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.

Otherwise, you can download a backup copy at the following link and use the same product key that allows you to enable the 32-bit version. Its a possibility, you may need to reactivate by phone, see below for instructions:

(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.

• 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.

• Satellite A500 overheating after upgrade to 64-bit windows

  Hey,.

  I just upgraded to 64-bit and my GPU temperature was very high, around 60 degrees Celsius. When I start a game, it goes up to 107. When I had 32-bit running that I never had this problem, I could play a game without the laptop computer overheating. I thought at first it was a problem with the drivers, or that im missing something.
  I've updated the bios, every other driver that I could find for my laptop computer and repeatable reinstalled the drivers for video card without change.
  Now, I tried to find how to change the fan settings, I noticed the fan starts to run fast enough to hear at 55ish degrees and I want to decrease the aswells parameter to increase the speed of the fan.
  I tried Speedfan, and like 5 other programs where none of them worked.
  I'm also afraid if I just reinstall 32 bits that I'm having the same problem, because there might be some kind of driver or utility, that I lost in the format.

  Is there a way I can fix this? Is there a Toshiba utility or something that I might have missed?
  The A500 is not compatible with 64 bit? The settings of the fan can be changed?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi S RAGAN,

  I suggest to perform the clean boot on your computer and check.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  To perform a clean boot on a computer, follow these steps.

  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

  5. click on OK.

  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  Please follow the system in the boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to an application or a service, we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG tool again to reactivate the disabled one by one element to find the culprit.

  If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 . In addition, see the section on how to restore your computer to a Normal startup mode.

• How can I upgrade Vista 32 bit to Vista 64 bit on a Sony laptop?

  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.

  (I like to keep all my installed Sony devices & drivers more bits & bats).
  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:
