W500 windows 32-bit to 64-bit upgrade

Hey guys:

I got a w500 with 4 GB of RAM and windows 7 pro 32-bit installed.

I intend to change my operating system to 64-bit.

I know I have a clean install, but there are a few questions, I don't have the answers to these questions.

what drivers and the Lenovo Applications?

is anyway to change my partition recovery with 64 bit OS too?

should I buy another copy of windows, or can I use the serial number I have with my laptop now?

  • Satellite P300D - 21K: Windows 7 64 bit upgrade level & RAM Upgrade advice

    Hi, I need some advice on upgrading my laptop. My laptop is a:

    Toshiba Satellite P300D - 21K
    Model No.: PSPD0E - 00H003EN

    I think of upgrading to windows 64-bit (lucky students can do that for A £30!) to help speed up my laptop. I use some CAD applications, so 64-bit should help with the speed of these applications. Question:

    (1) are there reasons that someone could advise me not upgrading to 64-bit with my laptop?
    (2) I need to update my RAM at least 4 GB for 64-bit. I currently have 3 gig, so I guess I need to replace my stick of 1 GB with a 2 gig stick? Or did I put a 4 GB stick with my existing 2 gig stick?
    (3) going to upgrade my ram and operating system void my warranty?

    1 in my opinion there is no reason why you should not install version 64-bit OS. Just be sure that all 64-bit drivers are available on the Toshiba support page.
    I imagine at the moment for Win7 drivers are still not available and you have to wait.

    2. According to the specifications of the laptop Satellite P300D - 21 K can handle with 4 GB 2x2gb RAM max is the maximum that you can do about it.
    2 GB compatible RAM has PA3513U-1M2G part number.

  • A6511.uk Pavilion: Pavilion a6511.uk windows 7 64 bit upgrade

    I have improved my a6511.uk Pavilion from Vista to Windows 7 32-bit of the disk to upgrade without problem and been running this for a few years now. I installed 2 additional 1 GB memory DIMM in the slot 3 and 4 to take up to 4 GB, as indicated by both HP and Kingston as a specific system upgrade for this model. The BIOS and windows both report of 4 GB. «The reading of the form of specification of motherboard site HP it is said ' 32-bit PC can not solve a full 4.0 GB memory»

    Although the office comes with Vista 32 bit and I have upgraded to Windows 7 32 bit, the processor is 64-bit, so I have three questions:

    1 will be available the additional 2 GB of memory in the current 32-bit OS (Windows 7 32-bit is asked to use up to 4 GB of RAM), or if I wasted my money with this upgrade?

    2. Windows 7 can be upgraded to 64-bit on this computer (I have the required upgrade disc comes with the 32-bit upgrade disk that works on the same key)?

    3. If I switch to Windows 7 64 bit upgrade tool, I would do this as a pure install or use windows, and the 64-bit system will have drivers to support this machine?

    If the system can run on a 64-bit system, the question is why not with a 64-bit processor Devil!

    Thanks to all those that can help you - the next step is to upgrade the HARD drive for one 240 GB SSD (an another HP/Kingston class upgrade), but I want to get this sorted out first.

    Put in the extra memory for 32-bit OS wouldn't give you much of a performance increase.

    You could install an OS 64 bit Windows 7 on the computer, but drivers can be a challenge that HP has no Win 7 drivers.  Drivers of this thread look like your system can work.  If this isn't the case, we can help you.

    With a Windows 7 64 bit installed you would be able to upgrade your memory up to 8 GB.

    Yes, Windows 7 will be a free upgrade for Windows 10, find out if it will work on your system may not be 100% sure.  I've seen newer computers not being not able to run win 10 Tech Preview and still some elders will be.  Only a Microsoft Upgrade Advisor will tell you, but it is not yet available.  For now see the minimum requirements to win 10.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/preview-FAQ-system-requirements-PC

    Remember you can only switch to Win 10 64-bit only if a prior installed OS was 64-bit.

    If you're feeling adventurous, try to install the win 10 Tech Preview now.

  • Can I do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 32-bit upgrade. Installation file will not work. The error is described below.

    The XPS 730 with Intel Q9450 computer yourself running Windows 7 64 bit? The details of performance show that it is capable of 64-bit. When I try to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit upgrade, the installer will not work. I get an error that reads:

    I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Everything that I read on Microsoft and elsewhere says that you can go from Vista 32 bit to an operating system Windows 7 64-bit as long as you do the clean install. I'm that far away since I can't even run the installation.
    Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem?

    Hi Hal K,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version.

    If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows, and vice versa, you will need to back up your files and then perform a custom of the version of Windows you want to install installation.

  • Change color of Partition Image factory after that Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit upgrade

    I bought the package of Microsoft Family Pack Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit upgrade. I upgraded my HP Pavilion m9525f without problem. However, when I upgraded HP Pavilion Media Center m8547c PC my work wife I noticed that the partition image factory had changed from blue to red. His computer is now slower that it was running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit years she gets blockages requiring restarts.

    I have installed all the software HP upgrade to his computer and deleted all unnecessary programs, run the cleaning program in Accessories, defragmented the drive and ran sfc/scannow, who finds no problems with its operating system files.

    There is a serious problem, indicated by the change of color of partition to factory?

    Hello Archquark, you can delete the partition D: HP Recovery restore and recover this disk capacity.

    If you have the game to restore HP Recovery disk, which you should have done when you've got the system, you can still use them to restore the system back as it was when shipped from HP.

    I, personally, to remove these partitions recovery, because as you said, that they are usually outdated very soon after you get the system, but I wouldn't recommend others that under normal circumstances.

    I don't know why a temp. file was created in your D: Recovery partition.

    Windows 7 installation can be linked to the Vista install, and you will need to have Vista installed in order to perform the upgrade to Windows 7 If you have in the future.

    There are a few different methods that Microsoft and HP use to upgrade to Windows 7.

    I got a system until Windows 7 came out, but with a free Windows 7 upgrade when it was released. I got the Windows 7 upgrade disc and he ran like an upgrade. Later, I had to change the hard drive without an operating system installed and was able to perform a new installation with the provided HP Windows 7 upgrade disk.

    Appears to be a tossup. If you decide to delete the D: Recovery partition, you probably that in the Windows 7 Control Panel Setup, administrative tools, computer management, storage, management records.

    When you get there, just select the D: Recovery partition and select this option to delete the volume.

    Then select the C: partition and choose the volume and it should expand the C: partition to include the ability to partition D: previous.

  • Can I use a key to upgrade Windows 7 32 - bit for the upgrade to Vista 64 - bit, 7 64-bit, with a 64-bit upgrade disc?

    It's a bit complicated, but I appreciate all help.

    I have the following:
    1. access to a genuine copy of Windows Vista 64-bit (regardless of the version I want) through IEEE Computer Society.
    2. a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade disc purchased through a program of student software in 2010. Shortly after using the disk and the key, the laptop I was using died due to hardware problems.
    3. a drive to upgrade Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit bought via the same pattern of student software, including an unused key.
    Student software system only allows users to buy a copy of each version, so I can't buy it simply another copy of the 64-bit version.
    I wonder if it is possible to use the key of the 32-bit version with the version 64-bit upgrade disk to upgrade a 64 bit Windows Vista installation to Windows 7? If this is not the case, unfortunately, I'll be stuck with Vista.

    1 would work Windows 64-bit? My technical skills are a little rusty, but if I found the Windows registration/product key for my installation, I could do a 64 fresh Win 8.1 install using this product key?

    2 does anyone know why they decided to install 32-bit as the default value? Maybe there is a problem with 64 bit? I know that the CPU is 64-bit, so I'm a bit confused why they chose 32-bit.

  • 32-bit to 64-bit upgrade RAM problems

    I recently went from 32 bit to 64 bit of Windows 7 Pro following the 'unofficial' resettlement Wiki (the second time around) to the letter.  Here what's happening: bought two sticks of 4 GB of DDR3 1600 MHz RAM 1.5 volt.  It is fully recognized in BIOS Rev A16. 3.8 GB is used and works perfectly under Windows 32 Bit.  When I attempt to load Windows in 64 bit I get 1) white screen to repair Windows loop - A & B charge 2-BSOD DIMMS when each stick is loaded in DIMM A only.

    The tension is incorrect?  Why these modules work perfectly in 32 bit?  Should I exchange for 1333 MHz to 1.35 volts?  Please notify

    Generally, I would go for Crucial RAM on Dell systems. We find that they sometimes accept always RAM of other providers. In this Crucial case is 1.35v modules:

    They also have PC3-12800 modules that will be the fastest. You can also consider an also however high capacity SSD are still quite expensive.

    I have a Windows 7 64-bit OS, but if I want to upgrade to Windows 10, he'll give me a version 64 bit or 32 bit?

    The free update does not have the ability to switch architectures, so architecture will remain the same. If you want to spend the architectures, you will need to download the 10 window. ISO file in the appropriate architecture (32 or 64 bit) and do a custom installation.

  • Change windows 32-bit to 64-bit 8

    I have examined various questions and answers on a similar theme, but don't think I've seen quite a response.

    I've recently upgraded to Vista 32 bit for windows 32 bit 8 after buying the DVD. However, my processor will support 64-bit operation.
    Can I use the 64-bit disc that came with the dvd to my HARD drive for windows 64 bits 8 upgrade.

    With a product key, you can have a single operating system using this product key.  If you want the 32-bit and 64-bit on the same machine so you will need two product keys.

    When you format the Partition with the 32-bit Windows 8 installed on it, Yes, you would lose all the data on that Partition of 32 bits, including all windows startup files.  However, when you install then the 64-bit in the Partition formatted (hard disk), and if you have the bootable media for installing the 64-bit OS new Boot files are created.

    If you have already used the product key that came with Windows 8, you are more likely to fail the normal Activation of Windows, which means you need to take the option, then provided by Windows, activate by phone.

    Hello world

    I have a new box and installed the new version of Windows 64 bit of Oracle XE 11.2 g on it.

    I need to improve my existing 32-bit of 11.2 g XE base to another box to this 64-bit XE 11.2 g. How is that possible?

    Would be very happy to advice on that!

    The x 64 update is a delicate, not an easy chore for beginners or even novice, short answer, as usual, "it depends."

    For example. If the source instance use NVARCHAR/NCHAR data types, there are a few additional steps. The JVM has also a few additional steps that must be added to the mix, and an instance of hosted windows also adds a touch or two.

    Bottom line, for an instance of database less size of 11G as Xe, datapump would be the path suggested. It can work for large instances of too, but the quote "any place is nearby, if you have the time" (Wright, s., 198?) comes to mind when you look at an expdp of large databases. See Overview of Oracle Data Pump sound quite a powerful tool and therefore a little complex as well. But since you have two installs separate from the RDBMS, take a cold backup of the (x 64) target (stop, copy, controlfile (s) data files somewhere safe) and take a picture. And be ready to use these backup files, things do not always exactly as planned.

    Upgrade book complete 11 GR 2 has a section for x 64 update, Introduction to the process of upgrading to Oracle database one glance, it might be useful to do an upgrade of x 86 - x 64.
