The acquisition of the HP with Vista 32 bit Home Premium system, upgrade to Windows 7

Hello

I bought aHP system with 32bitVista Home Premium (is it possible I have quilify for a get an or64bit of 32-bit (32 or 64-bit), vista download?, and I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate edition (am I understand that Windows 7 came with 32-bit and 64-bit? OK?))

I have another computer I would like to install the 32-bit vista, but HP does not include an installation disc only a RECOVERY directory on the D: drive (also when I bought the system it's not all service packs, which affects the installation information?)

How can I get that copy of vista on my other computer?

Then I install 64 bit Windows 7 on this computer

Thank you all in advance for your time and knowledge

Sincerely,

Tungerz

When you buy a new computer with a Microsoft Windows OS installed at the factory, it is an OEM version.  Unlike retail versions that you can buy in the store, the OEM versions are no longer valid on the first computer it's installed and activated on.  In addition, the Windows Vista license must stay on the computer, as will be the basis to install an 'upgrade' of Windows 7 version.  Without this license Windows Vista installed, you must rather a license of Windows 7 more expensive "full version". Carey Frisch

Hello Richard,.

Thanks for your comments as my friend.

OK Carey, this brings me to the next question... "Without this license of Windows Vista installed, you'll have rather a license of Windows 7"full version"more expensive."

After I upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate without the license of Windows 7 more expensive "full version". It is permitted only on this machine too? or is this considered a retail version I own?

It comes with both 32 bit and 64 bit installs?

Once again thanks to you both for your time and knowledge, I am truly grateful.

Peace,

Tungerz

If you purchase a Windows 7 Upgrade license it is transferable to another computer as it is a retail license and retail licenses are transferable to different computers.  You can only use one of the levels of two bits (32 or 64) of Windows 7 at the same time.  In other words, you cannot use the license for two computers at the same time, a 32-bit and 64-bit.  It works just like that.

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  • Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating systems disks

    I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium installed on it.  I've since upgraded to Windows 7.  Unfortunately, there are a few programs that will not work under Windows 7 little matter what I do.

    So, I would try to run a virtual Windows Vista system.  The problem is that I can't find my disk with the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium on it.

    Download the Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating system so that I can burn a disc for a back-up or I can order a drive with the OS on it?

    Thank you!

    You can not upgrade to Windows 7, and then use the Vista OS you used as part of the upgrade to install another (even virtual).

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    And Microsoft provide no DVD for computers of the brand OEM (Dell, HP, etc).

    Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  • Vista 64-bit Home Premium Backup and Restore

    -What is the backup program included with Vista 64-bit Home Prem supposed to create backup files in WinZip?

    Hi VanHylant,

    A backup file is a copy of a file that is stored in a separate location from the original.

    The backup file will have a .bkf file name extension. So let us try to uninstall Winzip and see if the problem is resolved.

  • Suggestions for synchronization of the Z22 with Vista 64 bit?

    Hello world

    I know there are many positions related to this, but I'm still not clear on what I need to do, so I hope someone can help!

    I just bought a new laptop with Vista 64 bit, and I have a Palm Z22.  I know there is currently no drivers for Vista 64-bit, and my laptop does not seem have an infrared port, so here's my question: anyone had success synchronization a Z22 in any other way, and if so, how?  Any help would be appreciated!

    I am posting this probably a bit late, but for the benefit of anyone else who runs into this problem, I have had success using the IRDA to USB for Hotsync adapter a Z22 with a laptop under Vista 64.

    I use an old version of Palm Desktop and Hotsync software in 32-bit compatibility mode.  When I tried to do a Hotsync via the USB port, I discovered that there is no USB driver for 64-bit for the Palm handhelds.  Not at the time I write this, in any case (Nov. 2008).

    The only other option is IR for the Z22.  I found an adapter USB to IRDA model USB-1510 online.  The adapter comes with an extension cable USB for those who have a desktop PC or a USB located inconveniently on a laptop.

    As soon as I plugged the adapter to the USB port on the laptop the 64-bit for the adapter driver has been downloaded from the Windows Update site.

    I created Hotsync via infrared like I would on any other PC and it worked the first time.  The only problem is that if you start Hotsync by touching the permanent icon next to the writing area, he will always try to synchronize via USB, but I guess it's a matter of Palm Z22.  I have been using the icon on the main touch screen that always starts with an IR connection after the initial installation.

    If you have a different model, Bluetooth and Wi - Fi Hotsync seem to work for others.

  • Vista 64 Bit Home Premium does not start when a disc is in the optical drive

    I tried to understand this for a long time, but I thought I might as well ask for help.  I use Vista 64 - bit Home Edition Premium and the problem I have is that I cannot restart my machine if a disc is in the optical drive. Specifically, if I have a DVD or Bluray disc in the optical drive (IE a BD - ROM drive). When I restart my computer and a disk is present, the startup process is going past the initial windows screen, but that's how far it goes. My desktop (I don't have a password to connect). Initially, I thought it was a matter of priority to boot but the boot process starts from the hard drive but stops at half way through. Then, I went into the BIOS and removed the optical drive completely from the boot priority list.  But there is no change in behavior. The process stops with the only thing visible on the splash screen is a black screen and the hard drive light flashes and goes out from time to time.  I use this computer as my Home Theater PC and sometimes I have to restart my machine when a movie DVD or a Bluray movie is in the optical drive. I would appreciate any response that can help me solve this problem...

    Thanks in advance...

    There may be something wrong with the files on your hard disk.  We will try to update to see if it helps:

    Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps (I believe you need a disc for Installation of Vista to do that, even if some Installtion OEM disc might work, but probably not all the recovery discs).

    1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. press a key when you are prompted.

    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    4. click on repair your computer.

    5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

    6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

    ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    ·        c:

    ·        Boot CD

    ·        BCD attrib s h - r

    ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    If this does not work, or if you do not have the disk, try EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 and see if that works and does everything well.  Make sure what you are doing or you could mess up your boot files and you'd be in a lot of trouble.

    I don't know if the problem is even caused by startup files (but it is possible if it is not the BIOS), but you'd better check and if the procedures are followed to the letter as stated there is no harm in trying.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • VISTA 64-bit Home Premium gel / blocking / Auto Reboot

    Since the first week of September 2010, my computer freezes randomly upward (gel); sometimes itself reboots and goes into a restore / system recovery mode.

    Model HP m8407c Intel 2.4 G processor, 4 GB RAM, 750G HD.

    After about 20 auto-redémarre or lock-up, I stripped most of the stuff, ran every possible internal diagnosis for the OS and the hardware.  No problem found.  Ran diskcheck, no problem; issue continues.  No observable trends - had sometimes a browser to the top, sometimes it locks with no program user started, sometimes on the flavor of the screen (bubbles).  Sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after a day.  I disabled the sidebar, Skype, IPOD window and all the other processes of 'auto'.  No joy.  After 10 days without recovery, restorations, audits of the system (all negative) - I have it smoothed by reloading the factory partitioned D drive (where VISTA operating system is stored); eliminating all programs loaded and the user files.

    It was the day before yesterday; Since then, I loaded all the patches/updates (130 in total), to include SP2 and IE 8.0.  Problem persists.

    I consider myself as above average in computer science, but he lost with this one.  I don't think it's a question of HD (2.5 years old computer); HD has more than half of the car is empty - a lot of swap space. RAM is 4G and I do not run a lot or play games, so not much of a drain in my mind.  Other that a VISTA update routine, nothing has changed the first week of September.  I guess it's a question of BONE or the VIDEO but nothing changed sage program (added or deleted) and after he nuking, it always crashes and goes into the system restore procedure.

    I read almost every post on this site gel VISTA and none seem to apply to my situation, or worked to solve.  I downloaded 'free' registry cleaning programs - that say I have errors that need to be cleaned.  I hesitate to purchase the license to clean it for fear that I am running good money after bad.  I said to date WIN7 - but if it's a question of the HD, it's a lot of money after bad.

    Frustrated; need help please.
