• A6511.uk Pavilion: Pavilion a6511.uk windows 7 64 bit upgrade

  I have improved my a6511.uk Pavilion from Vista to Windows 7 32-bit of the disk to upgrade without problem and been running this for a few years now. I installed 2 additional 1 GB memory DIMM in the slot 3 and 4 to take up to 4 GB, as indicated by both HP and Kingston as a specific system upgrade for this model. The BIOS and windows both report of 4 GB. «The reading of the form of specification of motherboard site HP it is said ' 32-bit PC can not solve a full 4.0 GB memory»

  Although the office comes with Vista 32 bit and I have upgraded to Windows 7 32 bit, the processor is 64-bit, so I have three questions:

  1 will be available the additional 2 GB of memory in the current 32-bit OS (Windows 7 32-bit is asked to use up to 4 GB of RAM), or if I wasted my money with this upgrade?

  2. Windows 7 can be upgraded to 64-bit on this computer (I have the required upgrade disc comes with the 32-bit upgrade disk that works on the same key)?

  3. If I switch to Windows 7 64 bit upgrade tool, I would do this as a pure install or use windows, and the 64-bit system will have drivers to support this machine?

  If the system can run on a 64-bit system, the question is why not with a 64-bit processor Devil!

  Thanks to all those that can help you - the next step is to upgrade the HARD drive for one 240 GB SSD (an another HP/Kingston class upgrade), but I want to get this sorted out first.

  Put in the extra memory for 32-bit OS wouldn't give you much of a performance increase.

  You could install an OS 64 bit Windows 7 on the computer, but drivers can be a challenge that HP has no Win 7 drivers.  Drivers of this thread look like your system can work.  If this isn't the case, we can help you.

  With a Windows 7 64 bit installed you would be able to upgrade your memory up to 8 GB.

  Yes, Windows 7 will be a free upgrade for Windows 10, find out if it will work on your system may not be 100% sure.  I've seen newer computers not being not able to run win 10 Tech Preview and still some elders will be.  Only a Microsoft Upgrade Advisor will tell you, but it is not yet available.  For now see the minimum requirements to win 10.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/preview-FAQ-system-requirements-PC

  Remember you can only switch to Win 10 64-bit only if a prior installed OS was 64-bit.

  If you're feeling adventurous, try to install the win 10 Tech Preview now.

• Satellite A200 (PSAE6) - RAM on Windows 7 32 bit upgrade

  I have a Satellite A200 (PSAE6) and I wanted to put more 2 GB of RAM, but tell me the Windows 7 Ultimate 32 recognizes only 1 GB means a total of 3 GB.

  Is this true?

  Hello

  Usually the OS 32-bit Windows recognizes ONLY 3.2 GB of RAM due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
  Therefore, you cannot use 4 GB of RAM with Windows OS 32-bit (Win XP, Vista, Win 7).

  But the upgrade to 4 GB RAM also depends on the chipset and BIOS.
  If both parties (BIOS and chipset) are not 4 GB RAM capable then you would not be able to use 4 GB of RAM, even using the 64 bit OS.

• Satellite P300D - 21K Touchpad scroll not working not not on Windows 7

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum so I don't know if this is the right place to post this.

  Anyway, recently I installed Windows 7 32 bit on my Toshiba laptop, everything went well and I installed all the drivers I needed in order to make the webcam and the function of the keys at work etc.

  But I have a problem, my touchpad scrolling is not working after installation, now I can't scroll up and down, left and right with my touchpad. I tried searching for all the drivers who can help solve this problem, but I havn't been able to find everything about the touchpad.

  Anyone would be able to help me with my problem? Would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  Hi SA90,.

  Normally, you need to install the driver for the touchpad for use of the virtual scrolling function. I checked the site Web of Toshiba and I could find a touchpad driver for Windows Vista 32 bit. Normally the Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7.

• Satellite T230 - Downgrade Windows 7 64 bit to 32 bit

  Hello

  Can you please help. Just a week before I bought the Toshiba Satellite T230-10j. The laptop comes with Windows 7 64-bit edition. It has the recovery partition and no other support provided with the same. Is it possible to downgrade from 64-bit to 32-bit OS. If so can someone please provide the *.wim image. There are a many applications doesnot support 64 - bit os and the only way for me would be the Windows 7 32 bit.

  Can someone guide me how to proceed further with this.

  Kind regards

  Hi mate

  As much as I know the laptop won't was delivered with any disk recovery because you could create a clean recovery disc image using the Toshiba Recovery creator software that was preinstalled on your laptop.

  In addition if you want to downgrade the Win 7 64 bit to 32 bit then you will need to purchase the 32 bit version.

• Some drivers Win XP for Satellite P300D - 21K necessary PSPD0E

  Hello

  I'm trying to put Windows XP on my Satellite P300D - 21 k PSPD0E. I've successfully installed and download all the drivers from the Toshiba site... but I still have an IEEE 1394 controller, Ethernet controller and PCI device no drivers in Device Manager.

  I think that these usually come with the chipset drivers?
  They are not on the site of anywhere... and assume that they are not part of the update of the BIOS (I didn't run it because I have a double partition).

  Any ideas for help would be muchly appreciated.

  Owen

  > However I still have IEEE 1394 controller, Ethernet controller and PCI device no drivers in Device Manager.

  Ethernet controller seems to be LAN or WLan card and would recommend the LAN and WLan driver installation.

  The wireless network card seems to be Atheros.
  Here you can find the WLan drivers:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/?page=downloads

  LAN chip is Marvell and the driver is available on the European driver Toshiba page. If you have not installed this in the past, then do it

  Do not know what could be the another PCI device, but you can find it easily by using this work around:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=78

  The IEEE 1394 controller seems to be firewire port.
  Since the laptop seems to be equipped with a graphics chip ATI chipset driver is the graphics driver.
  The graphics card driver folder (once it has been unpacked) contains the SBDrv folder.
  You can try to install the driver through the Device Manager pointing to the files in the SBDrv folder

  Good luck

• Vista-64 bit for Windows 7 32 bit upgrade

  I have a computer I bought with Vista 64 bit OEM factory needs reinstalled operating system installed (my kids computer - trashed by viruses). I bought a copy of Windows 7 32 bit. The upgrade to Vista 64-bit to 32-bit windows 7 will be a problem with system drivers or a problem at all? Or should I buy Windows 7-64 bit? If so, can I get a credit or upgrade to the 32-bit version I've already spent money on?

  Hello

  ask whenever you bought windows 7 32-bit on a credit

  64-bit to 32-bit or 32-bit to 64-bit is not a upgrade path

  It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate of Windows 7

  Information of Windows 7:

  It depends on if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has windows 7 drivers available for him as to if it will work properly

• The 32-bit Windows 7 to windows 7 64 bit upgrade?

  I bought the upgrade disc to switch from windows XP to windows 7 and I had to use the 32 bit until I upgraded my computer. I (32 and 64-bit) disk to upgrade to windows 7.

  Yes, it should work. You may need to activate by phone after the upgrade. Ranging from a 32-bit OS for a 64 bit OS requires that you choose 'custom' own installation option. This means that your applications will have to be resettled. As you mentioned that you have already saved your data files.

• HP Pavilion DV3 - 4031TX Windows 7 32-bit upgrade to 64-bit with the OEM installation?

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv3-4031TX that came with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit OEM preloaded.

  I want to move to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

  I have run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and confirmed that my hardware is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit.

  I don't mind doing a clean install.

  I have my product key OEM with me, but no disc (BONE came preloaded).

  Is it possible to switch to 64-bit by doing a system recovery?  If Yes, where can I change the installation options? (as clicking 'Custom' instead of 'Upgrade' in the retail version Installer)

  I'm not sure if the OEM installer comes with this option.  Can someone tell me? (screenshots will be appreciated)

  Another question, if the OEM Setup program does not come with 64 bit and I have to clean install the retail version, my OEM product key will work?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  No, this is going to work. You definitely need DVD setup and key in your work of peut of the machine. Hope this helps (burn to DVD and use it to install):

• HP Photosmart C7280 solutions Center does not work after Windows 7 32 bit upgrade

  I recently updated my operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7 (32 bit).  Before the upgrade, my C7280 worked fine using the center of Solution and in my home wireless network.  After the upgrade to Windows 7 and download and install PS_AIO_02_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe, version 13.1.0, Solution Center does not work.

  At the opening of the solution Center, it displays disconnected printer.  Using the Wireless Setup Wizard, the printer connects to the network.  I can open the Solution Center and it works very well for about 3 seconds and then goes to the printer disconnected mode.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled the software update for Windows 7 package C7280 repeatedly and with the same results.  I downloaded and installed the patches and still no change.

  I finally had to restore my computer to original operating system.  After the computer back to its original configuration, I used the original to HP Photosmart printer disk to reinstall the driver for Windows Vista.  Everything worked as before.  Then I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.  Yet once, he told me that the HP Photosmart C7280 printer was not compatible with Windows 7.  I uninstalled the printer driver and run Windows 7 upgrade advisor.  This time, I have not received any message about the C7280 printer.

  I installed upgrading to Windows 7 (32-bit), and then upgrade the HP Photosmart C7280 for Windows 7 32-bit driver.  Everything works fine now.

• Satellite A660 - change Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit

  Hi there everyone.

  Really hoping someone can help me here. My A660 had 64-bit Windows 7 installed on it. It was installed as an option I chose when I bought the new product. I had to fix it because the hard drive was bad sectors. If Toshiba gave me an interview and gave me a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows for what they called the factory settings. It seems that it is 32 bit Windows7.

  Now I have a problem when I go to reinstall my system image before taking service, I've created, but I seem to fail whenever I try this. I used the advanced recovery methods and he does not see my hard drive, but when I restart from there he concludes the backup on the external drive, but then he says that he cannot reinstall and I need to reinstall from the recovery disc. So I restart from that and it loads, but it gets to a point where he wants me to insert a disc to cotninue recovery and, as previously indicated my system image are on an external hard drive.

  I'm really lost, stayed back and tried to copy the image of the system directly on the folder of C, but which does nothing. I don't know what to do to get the picture of the system either accepted, or the recovery disc that I have the system installed.

  I'm not a tech guy, but am pretty comfortable in following instructions. Can anyone help me, either move to 64-bit or reinstall it with. Please, I beg you, help is needed! I thought I did everything I was supposed to and followed all the rules handy calculation, but I do not.

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Hello

  > It seems that it is 32 bit Windows7.
  Is this really Windows 7 32-bit and you have already verified this? You can check if you right click on my computer and select Properties.

  If he s really Windows 7 32 bit, you can restore the 64-bit version using the Toshiba recovery disc but if I understood you correctly you don t have the recovery disk and only some of the files you backed up on external HARD disk, right? Well is not enough

  Normally, the recovery disk Toshiba, you create yourself as mentioned in the user manual. Using this disk, you can restore the original settings of the case and after the first start of your laptop you have seen this message:

  + Important INFORMATION +.

  + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.

  + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
  + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.

  In any case, now it s too late for that, but you can directly order such a disk from Toshiba:
