  Original title: Upgrade Vista 32-bit

  Buy a disc to update my pc using windows vista 32-bit. The disc has 4 netfx files. installation package I tried and get message asking me to install a setup of .NET Framework 1.1. Only having the disc I bought to upgrade. Help please.

  Exactly where did you buy this drive?

  The installer of Windows 7 should not be prompted to install the .NET Framework.

  Try to download the installation media of Windows 7 since Microsoft Software download page or follow any other instructions to get the media to install Windows 7 32-bit:

  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.

  Hi there; Please tell me how I can upgrade Vista 32 Bit to 64 bit Vista on a Sony laptop?
  Without having to install a new 64-bit version and then I lose my Sony laptop platform,.

  that would prevent me from making the web.

  The disc tells me that the upgrade function is grayed out and pass through the windows!

  But does that mean?

  Peut-there please help me someone?
  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit; they are different operating systems.

  It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

  First thing to do is to check with Sony to see if 64-bit drivers are available for your machine:

• Upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit in earlier upgrade Vista 32 bit OEM

  I have searched this forum for an answer to my qusetion below but can't find descriobe my script, I hope someone here can help me understand if my upgrade is viable before you start along backup and the resettlement process.

  I bought my PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit OEM.

  When Windows 7 was launched I purchsaed the upgrade to Home Premium disc which included 32-bit and 64-bit.

  At the time many applications that I used was not compatible 64 bit so I simply upgrded to Windows 7 32 bit, I activated and have used since.

  I am now find my system a bit slow and the most cost-effective upgrade would be to increase my ram from 2 GB to 8 GB, but only if I can also move to 64-bit.

  What I read in other posts, the upgrade disks I have purchsed enabled me to move from 32-bit Vista either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.

  My qusetion is:-

  Having already made the choice to upgrade my Vista 32 bit OEM for Windows 7 32 bit and activated this version, I can now reinstall using the same product keys but this time using the 64-bit installation disk?

  I hope I'm not alone here, and others will be tried this and can therefore confirm the result.

  Kind regards

  You can use the key to existing product that you originally used to install and activate the Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit.

  Installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit will not necessarily make your computer faster however.

  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.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7

  For information about how to modify your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, see the following tutorial:

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

  

  Once your computer is configured to boot from the DVD, you should see this option.

  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.

  Dear Sirs
  I need your support that how I'll upgrade 32-bit to Windows 7 from Vista.

• Upgrade Vista 32-bit, Vista 64-bit

  I recently "inherited" an Acer Aspire 5100 TravelMate a member of the family.  I had a lot of luck with Acer laptops in the past, so I thought I couldn't go wrong with this one.  So far, so good (great, actually).

  My question/quandry: this system came originally with the 32-bit version of Windows Vista.  For many reasons, I did a clean install with Vista Ultimate 64-bit upgrade.  Rockin '!  However, there are at least two relatively minor problems that I can't find solutions to the.  FIRST: the integrated mouse pads.  I can't turn it off when a USB mouse is detected as I can't find the drivers and Synaptics software for this computer only for the 64 bit version of Windows Vista.  Any suggestions?  SECOND: the ATI xpress 1100 graphic card flake.  Same problem as with the built-in mouse pad.  Once again, any suggestions?

  No mspot, here will be fine

  The symptoms you describe sounds more like a hardware problem, or the graphics chip or motherboard. It is not likely to be the the BIOS update - usually your laptop would not start!

• Upgrade Vista 32 - bit to 7-64 bit

  I pre-ordered the windows 7 home premium upgrade and know that it comes with 32-bit and 64-bit versions. My computer is running an OEM version of windows vista edition Home premium 32-bit (which came with my computer). My question is if I can move to the 64 bit version of windows 7 with the disc "upgrade"? Thank you.

  As long as your system meets the hardware requirements, you can use 32-bit or 64-bit when you upgrade.  You want to change to 64 - bit, however, if you perform a custom installation.  This means that none of your programs and your settings will be carried over, and you will need to reinstall your software and adjust your personal settings.  An upgraded on-site, bring all your programs and settings forward, should you stay at 32-bit.

• Re: Satellite A300-1EI PSAGCE - need to Vista 64-bit drivers

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite A300 - 1EI PSAGCE, which by default comes with Windows Vista Home Premium.

  I intend to upgrade the operating system to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but I am not able to find the drivers for vista 64 bit from Toshiba Web sites. When buying the laptop, I had asked expressly the Toshiba seller if I can move on to the final and he convinced me that I can.

  _Kindly provide a link to download the drivers for 64 bit for A300-1EI_.

  Please notify.

  Kind regards
  Adil

  You asked to you can upgrade Vista 64-bit operating system and sellers said yes.
  Well, of course, you can install the 64-bit Vista. You can also install W2k or WinME you can install everything but the question is whether you will be able to find the drivers.

  The point is that this is a new series of mobile at the moment and I think that the derivers 64 bit of Vista will be released in next time
  So, either you will wait until these drivers will be available on the Toshiba site or you try to collect the drivers and own hand.
