Should I install windows 7 64 bit on Ideapad Z460 with 2 GB ram?

Hello world!

I use Ideapad Z460. Chipset: Core i3 M380, 2 gig of ram. I use windows 7 x 86 (32 bit). Should I upgrade to the 64 bit version of windows 7? And my computer runs faster after the upgrade?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your comment!

Already, I have installed windows 7 64-bit. It works very well. Specifically, I think it's really faster when I install applications. I use as a 4 GB USB DRIVE for readyboost.

    This applies to you:

    What version of Windows 7 should I install: the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version?

    To install a 64 bit version of Windows 7, you need a processor that is capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows. The benefits of using a 64-bit operating system are especially visible when you have a large amount of RAM (RAM) installed on your computer, typically 4 GB RAM or more. In this case, because a 64-bit operating system can handle large amounts of memory more effective than a 32-bit operating system, a 64-bit system can be more responsive when you run several programs at once and switching between them frequently.

  • Can satellite A100-003 - I install Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Hello everyone,

    I have the Satellite A100-003 and I've been running it with Windows XP since I it (triple). Now I want to install Windows 7 on it, however, I'm confused about what can I install on it.

    I have a few places on the Toshiba site, I found that I can install Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit), but I can met some problems with the BIOS, in other places, I tried but could not find the drivers for Windows 7 64 bit.

    So what is the case? My first goal is to install windows 7 64 bit, because I have 4 GB of RAM on my laptop, but even the 32 bit would be a better choice than XP right now.
    So I can install Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop?

    Thanks in advance for any answer!

    Hello

    Important before installing another OS, you check the Toshiba driver download page. Satellite A100-003 belongs to the PSAARE series and is therefore not available for Windows 7 drivers. You can only get the drivers for Windows XP and Vista 32 bit.

    This means that you can try to install Windows 7 because Vista drivers most also work on Windows 7.
    If this isn't the case you find newer drivers yourself, maybe you can find something.

  • EFI system error related to... Cannot install windows 7 64-bit on lenovo g580...

    Hello

    I have Lenovo g580 which had pre-installed BACK inside {i5, 500 GB, 4 GB} and initially I had installed Win 7 32 bit on it. At that time, there was some problems while rebooting the 1st time, but I ran windows repair option and everything went well.

    But the problem came when I tried to install windows 7 64 bit on the laptop with a DVD, no matter which drive to choose, it only allows me to move forward. When I checked the details, I got the error message which is attached here.

    Link to image

    There is no option of disk controller in the BIOS, or anything whatsoever the UEFI systems tto.

    I did the r & d on uefi systems, but I want to be sure of everything until I get ahead of what it is.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for no help guyz!

    but I found a way... so for anyone else out there... Here is the solution...

    1. When installing to the partition screen, press SHIFT + F10.
    2. At the prompt, type diskpart and press ENTER.
    3. Type list disk (not the number of the disk to be used)
    4. Type select disk X, where X is the number of the disk to use.
    5. Clean type. This erases all data on your system.
    6. Type convert gpt
    7. Now reboot the system with the DVD/USB, and you will see only the unallocated space. Use to install the new windows.

    Be warned however, this clears the partition table on the disk; Make sure that you have a backup before attempting this, if you have important data

  • Should Qosmio G30-204 - I install Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Hi people,

    I have a Qosmio G30-204. I've updated the RAM to 4 GB. She has Windows Vista 32 bit installed currently.

    I plan on installing windows 7.
    If I install Windows 7 64 bit, or it must be 32 bits?

    What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit anyway?

    Hello

    If you have upgraded laptop with 4 GB of RAM, you must install Windows 7 64 bit. On all the 32 bit OS, you can only use ~3.2GB reason for the limitation of the 32 bits.

    That's also the difference between 32 and 64 bits, the size of RAM supported. ;)

    Try to reduce the amount of RAM installed on a unique key or 2 GB and try to install the new.

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  • Can satellite A100-011 - I install Windows 7 64 bit?

    Can you please tell me if I install Windows 7 64 bit where can I find the drivers, because they are not listed on the Toshiba site.

    Thanx.

    Akis

    Hi Akis,

    > where I can find the drivers, because they are not listed on the Toshiba site.
    That of the point because the drivers provided for this model, you can find on the official website of Toshiba. There's no other place where you can download the pre-tested and official drivers for Toshiba laptops.

    Theoretically, there s no problem to install Windows 7, but you don't have to search the drivers yourself on other sites like:
    [www.intel.com]
    [www.realtek.com]
    [www.atheros.com]
    Etc.

    An alternative you can try 64 bit Vista drivers. Usually they should work on Windows 7 too.

  • Install Windows 7 64 bit and Vista 32 bit on the same drive

    I have Vista 32 bit installed on my laptop. Media recovery is on a recovery partition, I have no recovery DVD such as $85 for something that should be included with my expensive laptop anyway, it is a bit much

    I have a drive to upgrade Windows 7 from my laptop manufacturer that allows me to each upgrade or to start from scratch.

    I want to install Windows 7 64 bit on a separate partition for the installation of my 32-bit Vista, but when I boot on the DVD there is no option to select the 32 or 64 bit, it only allows me to install the 32-bit version. I have partitions installed correctly then they arnt the problem. If I try to boot from the recovery partition to install Vista 64 bit on a separate partition, to upgreade can leave, he simply don't say so, it doesn't allow the recovery or replacement of my existing Vista installation. Also, often when I boot to recovery mode, by organizing 0 start up, he simply waits some time and the Vista of boots in any case.

    How should I do to dual boot Windows 7 64 bit and Vista 32-bit, as all possible ways I have tried do not work, and I can't afford to buy the madmen of... Toshiba recovery media ?

    The 'disc Windows 7 from the manufacturer of your laptop upgrade' can be used to improve the qualification system of operating from 32-bit of Windows Vista that was originally installed on the laptop.  It cannot be used for any other configuration or purpose. Carey Frisch

    Actually, this isn't just a "upgrade drive" it's a full disc of Windows 7, I know that I can install full Windows 7 32 bit in a separate partition for Vista.

    The problem is solved in any case, I managed to hide my Vista (C) install with Acronis and boot to the WIndows 7 DVD. It then allowed me to install Windows 7 64 bit on the other Partition, because he did not think that 32-bit Windows Vista has been installed on the HARD drive. I managed to deceive it by showing the menu options of 32 bits or 64 bits in this way... I assumed it was a protection system put in place by Microsoft to stop upgrade problems if soemone tried upgrade Vista 32, Windows 7 64

    Now under Vista 32 and Widnws 7 64 on the same computer.

  • Can I use the product key to my Home Premium pre installed windows 7 64-bit OS that are in my label of windows laptop back?

    I downloaded the iso file of windows 7 Home premium 64-bit. can I use the product key to my Home Premium pre installed windows 7 64-bit OS that are in my label of windows laptop back...

    If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, you should have a recovery if partition:

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    ------------------------

    If the recovery partition is damaged or does not, you can then use the downloaded Home Premium as an alternative.

  • I installed Windows 7 64 bit and then some programs will not install the 64 - bit while telling me that I have a 32 bit OS. How can I make sure I have load a 64-bit version only when there is a choice?

    I have create a new PC and installed Windows & Pro 64-bit. While some offer programs install both 32-bit and 64-bit as a single installation and the installation of the program checks it should install. A few programs installed 32-bit when I said to use the 64-bit. I received a message that I had a 32 bit OS and that it could not install the 64-bit version. How can I ensure that the 64-bit version is always installed when it is available. I have a program that I need it's 32-bit however.

    I also installed Office 2010 and want to know how to check if it installed 32-bit or 64-bit.
    All this is because I'm about to build a new PC for my wife and want to avoid these problems right at the front with it.
    Thank you

    If you buy a commercial version of win7 you are provided with the installation dvd of bit versions and a unique activation key. You cannot install both versions.

    Most of the programs will install without problem in a 64-bit version of victory, there is very little that will not be installed on Windows 64-bit.

    You install programs as usual, you don't need to change any settings or install to anywhere other than their default locations. -C' IE you do not manually select the x 86 folder or any other folder.

    If the program you are installing has the ability to install a specific version of bit, and it does not work, then the problem is that options program installers, you must contact the program support

    A retail version of Office 2010 also comes with two versions of ILO.

    Having a 64-bit version of victory does NOT mean that you need to install 64-bit Office, in fact MS recommends that stick you with 32-bit Office (reason being compatibility with various plug0ins Office)

    And of course the 32-bit version of win only supports 4 GB of memory

    A few videos that use the Flash plugin contain a menu entry in the context menu that allows to disable hardware acceleration in flash player.

    To disable the mode you will need to edit the file C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg as explained in the knowledge base article protected.

  • Satellite P300 - how to install Windows 7 64 bit?

    Hello

    I had a Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade for my P300 which was under Vista 32 bit. During installation, asked me if I wanted to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 and I chose 32-bit. Installation worked fine.

    Now (moths later) I decided that I would like to install the 64-bit version instead. I have an own (custom) settled by booting from the DVD, but it don't did me not option for the moment and all re-installed Windows 7 32 bit. I know that the 64-bit version is on the DVD (there is a folder for it) - how to start from the DVD and have it install the 64 bit version?
    I didn't format the drive when you perform the clean installation - if I do that it will give me the option?

    Thank you
    Ben.

    Great news, mate! :)

    Thank you for this feedback. I'll test it on my Satellite P300 I want to upgrade to Windows 7 too.

    In addition, an upgrade is possible to the same version: This means that Vista 32 bit can only be upgraded to 32-bit Windows 7. On 64 bit it s the same ;)
