Upgrade to Win 7 32 bit to Win 7 64 bit

A few years back, I bought a Win 7 upgrade pack who had licenses for three computers.  The upgrades were available as 32-bit or 64-bit.  I have now updated three of my XP computers and make them all running and enabled.  Unfortunately, by mistake I made one a 32-bit improvements.  I would like to correct this and reinstall as a 64-bit (as I contemplate the possibility of a Win 10 update).

My concern is try a new installation of 64-bit on 32-bit installation will result in denial of activation as this can be considered a fourth facility of a three license upgrade pack.  Can someone clarify this before I attempt an upgrade?

Thank you

You're still allowed to clean reinstall Windows 7 as often as you want and always re-enable generally without special measures because the material is already associated with this product key, but even if not you can migrate to Windows 7 at retail to any other PC whenever you want as long as it's only on (in the case of Family Pack) 3 PCs at a time.

If you have problems with Activation, open a command prompt, type slui 4, then press ENTER, follow the prompts to re-activate that refreshes the the hardware ID in the Activation of MS. servers  If it detects possible installation of additional hardware device it will ask the key question "PC how much this copy is installed on?" to which in your case, you can answer only up to 3.  This gives permission to MS to disable it on any PC excesses that do not already have their signature of material recorded for this product key in their servers.

If for some reason, this fails, stay on the line for the activating agent and explain your situation.  Normally this solve the problems, but if not Service the customer is responsible to ensure that a valid key gets all its due installs and will open a case of support to ensure that this happens.  If this is not the case, let us know here.

    Hi, John. It's quite nervous of a member of the MS forum say that Dell is responsible to operate Windows. It wasn't Dell but MS who claims that Win10 has most of the necessary drivers and if not then the drivers Win7 and Win8.1 would work.

    johnsdagg
    I was hoping that maybe Dell could find in the goodness of their hearts to a updated driver IDT 92HDxxx... pretty please?

    I doubt that it is possible for two reasons. Dell went from IDT Realtek as the audio seller so probably not more a a contract with IDT, if IDT even exist anymore. A year ago IDT was acquired by another company. I do not know its current status, but it is sure that the acquiring company will not be upgrading old software IDT. Reference Dell itself does not write the audio drivers. Even when IDT was the seller I believe that Win7 drivers are the final versions - no version 8 or 8.1 I think.

    If I use the built-in driver to Win 10 ("high definition Audio Device") I hear speakers/headphones and switching between the speakers and the works of helmet very well but my laptop computer microphone does not work ("not connected").

    The native Windows audio driver can't stand struggling external mic. It is a MS 'known problem '. MS must implement a decision-making support, but there is no indication that it will be. Meanwhile, you have two workaround solutions. You can switch backwards between the natives and the IDT drivers. At some point Win10 could leave the IDT driver works correctly. Or get an outlet cheap usb audio to the microphone. Struggling running out-audio driver usb Windows native usb and so dependent no driver IDT.

  • How to get windows 7 ISO for computer laptop w/win 7 preinstalled, upgrade to win 10 in July, recently replace HD / reinstalled win 10

    Dell Inspiron N5010, windows 7-64 bit preinstalled when you purchase. one of the first free updates for windows 10 in July. recently replaced (fatal) of hard drive and reinstalled windows 10. I'm trying to get an ISO of windows 7.  This has proved to be quite difficult. my attempt to replace my hard drive using the old product key failed because the site does not accept the keys to the pre-installed versions.  If I understand it well in an article I read it says that when I upgraded to win 7 to win 10 product key remained the same. However, when my hard drive has been replaced and windows re-installed 10 this product key has been replaced with a digital license.  I have 3, possibly 4 questions: 1) has my product key now a digital license? 2.) If Yes, this digital license can be used for windows 7 ISO? If Yes, where can I find the digital license? (4.) If none of the above, any suggestions how I can get a copy of windows 7 Iso? I am very frustrated and ideas.

    Thanks VeeW

    When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or get a new PC preinstalled with Windows 10, what has happened is that the hardware (your PC) will get a digital right, a unique signature of the computer which is stored on the Microsoft Activation servers. The real Windows 7 or Windows 8 license you were using previously will be exchanged with a key to the diagnosis.

    Whenever you need to reinstall Windows 10 on this machine, go just to reinstall Windows 10. It automatically reactivates.

    Therefore, there is no need to know or get a product key, if you must reinstall Windows 10, you can use your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key or use the reset function in Windows 10.

    If you are prompted to enter a product key, click on "I don't have a key" and "do it later".

    Even when you switch to Windows 10, you can return to Windows 7 at any time. Get Windows 7 reinstall media will be dependent on certain factors.

  • Can I install the upgrade to win 8 as a dual boot with Windows 7?

    I bought and downloaded but not installed upgrading Windows 8 Pro, I'm currently under Win 7 64. The upgrade wizard Win gave the choice to install now, install by creating media or install at a later time from your desktop.  I chose the latter, and the Windows Installer shortcut is now on the desktop. I have learned since that a dual-boot Win 8 cannot happen if installed by Windows.

    This upgrade version allows you to dual boot? (I have a few apps that apparently do not run in Win 8)

    It can dualboot (as long as you create the DVD drive with the installation files. But to install the Windows 8 Pro upgrade, the score should have a previous version of qualification of Windows (XP, Vista or Windows 7). The version recommended if you want to dualboot is the full OEM version:

    Buy a full version of Windows 8

    If you want to build your own PC and install Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro or an additional operating system running in a virtual machine or a separate partition (including a Mac), you can buy Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro System Builder (OEM versions). If available in your country or region, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder products can be purchased at participating stores, you will need to ask a the sales representative for more information. This version does not support the customer.

    There is no full retail version of Windows 8. If you need a full version, you will need to purchase the Pro OEM Windows 8 of new eggs. To do this, install an own custom.

  • Installation upgrade to Win 7 Pro 64 Full

    I have a PC (can call PC - 1) with Vista installed. I've upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and all sorts of problems.

    I bought a copy of OEM Win 7 Pro 64 and install it on a new hard drive on this PC-1. He works very, very well. So far, I'm very happy.

    The old hard drive on PC - 1 is out of the computer in a shelf with no use. He has my Windows 7 Pro upgrade in it.

    I bought a brand new similar (PC-2) computer and a new hard disc, so now I have:

    -PC-1 with a new drive hard and nine OEM win 7 64 bit install and works perfectly... and

    -PC-2 with a new hard drive in which I tried to install my (legal) original of the upgrade to Win 7 Pro 64, but I didn't want to not install Vista first, because I'm having the same problems that I had in the first place, so I install as a full version. At the point where he asks me my product key that I copied from the sticker in the present case, he tells me is not a valid product key.

    What should I do to use this copy of Windows 7 Pro in my new hard drive, but do not install Vista first?

    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.

    You can not install the upgrades on a blank disc.

  • HP 450-011: delete the recovery partition after upgrade to win 10?

    I have a new HP 450-011 and it came with Win 8.1 and the recovery with the letter D: drive partition.  I did the upgrade to windows 10.  I made a set of recovery DVD for win installation 8.1.  Is there a reason for me not to delete the D: drive and replace it with my information?  I seriously doubt I'll want to roll back to 8.1 Win.

    Greetings,

    Have you tested the Win 8.1 HP Recovery disks before installing Win 10?

    A question is: If you need technical assistance from HP tech for a possible hardware problem. HP normally requires that the factory installed operating system to take in charge. This policy of HP may have changed during the upgrade to win 10. I do not suspect.

    You can export the recovery, Partition because it will not work now in any case.

    But you need a way to go back to win 8.1 when you need HP warranty support.

    Since you have already upgraded to Win 10, the only way to check the recovery of 8.1 Win disks is to use them and start all over again. Or the support of disks/USB recovery HP Win 8.1 on a new equivalent or larger HDD or SSD. A good installation means that you have now the factory install on this disk.

    It's a lot of work.

    The problem of guaranteed support is your problem.

    I have eliminated this problem by installing Win 10 on a new SSD. I have HP Win 8.1 on a separate SSD and win 10 on a different SSD. Possible guarantee problem solution means earn 8.1 running on HP SSD factory to check the problem of winning 10 SSD.

  • Blue screen after upgrading to Win 8.1 - Satellite C850 - 17G

    A year ago, I bought a Satellite C850 - 17 G (PSKCCE) with Windows 7 pre-installed. For a small fee, I upgraded to Win 8. Worked well.

    In November 2013, I wanted to do the free update to Win8.1. There I estimated at 2.5 months and a lot of reading on the forums to complete the upgrade to 8.1 Win. Everything worked fine for about 3 weeks.

    Can I get some updated windows up-to-date pressed, restarted the laptop and it ended the history of success.
    Blue screen and I had this option was to force back to the factory settings.
    So here I am again with Windows 7.

    On the Toshiba site, I see now that my model of laptop, Satellite C850 with part No. PSKCCE is not a model of support for the update 8.1 Win. Can someone tell me why?

    It will support in the future?

    > On the Toshiba site, I see now that my model of laptop, Satellite C850 with part No. PSKCCE is not a model of support for the update 8.1 Win

    Hmm, I guess you're wrong because on the Toshiba UE driver page I could find drivers Windows 8.1 for the Satellite C850 PSKCCE
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    BSOD issues are really bothersome, because this can happen due to hardware malfunction or also due to problems of system or driver.
    Same 3rd party software could affect systems

    That's why it very difficult to say what might cause this problem without checks unique pieces, the pilot, and the reporting system.

  • HP Envy M6: My HARD drive is not bad on my computer? I have reloaded Win 8 and upgraded to Win 8.1 but he keeps crashing

    Hi need help and answers from an expert!

    My HP Envy M6 Recenly has stopped working correctly, so I decided to recover as soon as possible.  She still had the same problems, so I decided to restore factory with recovery USB flash drive I did.  Always had the same problem happens after I rebooted 8 Win and improved to 8.1.  It would work for a few minutes and stop working I used chkdsk and it says it fixed a few problems with the drive.

    I went through the same steps another 3 times!  After each time that once I had that he would be running again after a clean reinstall.  I would like to run chkdsk and it looks like he fixed some error, but last time, it wouldn't or couldn't find some files to run and crashed.  I tried loading Acronis and tried to reinstall the backup from there but that also failed to correct the problem.  I came to the conclusion that my HD is physically wrong?

    I guess the recovery process would reformat the partitions before you reinstall so it's not a logic error (software)?  From the recovery partition, the recovery Flash disk media and recovery software acronis can fix this, I can only assume, there is a problem with the drive itself?

    Is there a way to check this?  I don't mind replacing the drive to a SSD, so this isn't a problem, but I can't seem to find a product key.  Nothing printed on the bottom.  I read somewhere that it is now integrated with the motherboard bios so can I just use the recovery media that I did on a flash drive?

    Also, I have my backup file but I could never find the location of the image my wife loaded as the photo of "lock" screen which I do not have a copy of.  I have the backup files for windows 8.1 by Acronis and according to me, a Windows backup file on a backup drive, but I was wondering if these "locked screen hidden image" would be held somewhere in these data?  It is not under the images and I have never been able to find or understand where windows keeps this image.  I used the search without success.

    Of course, this is not critical, but I hate losing this particular image.  I hope it's keep somewhere in my back upward and when restoring with a new drive hard I can reload the backup and restore.

    So I really ned knowledge step by step: my HD is bad?  How can I check without having to spend hours to reload only to fail?

    Why chkdisk does not?  Or should I simply replace HD and if so what can I use the new disk recovery media and product ID will be accessible through the motherboard?

    I intend to upgrade to win 10, but I need Win 8 loading first, then move to 8.1 then move to Win 10?  Also in the future if it crashes how can I recover to win 10? Since it is free now but will not be later.  The upgrade will allow me to make a copy (a copy) to win 10?

    A lot of questions, but please provide the fastest solution to my problems and concerns.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello fmhawaii ;

    I read your post on your PC crashing and wanted to help.

    It certainly seems that your hard drive has failed.  Some PC allows the drive to check in the BIOS: test a hard drive in the BIOS. HP® customer support

    If that confirms that the disc is bad, then you will need to replace it.

    As for activation, you are right in that, with Win8x machines, the product key is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware, however, the instructions in this link, show you how to recover: find product - key for Windows 8

    When you restore from recovery media, which is supposed to automatically read product key, so you will not have to enter something to activate reinstall it.  My guess is that the drive problems that prevented from happening.

    Acronis allows you to mount an image file by using a drive letter, and once you do this, you should then be able to browse through the content to find the file you want.  However, depending on what part of the logon icon changed, it might be embedded image in a Windows system file, and unless there is a separate copy of this image, it will be very difficult to recover.  IF you Google it, you might be able to find downloadable tools for disassembly of this file and subseuent extraction of this file.

    I wouldn't hurry to Win10, but if you choose to follow this path, don't forget to make a new advance Acronis backup, then you can return to a system of Win8x of work if something is wrong - as the Win10 GoBack function is known to be unreliable.

    Good luck

    I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.
