Question about migration from 32 to 64-bit win7pro

I recently bought a refurbished laptop comes preloaded with Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. Also, the laptop came with installation media on dvd for 32 and 64 bit. I want to migrate to 64-bit laptop, but I fear that the system has already been activated.

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
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.

  • Question about software from Toshiba for Satellite C850

    I'm a bit confused with the "software support" that came with my new laptop. It is not clear what programs are for.

    For example, I opened TEMPRO and he said an update of the bios which I duly installed.
    Then I looked at the SERVICE STATION, which also seems to be updated.
    Are there duplicates in all this?

    Can anyone recommend which of these programs must be active?
    Is there a brief explanation of what they are doing and if there is no "overhead" in their performance?

    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

    I imagine that you are a bit confused about this.
    Two of them are nice especially Tempro applications. More info on Tempro Tempro service and you can read about http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/TEMPO_RELEASE_V1

    To be honest, I don't use any of them and both are removed from my system. In general when you get the new notebook you will have perfectly configured OS and everything will work stable for some updates so important steps will not necessary at all. Both applications running in the background and just slow down the system.

    If you have time check the other assignments on these applications. You will find many of them here on this forum.

  • 2 questions about "redevelopment" from Vista to XP

    Someone I was talking about how much better my laptop worked when I "upgraded" from Vista home to XP Pro, and they wanted to do the same to theirs.
    They had licensed XP Home on a thumbnail for a computer with power poor diet (or the motherboard, I'm not sure) that they elected to replace rather than repair it some time ago.

    The person in question is not very computer, they asked me to proceed with the installation. When I reviewed the system, I found that the computer had a partition unused, called 'data '. The person think that the D drive was reserved for the CD, similar to the way that the reader appears sometimes on facilities without disks in older versions of Windows.

    I'm not 100% sure you have the correct drivers for the NETWORK adapter (is it still called CARD of Network Interface when based and integrated?), so I'm going to install it as a dual boot in order to obtain all the necessary drivers. I found the instructions to do this, but as Vista is installed on the first partition, I have trouble if I choose to delete the VIsta partition after that XP, I get up and running because of the MBR and the boot loader? I remember that you can install on one partition other than the one with Windows NT-based, so what would be the correct way to remove the first partition Vista, once I have XP properly put in place?

    Also, I think remember me something about the version of XP OEM (whatever it is) is illegal to install on another computer without count than the one for which it was purchased. Is this true? Have activation and WGA problems if I use this key?

    Do you want to say that for these particular brands, and you mean by 'not turn on' the Windows Activation that disables Windows after 30 days, correct?

    Well Yes. . Because if its a HP / Dell / Toshiba, Acer, the key will be in the restore cd / DVD (when install you it). And he'll know the diff, since the key is based on the model of the brand / and material. And if install you it on another system of your habit of material corresponding to the material to these portable computers or desktop computers

    If you mean the license and the legality about it, so I'll tell him it's not legal, and he needs a copy that is not an OEM version.

    Even if she was not preinstalled (on a laptop / desktop), it applies also to the OEM versions you buy.

    It MUST only be installed on a system. You may be able to install it on other computers, BUT if you can activate it is another matter. If you can't, you will have 30 days to activate

  • Question about the possible television series total bit rate discrepancy

    Hello, I started recently to buy some from Itunes TV shows when I noticed something I was curious about. I noticed that when I look at the "total sampling rate" for none of them via "My TV Shows" in Itunes, they tend to be a little higher than the sampling rate total on the physical files that I have. For example when you look at the an M4V file that is lists the total flow as being '5257' but must I go to my tab TV shows from Itunes and watch the news for that same file, it shows the total flow is "5663." I'm just curious as to why they are apparently different when the size of the two files are apparently identical.

    Also as a note on the side of something else that I've been curious to know is why is the size of physical videos always slightly more small then what is stated on the page of the show? For example, the first episode is 968 MB but the file is only 923, however after that, in the peripheries, it shows (968,071,723 bytes) Does this mean that it is actually the same size, it's just that how M4V are compressed it occupies less space because of its format or something?

    Any help would be appreciated, I'm relatively new to actually buy things via Itunes so I want to just make sure I know all the details, for example I just found out the other day, after downloading an entire show, I had to set it manually to download 1080 p, otherwise you end up with 720 p instead, which means that I had to re - download it all again.

  • Question about changing from Vista to XP on Satellite A200

    Hello

    5 months ago, I bought a laptop Satellite A200 - 1 M 5, but I face some strange and annoying inconsistencies such as blue screen after startup, inconsistencies with several programs or devices, unique discoveries registry keys, problem with microsoft register server, Mp telemetry and other inexplicable things that make you angry. In addition, Vista are so heavy for 'only' 1024 MB of memory.

    For all the foregoing, I thought strongly to change my operating system from Vista to XP clearer and more coherent. However, I have no idea if the machine will cooperate very well with XP. Nothing will work properly? Incompatibility? Someone told me that, perhaps, the case of Toshiba flash cards will not work. But, if so, how can I manipulate for example brightness? Combination of FN will work?

    Thanks in advance for the help

    I think that your machine should work well with Windows XP Home edition. Many people use Windows XP Home edition on the mobile phones of Satellite or Equium A200 new and different. Before you start to do the BIOS update to the version of Windows XP designed home. It must be 5. XX. Check it out!

    For the installation of WXP use CD Windows XP SP2 home edition installations. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

    BTW: before you start checking some threads here about installation of WXP A200 laptop. You can find a lot of useful things.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Question about Satellite L40 and Vista 32 bit

    Hey all, I have the following problem.
    I have Satellite L40 series 2 PC and tried to install vista ultimate 32 bit, and they freeze only on the process of "complete installation."
    I read in some other forums and found it is not only my problem. I tried with 64 bit ultimate, it's all OK. It may be, the main problem is that it is not possible to install VISTA 32 bit.
    I only ultimate now, so my question is if anyone knows or installed to another type of Vista 32 bit on these series?

    Thanks before

    As far as I know that all new models of Toshiba laptops come with Vista 32 bit. Satellite L40 is offered in three different models, and each one also comes with 32-bit operating system. If you have the recovery DVDs with your laptop is Vista 32 - bit OS. I assume it must be the Home Premium version.

    I don't have a model L, but my model works well on Vista Ultimate.

  • Satellite A200-1NB: Question about downgrade from Vista to XP

    I bought a 1NB A200 and I intend to downgrade from Vista to XP.
    I would like to create a CD of tools and utilities, but do I need to do before the low grade or can I do after?

    Also, I have to change the BIOS for XP before you install on the system or install XP first and then modify the BIOS for XP after installation?

    Thanks for your help.

    *@Brown*

    Hello

    If possible, try to update the BIOS first, and then reinstall the operating system.

    I think you also need download all drivers Toshiba XP before installing XP on this OS. Without the LAN or WLan you will not be able to connect to internet ;)

  • Satellite A100-334: Question about upgrading from XP to Vista

    I need help to upgrade my A100-334 to vista!
    I use the disks provided by toshiba. It is said that the new Bios is already installed (vers.5.60).

    After running the second drive it says I need to uninstall Driver driver/BD DVD-RAM and Toshiba configfree.

    Then he said that the following issues will not prevent the upgrade of the execution but that some applications or elements may not work properly. The list is long.

    Here are some examples:
    Diagnostic tool for TOSHIBA, Sun Java Scheduler, TOSHIBA controls, Bluetooth TOSHIBA Power saver settings and so on.

    It is recommended to uninstall all of these objects?
    What can I do?

    I appreciate any help thanks - Detlef

    Hi Detlef

    Well, what to say if I understand your question you didn t make a new, clean install Vista, but you tried to upgrade the full XP to Vista.

    I don't wonder that this doesn't update good conduct and that you get notifications on the tools and driver compatibility issues.

    The fact is that many drivers, tools and utilities that are designed for the operating system XP don t run on the Vista operating system. That is why it s necessary and desirable to remove any programs that are not compatible with Vista!

    In my opinion, you must perform a clean installation of Vista, and then you can download and install all the drivers Toshiba Vista required and utilities.

    Best regards and greetings to Germany ;)

  • Satellite A40: Question about upgrade from the DVD UJ-850

    Hello

    I have a satellite A40, I recently installed a new motherboard to. Everything now works perfectly, and I plan to change the CDRW/DVD drive to a dvd burner.

    The current player is a panasonic-UJDA750. I intend to replace it with a UJ-850 for the dvd burner. Could someone please advise whether it is a good drive to go to any other suggestion and if I need different drivers for the drive to work or is it just a straight swap out.

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    Before you buy a slim drive you must be sure that this drive is compatible with the Satellite A40.
    There is a big difference between external drives for desktop PCs and laptops.
    The master/slave/c-salt settings on slim drives are fixed and cannot be changed.

    If you buy a slim with wrong settings drive, the BIOS does not recognize the drive and you'll get an error IDE #1.

    I recommend that you contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask guys for compatible DVD burner for you A40.

    As a reader of DVD-R/RW compatible, you can use the Toshiba SD-R6112 or drive Pioneer G8CC0001L810 drive.
    I also found some readers of DVD-Multi (CD-R/RW DVD-RAM/R/RW) compatible:
    Panasonic G8CC00019810
    TEAC G8CC00013810

    Sorry for the strange number, but I guess these are the numbers of Toshiba.
    Try google. You may find a full name.
