• How can I switch from Windows Vista 32-bit for Windows Vista 64 - bit?

  Hello my PC is a 32-bit and I checked and it is expandable to a 64-bit so my? Now this is what to do from here which means I know it is evolutionary, but what do I do now...

  
  
  Please help me understand what I need to do Thks in advance.
  original title: Desktop PC Vista Home Basic...? ..

  On the same hardware, there will be no difference of speed of moving to 64-bit. There are some marginal benefits of security with Windows 64-bit.

  Since at least the five years, almost all of the processors are able to run in 32-bit and 64-bit mode.  See for more information on current processors that work with Windows;

  http://www.Intel.com/en_UK/products/processor/Corei7/index.htm

  http://www.AMD.com/us/products/pages/processors.aspx

  It's really a matter of how much you want to spend for the performance you need. See this for more information on what you will need for a high performance system:

  http://www.TomsHardware.com/reviews/core-I7-3930k-3820-test-benchmark, 3090.html

  You can not simply exchange one processor to another. It must be put in correspondence with the motherboard.

  You are referring to a Vista Home Basic Office. Home Basic is usually installed on low-specification PCs which are not powerful enough to run all of Vista's features.

  If you want to run something like Adobe CS5, you would be probably better off buying a new computer Windows 7 to try to upgrade your existing computer.

• can I switch from win xp pro sp3 Windows XP Professional x 64

  I have an old computer Pentium (32 bit system) (2001) with max memory 2 GB and I wish to Exchange my c: drive to a new 64-bit computer that has the capacity of up to 16 GB of memory.  I am currently using win xp pro sp3 and I don't want to move to Vista or 7 because I'm very comfortable with win xp pro screens.  I'm assuming that win xp Pro x 64 edition is similar for win xp pro in that regard.  Current box has four scsi drives, 2 CD/DVD, 4 pci for creating music cards readers, card Radeon video (2 screens), 2.2 GHz Intel Pentium CPU, 2 GB memory Rambus.  I'm go to Gigabyte GA45T-ES3G-ATX, CPU 3.0 Ghz 775, 16 GB memory Kingston Hyper X, videocard PNY 450NVS Quadro (4 screens), 2 SSD drives (100(c drive)/500 GB).  I opted for the Gigabyte motherboard because it has a pcie x 16 video card and 5 pci slots.  I use software Cakewalk mainly which has a capacity of 64-bit and some of my cards have drivers 64-bit available.  Other software will be able to run in 32-bit mode (x 86).

  My plan is to clone the c: drive current, load it on the new ssd drive and upgrade to Win xp Pro x 64 load if possible.

  Andrea

  First and most importantly, there is no way to upgrade from XP 32 bit to 64 bit, you must perform a "clean installation" of the 64-bit version and then reinstall your applications. Don't forget to back up your data files.

  Secondly because the card mother old and new are very different (device drivers and chipset), it is unlikely that, after cloning your hard drive to an SSD, the computer would even start.

  I'd rather you 32-bit version of Windows XP is a 'Reticular Full' version (OEM versions are related to the 1st motherboard it is installed on and can not be activated on another motherboard) is to reinstall XP 32 Bit to one of your SSD drives (you did not mention RAID), then install the drivers from Gigabyte.

  If you must go the 64-bit road know that 64-bit XP was not very well supported by software vendors and is not widely used.

  Also note that this socket 775 motherboard uses memory DDR3 and no common DDR2 for cards 775 mothers socket.

  Hello NareshDadlani,

  You must verify that your hardware of PCs will supports Windows 7, therefore, you must visit the HP site and check that the Windows 7 drivers are available for your PC.

  Windows 7, is of course, is no longer provided by Microsoft, so you can use scouring eBay or Amazon to see if a copy is legitimate is available. Like most of the software there are many out there pirated copies so be wary.

  You can also check if you can run Windows 8.1 instead. This will bring you bang up-to-date with the latest operating system. You can download the Wizard Windows 8 upgrade from this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8 the link to the upgrade wizard is in the second paragraph.

  Yes, you can, but you need to back up and do a custom installation. There is no place on the way to upgrade from Windows Vista 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Installation and relocation of Windows Vista
  Back up your files - Microsoft Corporation: software, Smartphones...

  Boot from the Windows Vista DVD
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows Vista click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium at 8 - CPU does not support NX

  Hello

  I have Vista Home Premium (very probably OEM as it came with the PC) on a PC and I bought the upgrade license to Windows 8 Pro.
  I understand that it is in terms of the license transition, but here is my problem:
  The CPU does not support NX (and for sure there is no setting in the BIOS for this).
  So I can't move to 8.
  To replace the CPU, I need to replace the motherboard.
  If I replace the motherboard my understanding is I'm losing the license because it OEM.
  So, in reality, I can't switch to Win 8.
  The license, I bought said that I can pass any system running XP, Vista, Win 7 to 8 Win.
  It does not distinguish between older versions of Windows OEM and retail versions.
  For me, it's a huge conflict.
  So the question is:
  Can I change the CPU + motherboard to earn 8? or not?
  Thank you
  It has been some time but I finally had the time to do the upgrade (hardware + software).
  For history and for others who could come on this post with a similar question and be discouraged by responses like this:
  I contacted the technical support of MS and they confirmed that I had a Windows 8 Pro upgrade license and after upgrading my license would Win 8 Pro full-detail (what you want to call it). Essentially, after upgrade, I can reinstall any other motherboard. Of course you can only use a license on a machine at one time.
  (Of course your upgrade license type may be different to mine, so you should check they type of license)
  In any case, what is more interesting, it of that I got the confirmation that I can do a clean install and activate my upgrade license. Not only that, but they recommended the installation of Vista should not be present when installing on 8 to win. I was very skeptical and I asked for an account of the cat to be on the right side. They assured me that the support had made several times and is not a problem.
  And so, I do a clean install on the new motherboard (and a new player) and activated windows 8 with no problems at all.
  It seems very stupid that you can change the motherboard after the upgrade, but could not make the move and the Windows update at the same time. Fortunately, it is not the case.
  To me, it seems that the MS are aware that in you to go from XP (soon), they should also use the materials for the upgrade.

• Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Original title: improvement of the operating system.

  Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

  Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price.  You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.

  Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them.  See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php

• Can I upgrade to windows vista home Premium 32 bit on 64-bit operating system

  Im running windows 7 Home premium on opus 64-bit system.  Can I upgrade to windows vista Home premium 32-bit...

  Hello

  This is not an upgrade from Windows 7 to Vista.

  It is a downgrade that Vista is the previous operating system before Windows 7 came out and you would have to BUY a COMPLETE of Vista version and do a fresh install of Vista; but before you buy Vista, check first that your computer manufacturer provides the Vista drivers for your model computer.

  Microsoft sells more Vista; Try Amazon.com.
