  I have a toshiba satellite running a 32-bit vista. I got the upgrade windows 7 toshiba drive which contained both 32 and 64-bit. When I did a clean install of windows 7 it installed 32-bit. It gives me an option to install the 64-bit. Is it possible to install windows 7 64 bit?

  Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit are on a separate disk, they are not both on a single disc.

• Want to downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP but do not have a key. Please provide one.

  Vita windows downgrade to windows xp

  I have Windows Vista (window professional vista OEMAct) so I want to Downgrade to Windows XP Vita, please provide GOLD key of Windows XP guide

  You cannot "downgrade".  The only way to switch to XP is to install XP to clean.  Before you anything make sure that XP drivers are available from the manufacturer of your computer.  If this isn't the case, stick with Vista.

  Vista downgrade rights ended when Vista was removed from retail sales.  In any case, they were available from the computer manufacturers.

  Nobody is going to provide you with a XP product key.  The only way to get a XP product key is to buy XP.

  If you have a software, you need to run under XP, you can do so by using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.  However, you must provide your own copy of XP, including a product key.

  Hi Marionneedshelpplease,

  There should not be any problem in upgrading and switching of the operating system. Please go through this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l

  If you want to upgrade to CS5.5 or CS6 MAC CS5 Win, you can do. Its called Cross-platform upgrade.

  But as mentioned Bob, you should contact adobe for this. It can be done online from the adobe Web site.

  For the best support, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to solve the problem you described.

• Impossible to upgrade to windows vista ultimate from vista home Basic using the upgrade disc

  I bought a disc "to upgrade use only" Windows Vista Ultimate at my University and tried to upgrade my current version of Windows (Vista Home Basic).

  At the stage where I had to select the 'Upgrade' or 'Custom' installation option, I noticed that the interface was telling me, 'Upgrade Disabled"with a message that has been along the line"this version of windows is already installed and cannot be upgraded."
  I know that the upgrade disc was probably intended for the upgrade from an earlier version of Windows like XP, but I assumed that because Microsoft also sells discs "Anytime Upgrade" to do exactly what I'm trying to accomplish this I would have had no problem.
  For any help or suggestion that contact would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you in advance.

  It's all about Service Pack.
  We don't know what you have.

  If Service Packs came pre-installed on the operating system, there is no way to uninstall them.
  You will need to swap the disk to upgrade to a later version that includes the missing Service Pack.

  In this case, your upgrade disk has NO Service Pack installed with it.

  Take it back to the University, if you cannot uninstall SP1 operating system.

  See you soon... Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

• New upgrade of Windows 7 using the upgrade disc

  Hello

  I have some annoying problems which suggests that I should reinstall W7.

  History:-Toshiba laptop purchased with Vista Home Premium includes a recovery disk. Upgrade to W7 Home Premium 32 bit (now in SP1) from a purchased upgrade disk. Everything is OK and all files etc works OK after using the easy transfer. Now, after 3 1/2 years in this State, the problems (which include backup, IE, blue screen, heavy CPU usage) worsen.

  So: - can I re - pass using the same upgrade disc in order not to destroy my files and settings, drivers, etc?

  I am aware that I could do a clean install using upgrade disk (that's the only option I found answers to the community) but things are not so bad as I want the agro to do at this point. My concern is that Qualification record cannot accept the same existing software with the same product key valid.

  All advice would be welcome.

  Thank you, David.

  Hello David,.

  Thank you for your response.

  When you repair Windows 7 or upgrade site, your programs will remain installed. Not to cause suffering.

  Note: I strongly recommend to back up all your important files and folders on an external storage device before performing any type of repair operating system or upgrade.

  Thank you

• Want to downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7 on my g7-2325dx Notebook Pavilion

  
  

  Hello:

  First of all, make your W8 recovery media set before installing W7 64-bit.  See the information below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03481733

  Then, you must change a bios setting to install and continue to run W7 on your PC. See info below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03736054

  Once Windows 7 installed...

  First install the Chipset Driver AMD.  You want the 49.7 MB file.

  http://support.AMD.com/en-us/download/chipset?OS=Windows 7-64

  After you install the AMD chipset driver, you can use most of the W7 x 64 drivers for this model, except the wireless.

  DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK

  I don't know what model of laptop wireless card has, then please do so that I can post the driver for the wireless card.

  Or you can look in the category of network adapters in Windows 8 Device Manager and validate the model now.

  Go to Device Manager and click on the network controller needing drivers.

  Then click on the Details tab at the top of the control of the network window.

  Now, you see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the Description of the unit.

  Drop down on it and select the second item in the list (Hardware ID).

• I want to downgrade from windows 7 to windows Xp sp3

  I have win 7 32 bit & need to downgrade win xp sp3 pls help

  Usually, there is no method of downgrading to XP.  You will need to "reformat" the computer with Windows XP.

  Please note: you must first locate all the possible drivers of Windows XP you will need to: 'this computer', if they all are!

  I have serious problems with my new laptop Portege Z930-138. I wanted to downgrade from Win8 to Win7 and transferred my old iso of Win7 on a bootable USB.

  I changed the BIOSsetting CMS BIOS in order to boot from USB and it worked.

• Satellite C850D - Downgrade from Windows 8

  I have a Satellite C850D, which was shipped with Windows 8. I want this downgrade to Windows 7. I have a Windows 7 DVD, but when I try and install it I get is an error message indicating that there is an error with one of the startup files.

  Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a computer that came with Windows 8, and how to remove the OEM of Windows 8 version and replace it with Windows 7.

  Any help/advice would be appreciated.

  Sean

  Hi Sean

  Yes, it is possible to install Windows 7 and other systems. But this requires some changes in the BIOS.
  You must disable secure boot and go the CSM UEFI.
  As far as I know after changing two options, you should be able to boot from the Windows disc.

• Downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows Vista

  Hello

  I want to ask something about the downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows Vista Edition Home Premium!

  My laptop is Satellite L510. When I bought it, it came with Windows Vista Home Premium as its OS so I already created a recovery disk.
  Now, if I update to Windows 7 and if I want to downgrade to window Vista... often I just use this recovery disc to format to Windows Vista everything as before?

  Because they do not have the Windows Vista installation disk when I bought this laptop.
  And I want to ask now the window Vista already got a healthy recovery partition in my right HDdrive? If I update to Windows 7 then did the Window Vista healthy recovery partition is still there, or only the restore disc that I create before you reformat Windows Vista Home Premium box?

  Thanks to all who try to answer my question!

  All new laptops are shipped without DVD upgraders and everyone must create one. This is why Toshiba has designed small Creator called Toshiba Recovery tool. With this tool you can create recovery DVDs and use them for the installation of the OS more far.

  Whenever when you use, you'll have to factory settings and it will be like on the first day when launch you for the first time.

  When you have this recovery media, you can do whatever you want and, of course, install Win7 with HARD drive. One day, when you want to have Vista again just use created recovery DVD and you will have factory again.

  When you bought your laptop recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDRecovery. This image can be used to install Vista with the factory only settings. When you install Win7 these files can no longer be used and Vista must be installed from recovery created DVDs.

• Pavilion laptop laptop 15-ab158nb: downgrade from windows 10 for windows 7

  Hello, I bought a laptop for computer laptop 15-ab158nb with 10 windows installed

  I like windows7 more (I'm used to) and you want to downgrade to windows 7

  I am looking for the hp support site and they only drivers for windows 10

  -that someone tried this with success

  Thank you

  Rudi

  Before you change or change anything, please create your personal HP recovery media.

  You'll need a new copy of Windows 7 64-bit with a Microsoft COA and a figure of 25 unused/valid key PID from Microsoft. Windows 7 DVD may not work properly on UEFI-based systems, this is why you may need to create a FAT32 UEFI USB Windows 7 for Windows 7 installation key to install correctly.

  You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  After you save the changes, the computer may ask that you confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

  

  After installing Windows 7, you will need to install any drivers necessary before being fully functional. Most of the Windows 7 drivers on the page of software and the driver HP Pavilion Notebook-15z ab000 CTO - should work on your computer. Please do not use any BIOS or Firmware from this page.

  Thanks for posting (text only) Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" for all the remaining of the missing and/or unknown devices, as shown in the example below, and we can direct you to the correct drivers.

  

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Pavilion 15-AB044SA: Downgrade from Windows 8.1 to windows 7 on HP Pavilion 15-AB044SA

  I just branch a refurbished HP 15-AB044SA comes with preinstalled Windows 8.1. I'm not a fan of the operating system and want to downgrade to windows 7. Could you please guide me to the decommissioning?

  And I have the same funcitionality in the laptop running Windows 7 as Windows 8.1? Is it possible to keep the same license OS currently on the laptop?

  Thanks in advance,

  If the reason why you don't like Win8x is the lack of a desktop and start menu, consider downloading and installing ClassicShell.  This will give the look-and-feel of Win7 back - and it's FREE!

  As for Win7, there are drivers HP to Win7 for your PC: http://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771366/model/8255011

  If this page does not display Win7 when you open it, then click on edit and select Windows 7 from the menu drop down.

  As for the feature, Yes, you will have the same functionality in Win7 you have in Win8x - just a different user interface.

  There is no 'path of decommissioning' to Win7. Instead, you'd have to do is to boot from Win7 installation media and install it on top of Win8.  This means that you will lose all existing applications, the parameters and the data of the user in the process.

  NO, we do not keep or use the same license.  Your PC came with HP OEM Win8 preinstalled, and that's what the license is for.  To install Win7, you will need to buy it and then activate it by using the product key that you receive with the purchase.  You can't buy this at HP, because he's not selling copies of Win7.

  But what you CAN do is to check with the HP customer service and see if they will sell you HP to Win7 for your PC recovery media.  It would cost much less go out and buy a copy of Win7 retail.
