Satellite L550 PSLW8A can only get OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to 64-bit?

Hi all

I am writing from Australia.

Two weeks ago, I bought a new laptop Toshiba ([http://tinyurl.com/ye6jkuq]) with the following characteristics:

Model: Satellite L550
Reference number: PSLW8A-01101F
BIOS: V1.60
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 2.13 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
HARD DRIVE: 500 GB
OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (OEM preinstalled)

My question:
How can I switch to Win7 Pro * 32 - bit * for Win7 Pro * 64 - bit *?

If I use the recovery disk (the hidden recovery partition) utility to do a clean reinstallation of Win7 Pro, I will give the choice during the process of resettlement of the installation either the 32-bit version or 64-bit?

Or I have + not + get the choice at all and simply be limited to the OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit that came pre-installed version?

All advice or information about how to pass OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to Win7 Pro 64-bit would be appreciated.

Nick

Hello

AFAIK almost all new laptops are available with 32 and 64-bit OS and two recovery images are saved on the HARD drive.
When you start installation HARD drive you should see the option to choose which version must be installed.

Simply start the installation of HARD drive and you will see what menu you will see at the beginning. Not be afraid to do so. Nothing will happen.
Real OS installation starts two steps later. If you can not damage preinstalled OS.

    How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    Hello

    It should connect as much as the other computers with their car are on the account users are properly configured, security passwords are defined and firewall do not block.

    If the system is only yours and there is no need of local network security, enable the guest account on all computers, give them all the permissions and there will be less to worry about connection mapped, but local drive without security.

    PS Ce preceding is based on cable connections. If the connections are wireless, it's another story.

    Due to the maturity of the wireless adapter and their support through the OS, automatic connection could not occur.

    Wireless is great, but most of us try to sneak out of it the uses it was not designed for.

  • Satellite C850 - where can I get and Win7 installation .iso of?

    Hi guys,.

    I searched and found a lot of threads, but have not really found a solution.

    I bought C850 with Win7-64-home-premium preinstalled for my wife.
    First I wanted to decline Microsoft EULA and claim the money for Win7 license, but I thought that his quid of only 50 or 60, and I could the want once a year so I left as what.

    First impression - its Terrible slowness!

    I have an old NB100, Witch of Linux running of Atom and 2 GB of RAM, I use from time to time when I work on the road and this old tiny netbook is faster then my new C850 with i3 and 8 GB of RAM. I mean A LOOOOOT faster.

    Then I run Mint Livecd, and then I saw how fast C850 can be if it is given real operating system instead of Microsofts crapware.

    Then I installed WIn7-64-professional and there was a BIG difference. This is nowhere near as fast as on Linux Mint, but it's much better then original install.

    It was only to check how it happens on a clean install. I don't have a license for Win7-pro for C850 and I don't even have any intention of paying for something as useless as Win7. People should be paid for all the suffering caused by Win7.

    On the other hand, I would pay gladly for Linux Mint and in fact I've done a beautiful gift to the project not long :)

    Conclusion - the slowdown was casued by Toshiba bloatware (which is not at all necessary for the functioning of the laptop!) and all the other stuff like McAfee or Nero.

    I tried to reinstall but him reinstalled Win7 comes with all the bloatware and I need clean install Win7.

    To cut short answers like "install and remove unnecessary waths" - which does not solve the problem for two reasons:
    (1) to install and remove, many things remain on the system, registry entries, lots of files, etc
    (2) I need and .iso of Win7, so I can integrate by little things and get rid of ALL LOT of useless things

    Where can I purchase and installation .iso of?
    I mean clean Win7 without all this bloatware Toshiba, McAfee, Nero and other detritus.
    Mind you, I bought a laptop with Win7 license so I have the LEGAL RIGHT to use Win7 on its own.

    Popular suspicion.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    > Where can I get and .iso installation of?

    As much as I know Toshiba does not any clean Windows 7 disk.
    You can create a recovery disk using the media recovery disk creator.
    You will get the image of Toshiba with Windows 7, drivers, tools and utilities.

    If you want to install clean Win 7, or you have to buy it from Microsoft or try to download the iso from MS page but I have no idea if the serial at the bottom of the device key would work because this key belongs to the OEM version installed on your laptop.

    I just got a new Macbook Pro when I reinstall my CS4 Master Collection everything works fine, but I can't get Acrobat 9 pro to get the serial key

    OK, it worked. Someone suggested dismantling drives all connected. In fact, no luck. But while all the disks were taken out and closed all applications I uninstalled Acrobat Pro using the application in the folder Acrobat Pro. Then I went back to the installer and have already told him only to install Acrobat Pro. Once done everything first, I opened Acrobat Pro. He asked to install some extras and I said no a few times. It opened and worked on a test pdf. With her still open I tried to open Acrobat Distiller. He did not ask a serial number, but I wanted to just install an extra. I said no again and it finished opening. Wanted to be my default PDF application but an extract which is better so I said, person not the last time. He has worked to create a perfect pdf of an Illustrator EPS. Hope this works for you also.

  • You are using windows 7, how can I get my Officejet Pro K8600 print on paper 13 x 19?

    I bought a laptop with Windows 7. Now I can't get my Officejet Pro K8600 to print correctly on paper 13 x 19. It prints on paper 13 x 19, but everything is 8.5 x 11 in size. I click on print, click Properties, change the Super B 13 x 19 paper, press ok, watch box paper 13 x 19 with images by filling out the document, I click ok to print and it prints the image 8.5 x 11 in size on paper 13 x 19 rather than fill the paper 13 x 19. I did not have this problem (and still haven't) with my old laptop with XP. It is the operating system or is it a bad setting in the properties? I tried to compare the property settings in both computers, but I can't find any differences. I don't think it's the driver... Please help!

    Hello HW,.

    Try this: go to devices and printers and right click on the of K8600 Officejet Pro and click on printer properties. Go to the Advanced tab and click on the button called Print Processor. Select Winprint. Try another print and see if it works now. If you still see the same question to see if there is an option of scaling in the print dialog in the application you are printing from.

    Hi Linda@12oaks,

    If you have purchased Acrobat, you would activate the software using the key series (if license) or Adobe ID (if subscription).

  • Win7 Pro 64-bit stuck at 65% extraction of Windows files (Apple MacBook Pro retina)

    Having difficulties to install Win7 Pro 64 bit on a MacBook Pro Apple retina; whenever he gets stuck to the extraction of files Windows (65%).

    To install Windows, I followed the official instructions from Apple (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468), and in short, I used BootCamp to create installation files USB from an ISO (which worked on before Windows PC).

    The MBP has restarted and Windows Setup has started, asking to specify language settings and usual keyboard. I then formatted the partition of the hard drive and began the installation process.

    Copying Windows files works very well but as I say it is stuck in the extraction of files Windows (65%).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    For Info:

    The MBP's only got USB3.0 ports.

    I used a USB 2.0, USB 2.0 hard drive and a USB3.0 stick. All had exactly the same result.

    I tried different partitions of sizes from 20 GB to 70 GB. All had exactly the same result.

    I tried following some online articles to change regarding the "boot.wim" to include pilots USB3.0 to overcome this problem, but this does not seem to have made a difference.

    Apple tell me that, like the partition was created and the Windows installation has started, it must be a Windows problem not Apple.

    Any help is welcome.

    Thank you!

    I gave to install another go this morning.

    Started from scratch and went back through the entire process of bootcamp, but also actually one patch driver USB3.0 (modify the boot.wim file)

    This time, it worked. I can't say it was definitely the fix (happened to use a USB3.0 drive to a USB3.0 port) but it got blocked only at 65% for 10-15 minutes, then stuck at 96% for 5-10 minutes.

    The rest of the installation went well after that.

    I ordered, from hp store-still in production, a HP Pavilion - 27qe touchscreen all-in-one.  There are 10 Windows.  I would come down to Win7 Pro 64-bit (I can buy a legal copy of win7 and do a clean install).  I understand that I would lose some features like the touch screen, but I really prefer Win7.  I'm looking for info on how to do this?  For example, where to find the proper drivers (determine which and where to download to), BIOS etc.  Drivers listed on hp for this computer are for Win10 only, there is no Win7 drivers listed.  Of course I'd first recovery disks Win10, where I always want to go to the Win10 or if Win7 is not working properly.

    Any info/help appreciated.  My wife and I share one our computer at home with Win7 on it.  Me, my wife and probably would be better to use Win7 we are used and as.

  • Failure of KB974431 update with 8007000D on a clean install of Win7 Pro 64-bit

    Hi all

    I just finished a clean install of Win7 pro 64 bit and everything looks on with the activated product key.  I'm applying 50 some important updated via update, but I have one that fails each time, KB974431.

    According to this thread: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/27737d55-9c10-44b5-b701-6ba147c78364, another person having this problem had luck manually download and install the update.  But it did not work for me (I created a new thread because his son was in the installation forum).

    KB94431 was also causing problems for people who concoct a C004F050 error as in this thread:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/ff57f326-0f1d-412c-a4d0-14de1eaf0836/ although I didn't have this error, I tried running sfc/SCANNOW and he did report that he "finds corrupted files but could not solve some of them."  I don't really know what I should look for in the CBS.  By suggestion of the thread, I installed 64-bit Windows Update Agent and Windows Update is represented nothing doesn't.

    I think I have a corrupted file update is already downloaded that Windows is trying to use each time and it fails.   They seem to live in files Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and Windows\Servicing\Packages.  Although I can change the permissions to delete the file in Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download (and I've tried it without change of failure), access is denied whenever I try to touch the Windows\Servicing\Packages or its content.

    The only installed software were the latest EVGA nforce and drivers for video card, Norton Security Suite and the SoundBlaster last for my sound card driver.

    Any suggestions?
