• 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 Windows 7 to 64 - bit Windows 8

  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.

• 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.

  Be careful, this other computer recovery disk may be only for use with the computer, with which he came. In addition, the edition must match the product key you plan to install, if they don't, it won't work.

  If its a version of upgrade / full license or OEM System Builder detail disk then you can use it.

  Keep in mind, the editions must match.

• Windows 7 Home Premium - 'Upgrade' from 32 bit to 64 bit?

  Two years ago, I used a student contract to purchase an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7. At the time, I chose to download the 32-bit version and used the product key, I got with this version.

  Now, I wish for a clean install and choose the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. My PC seems to be ready, the Compatibility Center Windows says there is no problem with hard-ware. However, because I downloaded from the store, I have only a version of the 32-bit client on the spot.

  I'll be able to run a clean install and use the product key that is currently used with my 32-bit Windows 7 with a downloaded version of the 64-bit client? If so, it is legal to download a generic version of the Windows 7 64-bit client considering I have the product key is legitimate? I can't go back into the store to choose a different download for some reason link any.

  I would like to move to a 64 bit version of Windows 7 without having to repurchase all of the operating system, as it is too expensive for me right now.

  Unable to start installing Windows 7 32 bit, you must boot from the disc.

  To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

  http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• How to migrate my upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 8

  Hello to everyone

  I bought the Windows 8 upgrade online to update my Windows XP installation to 8.

  However, I only had the 32-bit version, which I didn't discover until Windows 8 32-bit was already installed. It's a disappointment because my support 64-bit Windows 8 and for this reason it is accurate that I wanted to move to Windows 8.

  I followed the instructions on the Microsoft support site now who tell me to buy separate installation media. It means that I have an official DVD with Windows 8 upgrade to 64 - bit.

  My question is how should I proceed from here? Can I just install Windows 8 64-bit directly above the windows 8 32 bits already installed on my hard drive and do this by booting from the DVD?

  I tried to do last night, but the only result was that Windows 8 32-bit re-installed itself hard disk and deleted applications and data on the hard drive.

  The only solution I see would be to have to re-install my old Windows XP and start the 64-bit DVD to install it directly on the. And frankly, this seems like an unnecessary pain.

  Any help with going from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 8 using my version of upgrade would be greatly appreciated. Honestly, I do not understand why Microsoft has made this process so difficult.

  Cheers, BillyBob

  Hello Andrew

  Thank you for your quick and comprehensive response. I see from your answer that it is possible to 'upgrade' to Windows 8 64 bits from an installed version of 32-bit simply start from the 64-bit DVD and by taking the necessary precautions to copy data and files in advance.

  Thanks especially for the guide step by step designed to make a "custom installation". It is the exact procedure, I was looking to have confirmed. I couldn't do this job yesterday, but it may have been because, inadvertently, I activated the "system reset" function of the 32-bit Windows 8 on the hard disk when you are looking for the option to open a "custom installation".

  I will try that tonight and get back to you (and any other Googling their way here) a confirmation if it works or not as I found it difficult to find detailed information on this procedure elsewhere.

  Just to be clear 100%: it is possible to use the DVD from an upgrade VUP to do a clean install 64-bit on a 32-bit Windows 8 installed version, right?

  Best regards, BillyBob

  Please note, an upgrade is not possible by either from installing from a Windows version, or by booting from the disc for 32 to 64-bit scenarios.

  Yes, you can use the disk to upgrade to migrate from 32 to 64-bit.

• We tried to upgrade our 32-bit windows vista system to Windows 7 32 bit

  Separated from this thread.

  We tried to upgrade our system to 32-bit windows vista to windows 7 32 bit and find no right answer to what we have to do to upgrade to windows vista 32. So far, our experience is our head is ROTATING and can someone help us?

  First of all, make sure that your PC meets the requirements of Windows 7 - system Windows help

  You can buy Windows 7 from one of the major retailers who still like mainline, new egg, or Tiger Direct - Amazon but none is smaller that that if you want to be sure to get the real and not renovated or eBay!  If in doubt ask here before you buy, read the comments of the sales page for the experience of others.

  Once you have the disc, put it in the drive to make an update install with Windows 7 .  If you have a Vista factory install I would firstly follow these same steps to Clean Up Factory Bloatware that will optimize for a better upgrade.

  If this facility is not satisfactory, then do the vastly superior clean reinstall Windows 7

• 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.

  INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS.

  a. one copy per computer. You can install one copy of the software on a single computer. This computer is "licensed computer.

  b. a computer license. You can use the software on up to two processors of the computer under license at some point. Except as provided in these license terms, you cannot use the software on any other computer.

  c. number of users. Except as provided in these license terms, only one user may use the software at a time.

  d. other Versions. The software may include several versions, such as 32-bit and 64-bit. You may install and use only one version at a time.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

• Office Jet V40: problem with Office Jet V40 after upgrading to 64-bit Windows 10

  I just downloaded Windows 10 64-bit on my Asus laptop and now my Jet V40 of office all-in-one printer will not work correctly.  I tried to download the new drivers for 64-bit Windows 10 several times from the driver of HP downloads site but nothing happened.  I ran the HP print and scan doctor several times and he said I had a problem of correspondence of port, but was not able to resolve the issue after I restarted my laptop.  Help, please.

  Hello @Gator44,

  Welcome to th eHP support forums.

  I appreciate that you try to connect your Officejet v40 to your computer Windows 10.

  When I studied the list of HP printers compatible for Windows 10, the v40 is there.

  HP printers - printers compatible Windows 10

  He recommends the driver from Windows Update. This means that it is is not, or should not be any driver download.

  How to install the OS in Windows and update drivers?

  Go to the HP printers - install and use the print driver built-in Windows for instructions on how to install the Windows driver for your printer and to resolve installation problems.

• 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.
