Tecra M11 - 17z - Question about upgrade to Win7 32 bit to 64 bit

I have a Tecra M11 - 17z with the pre-installed OS 32 - bit Windows 7 Professional.
I want to change the 64-bit operating system.

For this I have to do a 'clean' custom install the 64-bit system.
As this is a new laptop and the software bundle that came with the laptop can be downloaded I don't mind to do this.

Do I have to buy a new Windows 7 Professional to clean install 64-bit?
Where is the best place to go for the software needed?

Ideas and help very appreciated.

> Should I buy a new Windows 7 Professional to clean install 64-bit?
I guess the image pre-installed on this laptop contains just 32boit version of Win 7.
So yes, you need to buy a Win 7 64 bit Microsoft Disk in order to install the 64-bit version.

> Where is the best place to go for the software needed?
You can purchase Win 7 64 bit across most of the stores online like Amazon is a hotel and I think it would be the easiest and fastest way to get to this

  • Question about upgrading to Vista 64 - bit - Satellite A300-1EG

    Hello

    I wanted to ask you, how can I run Vista 64-bit without losing all the software that I got carried away with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-1EG?
    I would be remiss and so on the Toshiba disk creator?
    Is there a way to extract somehow the recovery DVD?

    Thank you

    Please do not mix two different things. 64-bit and 32-bit versions are not the same and if your mobile phone is supported for the version of Vista 64-bit, you can find all the drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    Have you already checked this?

    BTW: recovery image cannot be used for spare parts. It can only be used in the package.

  • Questions about upgrading a Compaq Presario CQ5205Y desktop computer system

    Good evening

    I'm about to embark on my first serious upgrade of my computer, and I thought it would be a good idea to arrive before I get too far down the rabbit hole (and knocked out my Internet access).  What motivates the need to upgrade, it's that the system tends to lag when I programs using a lot of memory running and I think I can give him a decent boost on reasonably low budget.

    I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5205Y Win7-64 bit without modification until running.  I'm lookin to upgrade the CPU and the RAM of the machine.  For ease of reference, here is the page describing the system:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01859812&lang=en&cc=us&Conte...

    For the CPU, I found a good price on an AMD Phenom X 4 9750 2.4 GHz Quad-Core CPU (HD9750WCJ4BGH).  What I read, it meets the necessary criteria (socket AM2 + 95W, etc.).  I still need to determine if it needs a fan or non - language marketing indicates that it is not), but assuming that it works, here are my questions for this update:

    1 should I update the BIOS on the card, or change one of its parameters to recognize the new chip?

    2. with regard to the installation, I think that it's pretty simple - unlock/remove the Semprom LE-1300 that is there now, carefully align the new processor Phenom X 4 (Golden to golden triangle triangle) and tighten in place. Then, if necessary, install the fan/radiator.  Is this correct, or am I missing something important and potentially catastrophic?

    For the RAM, I have not bought, but I think I need barrettes 2x2gb DDR2 memory unbuffered, non - ECC memory.  I'm showing my ignorance here, but I imagine that rain is better in this case and is much better than the PC2-5300 memory PC2-6400.  If Yes, then maybe something like (or more affordable if I can find it):

    http://www.TigerDirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6252562&CSID=_61

    Once again, a couple of very similar questions:

    1. do I need to change BIOS settings after I installed memory or if the automatic detection system?

    2. I swapped memory on other computers before so I guess that this motherboard is always the same - unclip/dethrone the existing memory, slide into the new and snap it in place.  Does this sound right?

    In my view, which covers everything I know, but if anyone has any other advice or warning indication, they would certainly be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for help a beginner brave new waters.

    Processor:

    (1) no updated BIOS available for this model

    (2) more or less correct... you will need a HSF (heatsink & fan) for the new processor and a thermal paste. After the installation of the CPU, you apply the thermal is dedicated to the then install the HSF. The stock will be Sempron HSF to adapt and work but can not dissipate the extra heat

    (3) it is one of these models that will accept AM3 Athlon II and Phenom II CPU (see CPU upgrade in specs), but if it is supported depends on the revision of the motherboard and the BIOS version. Your choice of Phenom 9750 is a sure way to go

    Memory:

    (1) once again, no BIOS update available for this model

    (2) sounds right

    (3) you can look at Newegg.com best prices

  • Satellite A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature

    I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
    Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
    And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
    What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?

    My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
    I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
    He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

    This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
    I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
    But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.

    This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?

    Tom

    The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
    If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
    If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive

    > I have installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees. He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

    CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
    You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature.

  • X61T overheating slightly after upgrade to win7 64 bit

    Hello

    I just upgraded my X61t with a new SSD and Win7 Home 64 bit. But I noticed it's running more hot (temperature displayed by CoreTemp) than the previous Vista 32bits. While Vista 32 was about 60 with a maximum of 70 degrees, Win7 64 bit is mostly 70 with a maximum of 85.

    Is this normal? What worry, anyone seen this symptom with Win7 already? Maybe I should stay with 32 bit?

    What is the operating system or some driver missing?

    (I have the BIOS 1.25)

    Thank you

    Alex

    Hello

    After that a few days on Win7-64 is still no update from Windows Update, don't know why. Finally, I went with Win7-32 and updates quickly popped up, installed all the + all the stuff from Lenovo and it works ok now. It still runs hot sometimes (about 80) when the CPU is at full load, but otherwise seems normal.

    If I were you (and my computer) I would opt for 64 bit for several reasons.  No doubt, it's a pain, but not a recurring.

    Yes the parameters is a simple gesture.  Since firefox is 32-bit, it will work either.

    Dependent on 32-bit level

    Earn 8 a Metro and regulaer of the office.  You can easily switch using the key of the 'victory '.

    You can pin, have lists of shortcuts and virtually everything that you now on win 7.

    Don't get me wrong, it's different and you will love it or hate it.

    Good luck.  (BTW I used it as my only OS since February)

  • Several activations phone for the upgrade (reinstall) Win7 32 bit to Win7 64-bit, then run the patch to get Win10 64-bit? Adviser says no need!

    [Subject title changed to take account of the answers and expert advice, the original title was 1 or 2 time phone activation? Failure of the mobo, replace & reinstall Win 7 32 bit (1st time), reinstall as Win 7 64 bit (2nd time?)]

    My mother Office card failed recently, it is installed with retail 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium and family (3 users) Office 2010 package. Two Microsoft products have product keys.

    My understanding is change of motherboard: computer transfer. While the retail Windows 7 allow to reactivate by phone, but to reactivate Office 2010 will depends on a license agreement (which I haven't checked: 2 installations on computers, died 1 single installation still work left.) Will need to contact the family member to read).

    My 2nd understanding is I can try to connect my hard drive to a new motherboard and let it go through for direct start startup repair. Is better because I don't have data because of the sudden failure of the motherboard (for example bookmarks for the browser explore, can only log into the existing facility backup).

    But being upgraded to the new motherboard (and the new quad core processors), certainly I wouldn't keep running 32-bit system in the future.

    I would reinstall under Windows 7 64-bit later, then a free update to Windows 10 64-bit. (Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor reported that I can not direct implementation installation upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 7. Must pass through the new Setup again.)

    Whereas for the 32-bit Office 2010... I could continue to use it as it is if it is allowed to reactivate on new motherboard.

    Now, my question: to reactivate Windows 7 32-bit (and 32-bit Office 2010) with phone, later when I finished the backup of the data and do clean install Windows 7 64 bit (and 32-bit Office 2010), do I need to do to activate by phone, again? Or simply key in the original product key from the license of Windows 7 and Office 2010 already recognized the new motherboard?

    If I need do activate phone 2 times, I might as well direct own to install 64 bit Windows 7 now (despite the loss of some data).

    There is nothing worse you could install on your system than McAfee.  If you have it installed I would like to reinstall Windows it's a Goner.  The uninstall tool likely will not solve everything.

    I'm not "understand why, you need to install Windows 7 64-bit just to make a less than 10 Windows upgrade when you have a much better install directly Clean install Windows 10 Upgrade , then activate directly with the product key Windows 7."

    As to reactivate Office, wait until you get 10 windows up and then make the activation of the phone to help build just to install an Office (or 3 If you have a 3-pack of office, also).   Otherwise, you will have to redo the reinstallation of upgrade.

    I have the disc update Toshiba Windows 7 family premium 32-bit and 64-bit
    I have upgraded from Vista operating system preinstalled
    I chose the 32-bit option.

    I choose 64-bit with the same disk?

    Hello

    As far as I know the laptop came with VISTA 32/64 Bit HOME PREMIUM system (DOUBLE).
    So, you can use Vista 32 bit or 64 bit

    Just to clarify this: you used Vista 32 bit in the past and updated the Vista 32 bit to Win 7 32 bit. Right?

    Well, if you want to use Win 7 64 bit, you can upgrade to Vista 64-bit for Win 7 64 bit, or you must be a new install of Win 7 64 bit using a floppy Microsoft Win 7 64 bit.

    2 maximum capacity of RAM for your Tecra M5 should be 4 GB according to the specifications. This means that you can install the 2 GB of memory on each RAM slot.
    The specifications are DDR2-667 you need.

  • Question about upgrade disk for Tecra M1

    Hello

    I have a failed 60 GB hard drive in my notebook Tecra M1 aged three years and decided to upgrade to a new drive before the existing one doesn't die. I would like to take this opportunity to install a slightly larger HDD (for example 80 to 120 GB) but I'm unclear as to the maximum permitted by the BIOS (1.5 v) has anyone successfully mounted a drive of more than 60 GB in a Tecra M1 or found definitive information on the limitations of the BIOS?

    Thank you very much

    Jezzer

    Hello

    I found information that the Tecra M1 supports 30 GB, 40 GB, 50 GB and 60 GB HDD.
    Perhaps you might be able to use a 80 GB HARD drive, but I think that the 100 GB HARD drive is definitely too large size of HARD drive.

    What about a HARD drive test? You could take the laptop to a merchant of HARD drive and you could test several sizes.
    I think that it is no bad idea. What do you think??

    Respect,

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
    So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

    Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
    Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
    Type of module - SO-DIMM

    So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
    You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

    If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
    Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).

  • Satellite A50 543: Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

    I'm looking to upgrade the internal hard disk on my A50 543 to 100 GB at 7200 RPM. The original drive is a Fujitsu 60GM 4200. I have found no information on the Internet on other readers line CMS that have been tested and found compatible with the A50. I need at least 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM to edit video.

    Suppliers meet usually only with so many laptops on the market, they cannot test each hard drive with any laptop, but can tell if it is compatible with the specifications of the computer and the hard disk specifications and are so confident that their information is accurate that they offer a money back guarantee (excluding shipping costs)

    My question is
    (1) how can I be sure that the drive will work (considering the high international shipping costs) to 100%?

    (2) none of the contributors to this forum may recommend a hard drive internal 5400 RPM or more it has installed on the same model specification?

    Thank you. You are my last hope

    Best regards

    Hello

    If you want to be 100% sure that works on your HARD drive, so I think the best way is to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Here, you can order all the devices and parts compatible and supported.
    I also found these Toshiba hard disks that must be compatible:
    HDD2187B 20 GB 4 200
    HDD2190B 40 GB 4 200

    In this case, you can use a disk HARD of GB 5 400 80 but I put t found no information about 100 GB of HARD drive.
