  Original title: Windows 8 Pro Upgrade installed a 32-bit system

  Yesterday, I downloaded Windows 8 Pro. After installation, I found that he had set up a 32-bit system instead of 64-bit. My system Windows 7 was on 32 bits, but my processor is capable of 64-bit. Research on one of the forums of tecjh many people have had the problem that the downloaded version of Windows 8 is only 32-bit installation, even if the Windows 7 system is 64-bit. Does anyone know how to get Windows 8 to install 64-bit instead of 32?

  Use a pc that has x 64 os installed and re download win8 using the link in your email, now since the base is x 64 u will get a x 64 win8, burn the iso to a dvd and install it on your x 64 system support.

  Have not tried this, but some say it works... Since u already bought, it's worth a try.

• Holders for the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit?

  I have a 32-bit version of Windows 7 Professional (Win Vista Bus for Win 7 Pro UPG Media) that I purchased from NewEgg.  I want to upgrade to 64 - bit, but I didn't get 32-bit support.  This would require another purchase for the upgrade of the media?

  Yes, you will need to buy the 64-bit disc separately for distributions of Windows 7 OEM. Releasing it's easy: with Windows | ActiveWin | Laptops | Microsoft MVP

• What all is involved in the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit?

  I drive a dell dimension 3000 sp sp3 32 bit pent4 2.4 g
  I bought a used pent4 3Eg 64-bit of a factory, thinking that it is n play just plug, but no monitor or keyboard after repowered!
  And now it's history even after you have reinstalled the original pentium4.

  I've been nice with the pins, nothing was forced, catches are a match and he is listed as a upgrade dell... advice? I'll really be annoying my wife so I'm borrowing his laptop all the time ;)

  Ago only 32-bit Windows XP drivers available for this system on Dell drivers and Downloads Page.

  I think going to 64-bit would be more hassle than its worth (including XP). There is no Vista or 7 drivers this is although it can work. Although if your processor is faster than the original, it may be useful to upgrade but stick to 32 bit, XP.

• Can I use a product key UPGRADE from 32-bit Windows 7 to a new clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

  In 2009, I upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7 32 bit. This laptop recently died and is no longer in use.

  I am building a new computer and I want to install it on Windows 7 64 bit (there no initial operating system because it is a made to measure machine).
  Can I install Windows 7 64 bit on the new machine and then use the old product key, that I received in 2009, even though it was a upgrade for the 32-bit product key?

  If its a version upgrade, the answer is no.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• The upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit would make a big difference in photoshop CS6 performance?

  I work with CS6 in the system of windows XP 32 bit with 4 GB RAM max.  I constantly RAM problems saving or opening files.  I was told that change to a 64-bit operating system will solve these problems.  Does anyone have any advice or recommendations?  And if I choose to move from XP to Windows 7, version do I need for home, professional, or premium?

  If your computer is not particularly old and apparently has a capacity of 64-bit, I would certainly look past with a whole new 64 bit OS.

  There are those of us run Photoshop on Windows 7 x 64 with great success.

  And RAM is incredibly cheap right now.  I suggest go up to 16 GB if you can, even if we replace all the RAM you currently have.

  Something to keep in mind is that Windows 8 will be published this fall, and it will be priced at $39.95 for an upgrade (Yes, even an upgrade to XP).

  However, if you liked XP over his successors, you can hate Windows 8 again.  I already wrote a book on how to adjust and to increase Windows 8 to be a system based on the job because out of the box it is not something like its predecessors - the office is not where to start, and when find you your way to it to run what Microsoft sees as 'legacy' Win32 code, it is not yet a start button.

  If you really want to start talking about pushing the performance into the stratosphere, I can suggest a few ways to use SSD that can help you to do, but it is still expensive.

• The upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 8?

  Original title: Please HELP me NOW...! : D

  I have a big question... well here's my story (also sorry for my English) I bought Windows 8 Pro and I installed the 32 bit. But now I want to upgrade to a 64-bit, I can do that, if so, how? (I have the CD of windows 8 32-bit and 64-bit)

  You will need to do a clean install.

  Starting installation DVD you have (I think that the same disc contains 32-bit and 64-bit version). Then everything just go forward and do and the format of the drive system and you can choose to install the 64-bit version.

• What can go wrong with the upgrade to 64-bit?

  I think upgrade to 64-bit but I have been informed that it will be slow and that hurt lost things, but I want to know that more help please if you can.

  There is nothing wrong with if your system supports the migration to 64-bit Windows.

  Windows 7 and 10 64-bit run comfortably on 2 GB of RAM with a modern processor.

  Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.

  Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller. Also, if you decide to switch to Windows 7 64 bit in the future, there is no way to upgrade from 32-bit Windows, clean install only.

  Migration to a 64-bit version of Windows, it will take a custom Setup. This means, hardware drivers must be 64-bit compatible applications will have to be resettled.

In any case, I clicked on the install Adobe on the taskbar button and close the window.

  The note system performance then continued with about 10 steps ahead after 15 minutes. All well done.

  So the trick is to close a window of the installation components that get stuck. Hope this helps some Toshiba laptop users out so hard.

  A suggestion from bits to the team of Toshiba laptop:
  The full screen of the Recovery Wizard is good to hide technical details from users. However, if hang in some components, like the Adobe component I've seen, this will be confusing and advises current defects if the end-user following some in the thread above, legacy because of some missing components and the wrong configuration. It is preferable that the wizard of recovery to exit full screen at a given time, or the wizard handles error scenarios better.

  If you don't have a 64 bit Windows 7 media, consider the following:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• What is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1?

  I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.

  Original title: upgrade

  Hello WilliamPopat,

  If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.

  However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.

  According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it.  However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• try to move from 32-bit windows 7 to 64 bit

  I have a server supermicro 32-bit with 4 GB of ram that I want to spend to 9 GB (3x2Go + 3X1Go) with little extra ram I have lying around.  what I understand reading on the internet, the product key does not differentiate between these versions of windows.

  I divided my disk into two partitions and installed the 64-bit version to that empty via an iso of my Digital River or something like this (iso official microsoft) installed correctly, but when activation online, I said "the key to windows 7 home premium is invalid for activation."

  So now I wonder if this problem is due to the fact that I have 2 OS running simultaneously, or if the product key is different between 32 and 64-bit windows.  I only have one hard drive, and no backup CD, while trying to have a backup plan didn't stop something like this happened.

  You can use the same product key to switch to a different architecture (32 or 64-bit), even though its OEM on the same machine. As long as you have not both use at the same time, either on the machine, partition or another computer.

• The upgrade from VMware Workstation 12: can I install above?

  So I just bought a license to upgrade to workstation 12. Now, I noticed that it is (finally) 64-bit native. However, 11 Workstation is native 32-bit. Can I just install VMware Workstation 12 top like I did the upgrade from 10 to 11? Because the 10 and 11 were native 32-bit.

  The question is moot.
  Upgrade has always meant uninstall the old version, install the new version.
  If you do it yourself, you have more control, but the results will be the same.

  The safest option is: uninstall manually - reboot - check registry for services that have not been removed - if necessary, repair registry - restarts again and then install the new version right after the restart.
