Win 7 32-bit to 64-bit crossgrade

Hi all

I have a 8440p Elitebook which came with Win 7 Pro 32 bit pre-installed. However, the only OS DVD I got with the laptop is Win 7 Pro 64-bit. As I write, I'm doing a fresh install of the OS 32-bit of recovery option at startup. I prefer to move to 64-bit. If this should be possible using the key shown on the label at the back of the laptop? The label is simply titled "HP Pro HP OA Windows", is not clear if it is 32 Bit only or a 32/64 Bit OEM license. If it is possible to install a valid OS by using the 64-bit key, is there something special I need to do to ensure that the option of HP recovery up to the 64 bit OS, or which will be done automatically when I install from the DVD?

Many thanks in advance,

Aengus

Hello:

Call HP technical assistance for the country that you live in the link below.

Call the phone number for the PC business and ask them a set of W7 64 bit recovery discs.

I know they have them because I have a 6930p and got a W7 x 64 set of recovery disks and he said: it is also good for the 8440p.

To answer your question, the key is good for both versions, but you won't need it if you order the set of 64-bit recovery disks.

  • Latest version of Firefox does not work on Win 7 64 bit

    Downloaded the latest version of Firefox and installed on my newly built computer Win 7 64 bit. When I click on the shortcut of Firefox, it absolutely nothing happens. No processes appear in the Task Manager, nothing. Googled the question and I tried many patches recommended without result. At a loss on how to fix, Firefox is unusable at this point.

    In the case where the program files were damaged during installation, you can try:

    Clean reinstall it

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 41.0.1 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) delete the folder of the current program to:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    (C) run the installer downloaded to (A). I'm NOT suggesting it as an administrator.

  • iTunes - stay on Win 7 64 bit upgrade, win 10 64-bit

    I am running Win 7 64 bit on an older PC (disputed material 4 GB memory limitation). I have an iPhone TO an ipad mini and an old ipad.

    Specifically regarding iTunes - should I stay with what works fine now (Win 7 64-bit) or take advantage of the free upgrade (?) to win 10 64 bit.

    Yes, I know... a little late to ask this question. I keep procrastinating.  I search for related positions, did not find anything that general.

    If you decide to improve see your iTunes backup for Windows with SyncToy library for a backup plan proposed. iTunes seems does not fare terribly well during an upgrade on Windows 10 site so it might be an idea to uninstall all Apple software before upgrading, and then reinstall later. For more tips, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for updates of Windows .

    Hi all

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100 - 324.
    I installed Win 7 64 bit on this computer and I have problem with sound now.

    My sound does not work. I tried to install a driver but without result.
    I tried to download the driver from realtek but it was the same thing.

    Do you know how I can run on this PC?

    Thanks for your advice

    Hello

    Satellite P100-324 belongs to the series of PSPA6E.
    The European driver Toshiba page asserts that Realtek audio driver should be compatible.
    But the Realtek audio driver Toshiba on page is released for Win 7 32 bit, not 64-bit.

    I recommend the driver on the Realtek page. There you should find one that suits.

    You can also check the Dev ID and could find the compatible driver for internet.

  • NB550D - best way to install Win 7 64-bit and 64-bit drivers

    Hello

    I improved my NB550D to Windows7 Home Premium and installed 4 GB of RAM.
    This works much better, but want to go further and make a Windows7 Ultimate _64bit_ _clean install_ in order to take full advantage of theupgrade in RAM.

    My question is: what should I do about the Toshiba drivers for 64-bit? I guess I'm going to need some?

    What is the best way to go about the upgrade - any help will be appreciated! : D

    If you need to switch to Win 7 64 bit, then you need some Win 7 64 bit drivers.
    On the European driver Toshiba page, I could find some 64-bit drivers, but it seems that not all Toshiba for Win 7 64-bit tools are released.

    Drivers for WLan or BT stack can be found here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

    Other drivers or Toshiba tools such as value added package or Face Recognition, Eco utility and others could be used with other series of portable for example by Satellite C660D or others such as L750D, L755D or C670D
    Surely you must pay attention to the integrated graphics chip, the LAN or the chipset
    Use the drivers that are released for fleas in NB550D

  • Problems with downgrade to 8.1 Win to Win 7 64 bit on Satellite S70 - A - 11 H

    Hello

    My daughter already has a laptop Tosh with Win 7 64 bit that is several years old and has seen better days, so for Christmas I he bought a new laptop of S70 - A - 11 am with Win 8.1 pre-installed.
    She hates. In fact she won't use the new laptop at all unless it has Win 7 on it.

    For people who do not use a tablet or phone Windows phone and as desktop printing Windows 8 machine does not work for us.

    Now I am working in a niche THIS role using many OS such as Microsoft Windows (XP, Win7, Server 2003, Server 2008) and Solaris, as well as a bit of RedHat.

    Now, my experience of Win8 is equal to zero.
    I thought it would be simple enough to install a copy at retail of Win7 with SP1 64 bit on this laptop.
    Not so easy as it turns.

    When I boot from the Windows 7 install DVD, the installer crashes as the Windows 7 logo begins to appear on the screen. If I try an installation with the latest driver safe mode which seems to load whenever the lock up is disk.sys.

    So the question is how to install Win 7 64 bit SP1 on this notebook using a copy of Win7 retail?

    Any ideas would be very appreciated.

    > If anyone else is interested the issue is caused by the use of left GPT on version 8.1.

    Thank you very much for us to share this detail.
    This could be very useful and interesting for others here in this community.

  • Where can I find Win 7 32 bit drivers for Satellite L650D - 12 p

    Where can I find drivers for 32-bit, for

    nileif
    DK

    Hello

    It seems that only the Win 7 64 bit drivers are available for Satellite L650D - 12 p PSK1SE series at the moment that maybe Toshiba will come out the 32-bit driver in the near future let's hope

    But if you want, you can install the Toshiba tools and utilities that are released for other series like Satellite L550D. Tools such as VAP, ReelTime, Touch Pad Driver or BT stack can be downloaded from other series, because these aren't portable model relating to the software.

    Of course, you should pay attention to the display driver, WLan or LAN drivers, it depends on the chip.

  • Cannot run 32-bit application on Satellite L750-A010 with Win 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I had a new satellite L750-A010 with OS win7/64, but I can't run programs 32 versions such as Simatic manager V505, product of siemens. Pls advise how I can fix this problem.

    Thank you all.

    Karam.

    Hello

    I m unaware software Siemens Simatic Manager V505. But perhaps this 32-bit applications needs a version of Win 7 32 bit.
    In this case, you need to install a Win 7 32 bit system on your laptop.
    But I recommend to ask support from Siemens for more information maybe there are a few patches, updates or similar solutions that don t require 32-bit system.

    hepl me please! someone...

    Hello

    Satellite U400 - 10l belongs to the series of PSU40E and it supports the audio chip Conexant CX20561
    You need the Conexant audio driver in order to get the proper functioning!

    Please note that the Win XP drivers placed on the Toshiba page are released for Win 32 bit OS! Usually, they don t work with 64 bit XP!
    If you need Win XP 64 bit Conexant sound driver you need to search n 3 third-party pages for this driver.

    In addition, you must install Win XP service packs newer!
    SP3 includes many fixes that are necessary and important.
    SP3 must be installed before installing the audio driver.

  • Satellite L750D - update in Win 7 32 bit for win 10 64 bit

    The installation was successful?

    Well win 10 came and I changed a few things in the start when the laptop computer just restarted.

    Windows 10 tried to solve the problem and said that it was impossible.
    I tried various recovery options that are offered by Windows 10, but all have failed to solve the problem.
    It seems to be a screen driver problem.

    The laptop was initially under Windows 7 32-bit before the upgrade, so so, the pilots would have been 32-bit.
    I have Windows summise 10 is now only 64-bit.

    See attached picture to screen before it fails.
    Screen splach windows at the start of the 4 blue pane window is correct, it's just, then the windows logon id screen supposed to show that you get the example attached.

    You perform an upgrade or a new installation?

    As much as I know it should not possible to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to win 10 64 bit... you need the 64-bit version to get win 10 64-bit.

    In case you have made a 'upgrade', you could try to turn the clock back 10 Windows to an earlier version of Windows:
    Settings > update & security > recovery.

    If the options to go back and restore the factory settings are not available, you can use Setup Toshiba recovery media to install an earlier version of Windows
