  • Can I use my Vista 32 bit key for activate Vista 64-bit?

    I want to upgrade my Vista 32 bit OS to 64-bit. My computer came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit pre-installed but I want to run a 64-bit OS so I can enjoy the benefits as the increase in the capacity of RAM. If I can get a copy of a disk of Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I want to know if I can use my OEM key for activate Vista 64-bit, if I had to do a full clean install?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Yes, you can use the same key, but make sure that the installation is performed only once and a 32-bit parallel installation with the same key on other computer should not exist.
    You must perform a clean installation only and upgrade/downgrade cross-architecture (32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa) is not supported.

  • Can we install windows vista 32 bit OS on a computer that is pre installed with windows 7 64-bit OS?

    Can we install windows vista 32 bit OS on a computer that is pre installed with windows 7 64-bit OS?

    @ Ken... I tried installinng windows vista by using the recovery disk that will get a customer with the computer dell laptop... and then he was trying to install vista on my computer... It works fine when installing files, but it is and stucks where he says 'finish installation' and he won't do anything after that... I tried to restart my computer and I could see Microsoft coportation logo and then my computer stucks to this screen and wont connect in... not sure what exactly to do... by the ways for your reply thanks

    You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.
  • Upgrade to Windows 10 erase all files and programs now on my computer, or make it unusable?

    Upgrade to Windows 10 erase all files and programs now on my computer, or make it unusable?  I have since I have not answered on this site, I headed to the computer store, 'Best Buy', to see if their staff or their staff of in-house computer repair people called "Geek Squad" could answer this question.  NONE OF THEM COULD.

    Well up to now, I had a lot of problems with windows 10. Some programs do not work. My wireless guard is disconnected. And when I restored it windows 8.1, my browsers did not work. It's just on a single computer. Others have not yet verified, I'm very satisfied with the situation. He also removed my antivirus program.

    The biggest problem is with the software I paid for and that you do not have a disk to reinstall. WHY - because today ' today, software publishers want you pay every month, and when things like that, go bad, there is no record of re - install the software. I spent hours trying to solve this problem, but until now I'm waiting for Microsoft's online live chat 194 minutes go.

    I would say that they should have ethics applied to developers of software for this kind of things don't happen. How unfair is that they release a product with a ton of bugs simply because developers are too lazy to correct the problems before its release. They must be charged a fine for lack of ethics in programming.

    So to answer your question - so far the files are still there, but has great difficulty with the programs works not as they did. In addition, if go back you to an earlier version of windows, it seems that they made it impossible for previous versions to work as before without having to reinstall all the software you have.

    I'd wait until they have corrected most of the bugs. I'm stuck, but you're not.

    How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7?  It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!

    What happens when you try?  Make sure you drag the icon image and not the text of the name.

    If it still doesn't work there are some registry changes that can try to alleviate the problem.  But because the changes to the registry are tedious and dangerous, I recommend to leave the system to repair it for you.  Here's how:
    1. Type of restore in the search box of the start menu to find and open to restore system files and settings from a restore point.
    2. Click Next, choose a date before the problem started, then click Next once more.
    • This process only takes around 2 minutes and only restores your system files/settings: it will not affect any of your files, documents, photos, emails, or anything else.
    If the system restore does not resolve the problem try this to replace missing or corrupted system files.  Here's how:
    1. Type cmd into the start menu search box, and then press Ctrl-Shift-Enter to launch as administrator.
    2. At the command prompt to start the File System Check, type sfc/scannow .

    I came across the solution. In addition to download creative cloud, I needed to return to the site and download the trials for the programs I want to use - Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did, I was in business. Save bad if this was done in light on the download site.

    Hello

    • Have you tried the suggestions of Imran M in other post?

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1:

    Temporarily disable UAC and check if the problem persists.

    1. open Control Panel.
    2. under the user account and family settings click on the "add user account / remove."
    3. click on one of the user accounts, for example, you can use the guest account.
    4. in the user account, click on the link "go to the main page of the user account.
    5. under "Make changes to your user account", click on the link "change security settings".
    6. in him "turn User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to deselect the "use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer. Click the Ok button.
    7. you will be asked to restart your computer. Do when you're ready.

    Warning: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

    Method 2:
    I recommend the clean boot and try to run the program.

    Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
