• Satellite X 200-219 - move from Vista to Win 7

  Hello

  at the end of the month I intend to remove Vista from my machine (Toshiba X 200-219) and install Windows 7 Pro with my uni offer now for £30.
  In the process, I'm going to save all my data on an external hard drive, then remove everything on portable hard drives 2, and then to change the partitions of the disk (75 GB) c and d ' training (150 GB) and disk (75 GB) f c (150 GB) and d road (150 GB).

  First of all I want just some information about the modification of partitions according to this (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/windows-7-clean-install-part-1_15.htm) installation guide for windows 7 it relatively easy as all I do is delete the specific partition (in this case f) and it adds to the first walk c.
  I just want to know what is correct or not, or what I need to do something different.

  Secondly when I am in the phase of the backup operation, I want to have a backup of the vista recovery partition image.
  Unfortunately I can't find anywhere on the hard drives. I have activated the hidden folders and still can't find, I know came with the laptop recovery CD is just a driver cd and has no operation on this cd.
  Is it possible to request a cd of vista? I have the cd key on the bottom of my laptop to prove I have a genuine copy.

  I just want to help to have a clean install of windows 7 with partitions of decent sizes on this matter and having to hand a back up of vista is that anything should go wrong.

  > I know came with the laptop recovery CD is just a driver cd and has no operation on this cd.
  That s bad!
  The Toshiba Recovery disk contains image files. The image is a package that contains the Windows operating system (Vista), Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities.
  Therefore, backup your personal data only.
  The recovery disk will install the Vista and drivers still on your laptop.

  In addition during the Win 7 installation process, the installer will provide an option to remove or change the size of the partitions
  So the easiest way would be to format the entire HARD drive, then create 2 partitions.

  See you soon

• How can I move from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 hp? Is it better to buy the software disk or download the software?

  My Hp Pavilion Elite M9340F desktop PC was the best computer I've ever owned five computers desktop and portable three. Not only use the personal media drive Bay and two bays of lightscribe disc, I upgraded the video card and the power supply because I run also three external hard drives more (which actually a total of six hard drives run continuously).  I want to spend all or just possibly the main hard drive and Windows 7 Home Premium personal multimedia hard disk.  Is it better to buy the disc or download the software?  In addition, how is it difficult to make the switch?  Even with good backups, I have heard horror stories of losing part or all of the files or have things so scrambled that it is almost impossible to find what you are looking for.  ANY help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Mr. w.

• Can I switch from Vista 32 bit to Win 7 64 bit on hp pavillion d4790y?

  I have 2 gig ram, but really need to accelerate up to 8 GB. I would also like to get win 7 for the office. Before all this, I need to know since my current OS is 32-bit, but 64-bit capable, if I install windows 7 64 bit will it pass from 32 to 64? And then the 8 GB of RAM will actually work if I buy that as well? Will I run into all the problems of the material inside (processor or motherboard (intel core 2 cpu [email protected] ghz))? I do not understand 32-bit to 64-bit conversions... Thank you

  Hi, Ciaroman:

  As I explained to wb2001, there is a difference between an upgrade on the spot and a custom (new installation).

  An upgrade in place means that you keep all of your files, programs and settings when you upgrade to Windows 7.

  While I always recommend backing up your files in case something goes wrong, all you do is pop in the disk on the Windows desktop and it installs Windows 7 and other than that, your PC is just the way it was before you upgrade, except that you now have Windows 7 instead of Windows Vista.

  You may need to install a couple of pilots, but that should be all you need to do.

  When you move from a 32-bit to a 64 bit OS OS, you can do an upgrade on the spot.

  You have to backup all your files and completely reload all programs, files and personal settings once your new 64-bit OS is installed.

  This installation method is called a custom or clean installation.

  Now as for the memory... Basically, Crucial memory is the same as the memory that I posted from NewEgg.

  If you feel 'safer' purchase of Crucial, by all means do so.

  I just give you options for less expensive, but also as a decent memory.

  This choice is yours.

  I can't say, I bought my memory from NewEgg (essential or patriot) for laptops and for a few years now and never had a problem with backward compatibility still.

  Here's an article on the latency CASE that explains better that I could. Basically the more latency, faster memory performs. This is not the same as the speed in MHz, it performs to.

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_latency

  So, as the number 5 of the same 800 Mhz memory chip should give you a slightly better Windows experience index # a chip number 6.

  I'm not an expert of memory. I didn't even know there were fleas in CASE 5 PC2-6400. I thought they were all CASES 6 and that all modules in memory PC2-5300 cases5.

  In any case, I went with Crucial memory because it was cheaper at the time.

  So, to summarize...

  Upgrade on-site is NOT the same as a custom upgrade.

  In place keeps all the files and settings and install just the OS on the existing.

  Custom: All files and programs must be reinstalled after installing the OS.

  CASE 5 memory 'faster' than the memory of 6 CASES.

  Just for fun, when you get your floppy drive to install W7 (I recommend buying retail package so that you get a 32 bit version and 64), put the 64 bit OS installation disc in the DVD drive on the windows desktop and see what happens.

  Then, remove the disc and insert the W7 32-bit installation disk and see what happens.

  You will then have proof positive, there is no way you can do an inplace upgrade to an OS 64-bit to a 32 bit OS.

  Personally, I would do a custom (clean install) of a 32 to an OS 32 bit or 64 64-bit OS anyway. I am suspicious of an upgrade inplace carrying luggage old to the new facility.

  Please report if you have any other questions or need additional assistance.

• How can I upgrade Vista 32 bit to Vista 64 bit on a Sony laptop?

  Hi there; Please tell me how I can upgrade Vista 32 Bit to 64 bit Vista on a Sony laptop?
  Without having to install a new 64-bit version and then I lose my Sony laptop platform,.

  that would prevent me from making the web.

  (I like to keep all my installed Sony devices & drivers more bits & bats).
  The disc tells me that the upgrade function is grayed out and pass through the windows!

  But does that mean?

  Peut-there please help me someone?
  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit; they are different operating systems.

  It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

  First thing to do is to check with Sony to see if 64-bit drivers are available for your machine:

• On Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64 bit stops after that it says the settings and files of collection

  I am tring to install Windows 7 upgrade from vista 64-bit.  I'm to the point where it says collect files and settings, and it stops running, and then in the details it shows 3 files located in the c: users\my name\appdata\local\temp\WER followed by numbers.tmp, then version, appcompat or mdmp. (example: wer5090.tmp.version.txt)  He said that these files are the reason. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  1 disable any security software before attempting to upgrade

  2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)

  3. disconnect all external devices before installing.

  4. check your hard disk for errors:

  Click Start

  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

  Click on "Run as Administrator"

  At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  User account control permission

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

  5. click on OK.

  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/Upgrade-Advisor.aspx

  If the upgrade continues to fail, you might want to consider doing a custom installation:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  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.

• Satellite A350-22Z: DDR2 vs DDR3 + vista 32-bit to 64-bit win7

  I have two questions. The first is when I checked my pc on cpu - z features, I discovered that the mobo has intel pm45 chipset. now when I looked pm45 specs. on intel web site it says that it takes support 667 MHz or 800 MHz DDR2 dual channel until 8Gigs and also 800 MHz or 1066 MHz DDR3 double channel until 8Gigs so that means I can replace my 4Gigs of DDR2 800 MHz RAM (2 + 2 configuration) with DDR3 1066 MHZ RAM 4Gigs(or more but lets stick with 4) (als 2 + 2 config.)? And if it is possible, that means that when I do tahat, the warranty is voided?

  My second question is (in fact, she has two parts) my OS is Vista Home premium 32-bit and I bought win7 upgrade (from toshiba) which said 32/64-bit (also home premium) then can I switch from vista 32 bit win7 64-bit? In fact I wanted 64-bit OS, but my laptop was preinsalled with only 32 bit OS and lacked English option or in Turkish, i.e. choice of 64-bit operating system. So if I use HDD recovery can I turn into 64-bit while I would have no problem switch to win7 64-bit?

  Thanks for your help.

  The chipset can handle this, but there might be a limitation of the BIOS, which means that the BIOS recognise no more RAM. In the worst case your laptop wouldn't boot.
  I m not very well if the BIOS can handle more than 4 GB of RAM, you should test it I m very interesting on the results

  Why do you want a Vista upgrade to Windows 7?
  You can do a fresh install of Windows 7. In my opinion, it's a better option, and this will help to avoid some compatibility issues with Vista preinstalled applications.

  I guess that you have copied the unique demands that have been placed in the C:\Programs Files folder on the SD card. Is this good?

  Well, usually it of not possible to copy these programs again, and then to start
  The point is that this will not work because these programs must be installed first on the HARD drive.

  You can copy only a few files to stand alone as file mp3, movies, photos, data files, but you cannot copy (copy and past) software
