  The upgrade to Windows XP?

  Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

  Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

  More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

  1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (winodws.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

  2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

  3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

  4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

  5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

  If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services. Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com http://www.activewin.com

  I have baught a new portable computer and you want to install windows vista (32-bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do it with windows 7 (64-bit)

  the laptop contained Home Basic windows 7 (64-bit) and I want to install windows vista Home premium (32 bit) on a bootable partition that it will be possible to do or tell me the parallel method to move a certain 32-bit operating system...

  I do not understand your question. If the laptop can run Windows Vista, it can probably run Windows 7 too.

  To run Windows 7 64-bit, the processor must be a minimum Core 2 Duo.

  System requirements:

  * 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

  * 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

  MS

  In general they all are probably and you would have to buy new licenses to each of them.

  Minimum specifications for win 8 32 bit are 1 GB of ram and 256 MB of video.  64-bit is double and most xp machines do not correspond to the invoice.

  If you give us the make and model of the machine, we can help with this.

• Will be skydrive folders to sync between computers running vista 32 bit and 64 bit win7 systems?

  I have two laptops, running a Vista 32 bit and the other works under Windows 7 64-bit.  Can I use SkyDrive to synchronize folders and files between two computers?  I am the only user of both computers

  SkyDrive will be see no difference between the different OS and bit versions. You can upload your documents to SkyDrive from a Vista 32 bit and download them on a 64-bit of Windows 8, or even on a Mac.

  For a real-life example, I created earlier today a PowerPoint presentation using a 32-bit Office PowerPoint 2010 on a 32-bit Windows Home Premium, uploaded to SkyDrive and later at home, downloaded on my Windows 8 Pro 64-bit and continued to edit with Office PowerPoint 2013.

  Your files and documents "know not"what version of the program and the OS bits, they were created with. " Bit version is important when it comes programs and system files, not with your personal files and documents.

• How to run a 32-bit program written in foxpro for windows (fpw26) under a window of 64 bit 7 or 8

  Original title: compatibility issue

  How to run a 32-bit program written in foxpro for windows (fpw26) under a window of 64 bit 7 or 8

  Thanks in advance

  32-bit programs work fine on 64 bit versions of Windows.  In fact, over 95% of the software that comes with the 64-bit Windows version is 32-bit, because there is no reason for re - programming software for upper bits when it would not net any performance gain.  Even Microsoft Office is 32-bit on a 64-bit computer.

  So to use a 32-bit program, just run it normally.  If there are failures, let us know what said failure.

  PS. the program may have other failures that are unrelated to the number of bits of the processor.  Try right click on the program and choose to resolve compatibility issues to try to fix it automatically.

• I have Vista Home premium and you want to install Windows Defender, but however get the 08x800106ba error message.

  I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.

  Where should I go from here

  Hello

  You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

  Read about Defender:

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

• I am running vista 32 bit and I think the upgrade to windows 7

  I'm running vista 32 bit and I think the upgrade to windows 7, I don't know if I choose the upgrade option, I can keep all my files and all the software that I

  installed on my laptop but that include photos, video and music and send the parameters I use outlook 2003.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Depends on which edition of Vista you use on Windows 7 edition, you can switch to.

  And as you use 32-bit, you can only switch to Windows 7 32 bit.

  32-bit to 64-bit should be done with a clean install.

  Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  Hello

  The only FULL of Windows 8 Pro version would be the OEM System Builder... everything else is an upgrade...

  Unlike Win 7 and earlier versions, Microsoft is not offering one COMPLETE Win 8 other than OEM package...

  The difference is that the OEM version has no support from Microsoft... If you have a problem, you are on your own... Just enjoy the Forums and for any issues that arise...

  Providing that there are drivers available for your laptop to win 8, it should work...
