What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?

What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? I have a 2 TB internal hard drive and want to install Windows and Norton Internet Security on the drive C, drive D and drive E data programs.

Thanks for a response.

Original title: size partition Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

For technical purposes, I recommend you only keep utilities all programs that you install on the startup disk. This is recommended if you plan to upgrade to future releases of Windows such as Windows 8 because you will experience problems with the installation program.

I recommend however, you can keep accumulated data such as Documents, Photos, music, videos on a separate partition to ensure custody.

The recommended size for the boot drive around things like Windows, future growth for applications and the Windows updates and program updates will be considered.

So I recommend not more than 200 GB, for a lot of space, I would shoot up to 300 if you want to keep things like System Restore Points.

    Hello

    I try to install Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit on a clean hard disk using the supplied DVD. I would use the formatting option GPT instead of MBR because of its capabilities on the MBR.

    I understand that I need a motherboard that supports UEFI and I made the necessary changes to start in UEFI since my motherboard.

    How can I specify when to start from the DVD, I want to have a GPT partitioned hard drive?

  • His Dell Inspiron 1420, microphone and camera integrated into the laptop does not work after installing Windows 7 Professional

    No sound from my Dell Inspiron 1420 and the microphone and built-in laptop camera do not work after installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. My laptop has Windows 7 Vista 32 - bit family premium. My laptop is 64-bit capable and after going through the Upgrade Advisor, I installed Windows 7 64-bit. I can hear sounds when I use a headset plugged into the line-in Jack, but not through the speakers built into the laptop. I already tried new drivers from the Dell website, but I could not find.

    Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

    As it is has no drivers 64 bit Windows 7 on Dell Web site, your best chance is to install the 64-bit versions of Vista (if they exist) in compatibility mode, viz:

    Right click on the Vista driver, then select Properties > Compatibility tab. Now choose to run the program in Vista compatibility mode and then apply > OK. Right click on the file and select run as administrator to install it.

  • What are the requirements of optimal hardware for Adobe Photoshop CS6 specification?

    I greet the staff and users of this forum,

    As the title makes clear, the issue is "What are the requirements to the optimal hardware for Adobe Photoshop CS6 specification".
    Unfortunately, I am not satisfied with the specifications indicated on the site, because I think that they are much less important than the specifications needed to run the program to its full potential. This belief comes from my experience with the Adobe Photoshop CS2 product that I currently run on my computer. Indeed, Ps CS2 can not fully execute without causing shifts in time on my computer (i.e. when using smudge diameter of 500 pix / help to liquefy Gallery), even though my characteristics are already higher than those specified for the CS6 (mine are: Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 1.86 GHz, 3 GB RAM). I can assure you that I receive these shifts in the time almost in SafeMode (only key running system processes) and that my computer is clean of any virus/process that could reduce its performance.

    I lived two forums and four telephone operators to always get the same answer: the specs on the website.
    If any user here could give me a more accurate record, I would be really grateful.

    Thank you

  • Running Windows 7 Pro 32 bit from an OEM installation. Can I reuse the license key I have to install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit?

    We have several computers at work that use 32-bit versions of Windows 7 Professional. We must move to 64-bit in order to use more memory. If I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit disc can I install the 64 bit version and reuse install the license key for the 32 bit version. I was told Yes as long it's the oem disc. I don't know what that means exactly. What is an OEM drive and why I he would have if the oem of Windows versions usually installed when the computer is initially being built. Thanks for the help guys!

    Yes, you can use the same product key to activate the 64-bit version. You may need to reactivate but by telephone.

    It doesn't have to be an OEM drive. As long as it matches the edition you are installing.

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (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.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  • Tecra S11 - what are the two primary partitions for?

    Hello everyone

    I just got myself a new Tecra S11 with Win7 64 and there is one thing that has me littlebit wondered.
    In total, there are four partitions, there are for sure the recovery a (1.46 GB) and the system a (256,38 GB), but then there are also two primary partitions (8.86 and 31.38 GB) without displayed use or file system. There is no unallocated space.

    Can someone tell me what are these two partitions? I want to split the system partition to store my data on a separate, if possible I also want to use that 'unknown' space then ;)

    Besides that: don't worry, I already have recovery DVD.

    Greetings
    Nico

    I put t know why you now have the new structure of the partitions, but the important thing is that you create recovery DVDs and if something goes wrong with the preinstalled recovery image OS or HARD drive you can use DVDs for the installation of the OS.

  • What is the current screen resolution recommended for projects/records?

    My team uses a variety of screen resolutions to their workstations, so we try to decide on a standard for the Captivate projects and recordings.  Our projects must be consulted by users of laptops and desktops, with a great diversity in age and the location of the eye. What is the current recommendation for the size of the Captivate project?

    We had settled on 800 x 600, but since we use a Table of contents on projects, this means that people using 1024 x 768 on their office do scroll to the right to see the entire slide.  If we use 720 x 540, everything seems to be fine.

    On some web pages, I've seen 1024 x 768 recommended as the minimum resolution to develop for, but that seems to be a little dated now that more people are getting wide screens. What minimum aim for you (especially if you add a Table of contents)?

    Thank you!

    In my company, we use 980 x 560 px because it fits perfectly into our LMS framework and corresponds to a screen of 1024 x 768. We do not use the table of contents so the 980px wide is the actual content area.

    Most of our users run 1280 x 1024 resolutions, but we have some more using the old trust 1024 x 768 while we always aim the smallest resolution as scrollbars ongoing e-Learning will kill your course.

  • What is the display screen color recommended for fine arts

    I need to send pictures of my works so, what color recommended for my screen?

    Each monitor will interpret according to local settings of RGB. LCD monitor displays colors in this way, by combination of red, green and blue LEDS (light emitting diodes). It is an additive color model in which Red, green and blue are added together in various ways to reproduce a wide range of colors.

    You have no control over other peoples screens settings

    Make it look good on your is the best you can do.

    If you want to print CMYK is a subtractive color model, used in color printing, which you have control of the finished product.
