Ranging from 32-bit to Windows 7 pro 64, how disk partitions will react?

Hello

I have a 250 GB hard drive, 2 partitions on it: C:\ for programs, installation and user of the files, with windows 7 Pro 32-bit installed on it. The other partition D:\ is for files (music, photos, documents, etc.). Those who are not two separate drives: they are partitions.
I was wondering if the second partition can be a problem if I format the C:\ partition and install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on it, don't touch does not partition D:\. (I don't know if the new OS will be able to read/recognize the partition D:\) I have 32-bit and 64-bit legally available through DreamSpark versions and want to make the switch to use only available in 64-bit software.
I know that my processor is 64-bit capable (Dell Inspiron 1700 with Intel T9300) and I have already formatted a computer, so this isn't a problem for me.
Thanks for your help!

Data such as MP3, JPG files are not affected by the type of bit. The format of the disc is exactly the same so that they are accessible from both versions. It's only the programs that differ between 64 and 32-bit and 64-bit Windows runs 32-bit programs

  • The administrator account has disappeared from my computer running Windows XP Pro. How can this happen and how can it be solved?

    I don't see that the clarification would help.

    To retrieve the getting started welcome screen (in fact, many people want to know how to get the system to the way you have it, on the contrary), see--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/noautologon.htm

    Out of curiosity, use the command control userpasswords2 described on the link above and look at the list of users.

    You should have:

    • each account you created
    • an account named Administrator
    • an account named ASPNET; and
    • an account named comments

    You have these accounts?  Specifically, you have an account named Administrator in more the one named Admin?

    All Windows XP installations have a built-in account named Administrator.  This account should normally be reserved for emergency cases and therefore, is hidden in the home in normal mode screen once you have created your own user account (I don't remember if you have created an account with computer administrator privileges user, or if the creation of a user account allows to hide 'Administrator').  Although it is possible to rename the built-in account, doing so is not easy and not a good idea IMO.

    Relax and breathe.

    FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed.  Back to all the way back to IE6.  You want other patches before you get those.  Reboot after doing this.

    You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

    Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

    Install it.

    Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

    Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

    Install it.

    Reset.

    Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

    Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

  • Downgrade from Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of Windows XP pro 32 bit

    Hello

    I have a desktop running windows 7 pro 64-bit, but need to switch to windows XP pro 32-bit as I has an electronic Development Council which is not easily compatible with this version.  I understand from licensing that as I Pro I would be entitled to downgrade, this applies to the downgrading to 32-bit as well.  If it's ok where can I download some ISO Windows XP pro 32 course and it's just a case of putting my windows 7 inside product key?

    Hello

    Until you, ensure that you will have drivers for your hardware + devices on x 86 XP. If this isn't the case, I wouldn't do the downgrade you will have many problems.

    Did you first try to run the program in compatibility?

    Kind regards

  • Can I switch from Vista Ultimate 32 bit for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    I have a Vista Ultimate 32 bit legtitimate, I've never used and I want to upgrade to a legitimate Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  Is it possible to do it and how?

    John

    During the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit, you must do a clean install.  You can transfer most of your settings via the windows Easy Transfer Wizard, but you will need to re - install all the applications.

    It becomes a bit messy

  • The upgrade from XP - Pro 32-bit to Windows 7 Pro questions

    I'm working on a T3400 precision with XP Professional. I believe that when it was purchased in January 2010, it's a PC running Windows 7 Pro and he ordered with an installed XP Professional downgrade. The sticker on the Tower Microsoft says Windows 7 Pro.

    In any case, it is on the "Compatible with Windows 7" list of Dell, but I'm under Windows 7 Upgrade advisor to check that there is no problem. (It worked for at least 3 hours now...) We did no change of material from the purchase - just different programs.

    I read the guide from Microsoft for the upgrade & I understand I have to perform a custom Setup out of the upgrade disc. Which means reinstalling all my programs. Which is a pain but nothing I can't handle most of my programs. Except that I am concerned about programs that was already installed on the PC by Dell. Namely my Adobe Acrobat & Microsoft Office 2007 programs. Did I lose those? Or I'll be able to download & reinstall the wrench off the Microsoft sticker on my tour?

    We have not bought a disc yet. I guess that we need Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc. Anything else I should know?

    In the United States, you can request a Dell installation disk:

    support.Dell.com/.../backupcd_form

    Alternatively, you can also install using retail media, then activate by phone from Microsoft (not Dell) using the product on your COA key:

    www.heidoc.NET/.../14-Windows-7-direct-download-links

    In regards to Adobe and office... you should have received license for those cards.  If you have lost, you can probably recover with Magic Jelly Bean or similar, get support for retail, then activate using the keys.

  • HP Pavilion 15 lowered a score of 8.1 for Windows 64-bit for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit driver problem

    I just downgraded a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook, which was just recently bought with Windows 8.1 64-bit installed.

    The owners could not get with Windows 8, so they bought Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    After changing the option of Secure Boot UEFI BIOS, I installed windows 7 for them, installed the drivers from the site HP Web for this model of laptop, but there are a few drivers who will not not turn on.

    In addition, try to install the software Cyberlink listed on page of drivers for this laptop, Cyberlink Director Photo software, the software Cyberlink PowerDVD and PowerDirector Cyberlink software all refuse to install.

    PowerDVD and PhotoDirector gave "Software can be installed in the machine allowed" error message and PowerDirector gave the error message "is not a valid HP drive, the installer stops now.

    If someone could please help in telling me that drivers are missing, (I enter all the machine ID in the box HP drivers, pilots said it remained for this machine, installed correctly, just these some problems) I would be most gratefull and the owners of laptops would be too!

  • Pavilion 17 f004dx: need to boot from DVD to load Windows 7 Pro

    I'm downgrading my OS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit because I convert this computer to a computer game.

    I placed my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit DVD in the DVD drve.  Previous upgrades of older and other brands of laptops, you just tell the BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM drive.  On the Pavilion 17 f004dx, the only Boot option I see is Boot From EFI leader. Which I suppose is looking for a secondary partition on the hard drive

    I upgraded the RAM and installed an SSD.  NOW I NEED TO LOAD the operating system Windows 7 Pro!  I hope that there is a way to do it!

    PLEASE ADVISE!

    Thank you!

  • Upgrade Windows 7 Pro 32 bit to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I bought Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) a year ago and I got a disk, the disk of 32 bits, with my purchase. So my question is, how do I upgrade to a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Professional?

    I heard that there is a chance that I could have someone (Microsoft) send me a 64-bit version because they key will work for each version, but it sounds too good to be true... is it? Also, if I can't do this, can I have a 'Windows 7 Professional Upgrade' (64-bit) and boot from the DVD drive and improve it like that or you can during the passage of XP or Vista?
    I guess, the best/most simple/best way to upgrade Windows 7 Pro 32 to 64? Thank you!

    Copies of the retail of Windows 7 include 32-bit and 64-bit discs.  If the copy you purchased only had a dvd then you didn't buy a copy retail, but a copy of the OEM System Builder.  OEM copies do not allow the buyer to two versions of the software.  You can buy a copy at retail to upgrade license (or copy of full license of Windows 7 Professional).  Anytime Upgrade does NOT change from 32-bit to 64-bit.  You must use the retail to change between architectures.

    In the Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit 'Upgrade' disc is identical to the version of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit retail, or is there a difference?

    Yes, all the professional retail DVDs are the same.  This is the product key that determines was looking for, it's a full license or upgrade license.  No matter what type of product key, it is, the installed software is exactly the same Windows 7 Professional.

    "I heard that there is a chance that I could have someone (Microsoft) send me a 64-bit version because they key will work for both versions.

    What you have heard only related to Vista.  Editions of Vista retail below Ultimate contained only a 32 bit dvd and buyers had to order a dvd 64 bit Microsoft for a $10 shipping and handling.  Which does not apply to Windows 7.  All editions of the retail of Windows 7 include the two DVD.  Since you did not purchase a commercial version, Microsoft refer to the OEM for support.  Since there was no OEM, you are out of luck.  That's why an end-user should not buy OEM software directly.

    I have just ordered pre Windows 8 pro which is 32/64 bit. I am running Windows 7 home premium 32-bit and want to upgrad to windows 8 pro 64 bit.

    Do I need an another full OEM 64 bit version or upgrad version will do?  Thank you.

    Your documents and it will be in the Windows.old folder, but all programs that you have installed will be gone. Going from 32-bit to 64-bit is a clean install and all programs that you all will need to be reinstalled.

    It would be wise to save all documents, photos, music, and anything else that you do not want to lose before doing the installation.
