• How to install Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit?

  Hello! Can someone tell me how can I make Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to 64-bit?

  Here's my question: -.

  1. I bought a version of Windows Vista Edition retail family Premium, the package has only the 32-bit support (DVD). I found a few website say that the product key for the retail version of Windows is for 32-bit and 64-bit, as long as we use 32 - bit or 64 - bit on a single computer at a time. If I'm wrong, anyone could answer my question?

  2. now, I plan to move from 32 bit to 64 bit, my problem is that the version sold at retail of Windows that I purchased only contain 32-bit media:-

  (a) is there a way I could install the 64-bit Windows?

  (b) is it possible I could get 64-bit support?

  (c) could I use media in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit retail a friend to install on my computer? And after installation, I can activate Windows with my product key?

  Looking forward to the responses, thank you.

  Link above is how you get 64 bit DVD, if you have a retail license.

  You can use any Microsoft Vista 64-bit DVD and use your 32 bit key as you say it's Vista Retail

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

  I have a laptop Dell Insperion 1501 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I tested the ram and hard drive and they check well. I deleted the C partition, formatted the drive with the dell windows vista disk and reinstalled vista. Then I tried to download the updates of windows, but when I click on any button for example, the Start button, it flashes opening and closing in a fraction of a second. Also, when it starts, he won't on the desktop unless I have a key on the keyboard, any key.  I can't seem to update of the bios at the moment is still as dell reference years ago. No error messages or bios beeps. I was able to install all the drivers on the driver disk but can not get updates. This also happens in safe mode. Any suggestions? Thank you.

  Guess what! It is the keyboard that was causing the problem. I disconnected and used a USB one and it works normally. I guess her grandchildren or the cat must have stuck a key on the Board. When the computer is off, lightly rub your palm on the keys to reset.

• I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit: can I switch to a 64 bit OS and keep the same apps, hardware and software, I already have?

  I have a system of 3 GB/500 GB HD in Inspiron 530 Dell, Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  I need to restart more frequently and the system works more slower and slower... so I think the upgrade.  Can I move to a 64 bit OS in Windows 7 or 8 and keep the same hardware and software, applications that I already like Office 2007, Photoshop Elements, etc... ?  What are the benefits to 64-bit?

  Hello

  There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.

  It should be down with a clean install.

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

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

• Can I use the existing Windows vista ultimate 32-bit (real) key to do a fresh install (due to errors of unrecognized class) win vista home premium 32 bit (original cd)?

  Inspiron Dell 1720 2.2 GHz, 2 GB ram, Win Vista ultimate SP2.

  Cannot install all programs currently due to errors of windows install. I have tried scannow in cmd which seems to close automatically in less than a second to click on enter.
  I tried switching win installer services then in manual and automatic ('start' ed) with no ruling change ever to the problem. So now since I can't possibly find another solution, I'm doing a new installation of windows vista Home premium 32-bit which I did not have the keys. So the query. I would appreciate any comment how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

  Look at the product key shown on the label on the computer.  Which edition of Windows is on the label?  If the label says Home Premium Home Premium dvd is likely a recovery disk only.  So if there is a recovery disk, so it can reinstall a new copy of Home Premium and all reset the status of the plant.  You will lose your programs and data.

  If the Premium family edition dvd is a dvd retail then you may be able to do a repair on-site modernization (aka ' install fix') of Vista Ultimate with it, but please answer these questions first.

• Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit of Validation. Can't I just buy a no serial online?

  Last year I had a Dell XPS with Vista Home Premium 64-bit pre-installed. Since then, I've changed over the entire computer with the exception of the still installed with Vista boot drive. Now, the system tells me the software is invalid, and it must be validated.

  I realize as OEM OS' are is not supported, but why can't I just buy a new serial of MS no? Does this mean I have to buy Windows 7 since Vista isn't the case to buy more?

  Thank you

  -Mario

  Hello Mario,

  I suggest that you contact Dell. Software OEMS is pre-activated and assistance is the responsibility of the OEM - in your Dell case. Explain to them what happened and they should be able to help.

  By 'Validate', I assume you mean 'enable '. Have you actually tried activating the software to see if it will turn on? If you have tried to enable you get a message saying that the "product key is already in use"? If so, take a look at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  You may also like to telephone line (free in most countries) activation by following the instructions in the article above. Explain to them your problem and they may general counsel.

  There is no product keys, they must be purchased with physical media, that is, the Vista DVD. Don't try to buy one on EBay or places like that because they are usually pirated copies and the product key would have been blocked by Microsoft, so you will be in the same boat as you are now.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Reinstall Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2

  Not good with computers... need help... very much appreciated... I ran into the horrible black screen problem... I can't start in safe mode, no problem, but can only access via the normal and Task Manager normal mode still doesn't work well... internet and other programs will not work... I tried many options and now looking to do a reinstall of Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2

  Question is how can I do reinstall without deleting all my personal files? Is this possible? If Yes, how should I do it... as very detailed information is appreciated as I'm not tech savy... Also, if it is not possible, what is your recommendation to save my files before reinstalling? External hard drive?

  I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you!

  A resettlement removes all the info.

  If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Random disconnects Internet, Sony VAIO, Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  I'm on a desktop VAIO with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit, connection to the internet through a linksys wireless router. Although all of the other computers in my house connects perfectly (two macbooks, an Asus laptop, an xbox 360, a desktop Dell computer), this computer constantly disconnects, usually when it has not been used for a few hours or more.  It seems to happen when the computer enters mode 'sleep', but I don't know yet.  What happens is the small internet icon in the lower right shows a yellow exclamation mark above her symbol and indicates that the computer has limited connectivity (it's less than 30 feet from the router and the mac just beside it works perfectly).  Other times, it seems to be entirely connected, but there is no internet access.  The only way to solve this problem is to restart the computer, or, as I discovered it recently, "diagnose and repair" and choose "reset the adapter" to solve the problem.  It's a minor annoyance until I have start downloading large files, during which I pray that the computer remains connected.

  ·                         Go to the website of the manufacturer of your router > make sure you have the latest Firmware in Vista for it.

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for it last network adapters Vista drivers > download/install the.

  Try without commitment TCP/IPv6:

  If you still have internet connection probs, one thing to try is the separation of the TCP/IPv6 (which is done by going to network connection > right click > properties > it uncheck > OK.)
