  • Re: Upgrade Vista 32 bit to Windows 7

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

  • Upgrade Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64-bit

    I'm currently under that Vista Ultimate 32 bit provided with my Dell laptop. I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit and wonder if I can do that with a purchase of upgrade of the product, or if I have to buy a full version.  Dell has had little help and Microsoft won't help me either that the original Vista was provided by Dell.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm sorry that you don't like the links. You must do a clean install ("custom") from an OS 32-bit to a 64 bit OS. There are ways to use a version upgrade from Win7 to do a clean install. You will have to Google for them (and unfortunately will get involved links) or ask on a forum non-Microsoft. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    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.

    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:

  • Windows Vista 64-bit of Windows 7 32-bit update?

    G ' Day,.

    I've seen a lot of Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit upgrade questions, but that the opposite?
    I just moved houses, and I think I lost my CD of 32-bit of Windows Vista, but I found my 64-bit of Windows Vista CD and I am wanting to buy Windows 7 Uprade but only to install the 32-bit version.

    You can do in the modernization of the place of Windows 64-bit to 32-bit Windows, and vice versa. Its a clean install only. I suggest that you use the Windows Easy Transfer utility included on the DVD of Windows 7 to create a backup your personal files.

  • Can I upgrade Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows Vista 64 - Bit and preserve everything?

    I have a computer with Windows Vista 32 - Bit OS.  I have also 4 GB of RAM, but as the OS is 32-bit, he acknowledges that 3 out of 4 GB.  So, my question is, can I upgrade to a version 64 bit Vista and preserve files and programs, or what I have to buy a copy of Windows Vista 64-bit?

    Thank you

    Hello.

    No.; You cannot switch from 32-bit to 64-bit.

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

    There has never been a way to upgrade.

    You should backup your data, copy it into the 64 bit OS and reinstall all your programs

    Microsoft sells more than Vista.

    And before you buy Windows 7:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

  • 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

    Robert

    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.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    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.

    That's why we're always checking the availability of compatible devices

  • Upgrade to Vista 64 - bit of Windows 7 64 bit, while maintaining the recovery partition

    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit HP HP 64-bit of Windows Vista, but I want to assure you that I keep my recovery partition, just in case I want to come back to my original configuration. It is very important to me since the thumbnail with the original Vista product key is no longer legible.

    When upgrading to a new version, Windows 7 will affect only the system partition where Windows Vista is installed. Recovery partitions would be unaffected.

    Just be sure you can do a backup:
