hardwre due to limitations of the operating system.  I'm moving to windows 7 64 bit.  Major problem is that I can't upgrade BOF 32-bit to 64-bit, I get an error that says this version of windows is not compatible with possibly hardware or operating system.  How can I fix?

You must do a custom installation, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

Your applications will need to be reinstalled, you will also need 64-bit drivers.

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.

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.

    Hello

    Check with your system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for custom systems) to see if your computer
    can run Windows 7. If so check to see if it can run 64-bit which has higher minimum
    requirements than 32-bit. Finally check to see if the hardware upgrades that you make will be
    work in this computer. Don't forget if you spend a lot of money on upgrades, you may have
    but could a new computer for the same price. And then you'd have two systems.

    To see if you can run XP, Vista, or Windows 7 64-BIT, you will need to check with the system
    manufacturer if it is 64-bit capable. Are there drivers 64-bit for all devices? To run 64-bit you
    need 64-bit drivers (and the system must be able to run this version of Windows 64-bit).

  • Z61t upgrades to allow windows 7 64 bit?

    I have a z61t - 9441 CTO

    I didn't think far enough (UM, I was at little cost) when I bought, so it was only a Core Duo (T2400) right now. I'd love to upgrade to Windows 7, but it seems that I can only run the 32-bit version with this CPU. Because I like to keep this laptop for a while, I am considering the upgrade, and I have a few questions:

    1. based on this page (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2_Duo_%28Merom%29 ) I think I can adapt Core 2 Duo Merom in the laptop... Anyone know if all Meroms listed as compatible with the z61t are the same socket (Socket M) - or if this model had different motherboards available for different processors? I.e. a C2D Merom will fit?

    2 can. a person I would be able to run Windows 7 64 - bit, if I upgraded the CPU to a Core 2 Duo? Y at - it something else in the laptop that is not compatible with 64 bit Win7?

    You can use the T7xxx or the T5xxx Merom CPUS, only the socket M version will work.

    The T5xxx and T7xxx CPU supports 64-bit and Virualisation VT technology), which allows you to use the XP emulation mode in some versions of Win 7.

    Core Duo supports VT but not 64-bit.

    Hello

    The controller is parallel LSI. I managed to solve the problem with a little to manipulate the operating system. I had to make some registry changes (system32\config\...) and reboot several times, that upgraded with little success. Then I had to upgrade a Windows 2008 to windows 2008! Yet one more time to work things out. I know it sounded strange. At the moment he works and as I mentioned the current controller is parallel LSI. Thanks for your reply.

  • Sims 2 questions on Windows 7 (64 bit) - black screen when starting the game

    Questions of title: Sims 2 original on Windows 7 (64-bit)

    The compatibility for Windows 7 thing, says that the Sims 2 and all the expansions will run in Windows 7.

    When I installed in fact all games Sims 2 on my laptop, however, the game does not start.

    I click on the game, opened upward, and I just get a black screen, causing me to have to restart the entire system.

    I tried to run in compatibility mode, which was a no-go. EA customer support asked me to update my drivers, I did. Because none of this worked, I guess that's another problem in Windows 7, so it would be great if I could get a solution to this problem!

  • m8120n Media Center PC RAM upgrade questions - help please!

    I have an HP m8120n 2 year old PC. It has 3 GB RAM PC5300 inside stock. I want to upgrade the ram, with 6 or 8 GB. Here are the 2 questions I have:

    (1) this motherboard is supposed to handle 8 GB (4x2Go). It will get by the BIOS?

    (2) this motherboard is supposed to be able to handle up to PC64000 (DDR2 800) RAM. I can use it or do I have to stick to the PC5300 accompanying?

    I understand that if I go to 6 GB, I leave 2 GB of RAM stock in it and you need to use the PC5300. I would prefer 8 GB and the PC6400. And Yes, I run Vista 64.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Buddy,

    I think you need to uninstall the ATI Catalyst (display driver) driver because the version is too old and is not compatible with Vista. You can uninstall the display driver in Control Panel > uninstall the software. There you should find a list with all installed programs and drivers.

    New display driver, you can download on the official website of Toshiba:

  • I am unable to get the computer manufacturer to send the disc to reinstall Vista. I tried to do this task almost 3 weeks. I need to reinstall Vista so that I can upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. Please help me. I have the product code.

    I mistakenly installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7, and I try to install the 64-bit version.  Info on other forums says there is no way to do it without a disk... I do not have with the computer.

    To go from 32 bit to 64 bit, you have to do with a FULL 64-bit version, by performing a clean install. so I don't see what the problem on Vista reinstall is.

    Unless you have Vista 64 bit, it will not help you upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    That's why we're always checking the availability of compatible devices
    newest & brightest exploitation
    System. Only Dell (or one that makes the printer for Dell
    before it's new wording) can provide the necessary drivers. This is not a
    Problem of Windows 7.
