Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit backup

I want to move from 32 to 64-bit (my laptop is expandable), I need to create a backup, because I have a lot of things on my laptop and cant risk losing it

If I create just an image of the normal system, it won't work on an upgrade to 64-bit so what should I do?

And if something is recorded in drive D or E is it deleted after the upgrade

Your 32-bit application will probably be all install and run correctly on 64-bit Windows, the only ones who don't not install would be much older 32-bit applications from the time of W9x with 16-bit installers.  But, as mentioned by ZigZag3143 there is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit, you need to properly install the 64-bit version, and then install all your programs.

    My granddaughters computer laptop K53E from ASUS (2010 purchase) with Win7 64 (home?) has stopped working and has not been used for about 2 years.  Not record it, no set of recovery or repair, no image or backup.  He now needs - hard drive was full with games and some viruses.  I've released the space and got rid of the virus.

    Update Windows automatically downloaded around 150 updates - it wouldn't let me select this option to install only some, then they all begin to install, almost done when windows crashed and could not even get a DOS command prompt.  No recovery no worked configuration option.

    I used Win7 64 bit Pro drive my son (came with his HP ProBook) to install Windows and located all ASUS from ASUS.com drivers.  But now I can not activate Windows.  I tried the license key from the sticker from ASUS (for don't Win 7 64 Home / Premium (?)) No dice.  Tried the Win7 Pro 64 of my son disk key and no dice.

    She paid for a license of Windows 7, when she bought the ASUS K53E.  Single MOM at 30, she goes back to the school and broke.

    Is it possible that she can turn it on Windows7, or some other way to get a short operating system to purchase $130?

    You own a poorly installed edition and you used a HP disc reinstall. You must specifically download and reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    If you can't get this edition, you can consider switching to Windows Home 64 bit 10:

    Just bought this as a backup device for Small Business Server 2008 running on Windows 2008 64-bit. However it does not? Are there drivers anywhere for this or it is simply not supported and I need to buy an alternative solution?

    Plugged into my laptop Windows 7 64 bit and no problems.

    Someone else had the same problem?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there is no other software by download.
    I checked the driver page Toshiba in the Options area but didn't find anything

    AFAIK it of a plug & play HARD drive if you n t need any software to recognize the HARD drive

    There may be a password.
    Try this:
    Connect your HARD drive to the computer when the HARD drive is working
    Select the CD drive with your browser (password)
    Run the ONSPCLCK.exe
    Select 'Options '.
    Select "Disable security password"
    Enter your current password
    Unplug the HARD drive
    connect the HARD drive

    Now, it will work, but with no password protection. Perhaps it would work

  • Satellite A660 - change Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit

    Hi there everyone.

    Really hoping someone can help me here. My A660 had 64-bit Windows 7 installed on it. It was installed as an option I chose when I bought the new product. I had to fix it because the hard drive was bad sectors. If Toshiba gave me an interview and gave me a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows for what they called the factory settings. It seems that it is 32 bit Windows7.

    Now I have a problem when I go to reinstall my system image before taking service, I've created, but I seem to fail whenever I try this. I used the advanced recovery methods and he does not see my hard drive, but when I restart from there he concludes the backup on the external drive, but then he says that he cannot reinstall and I need to reinstall from the recovery disc. So I restart from that and it loads, but it gets to a point where he wants me to insert a disc to cotninue recovery and, as previously indicated my system image are on an external hard drive.

    I'm really lost, stayed back and tried to copy the image of the system directly on the folder of C, but which does nothing. I don't know what to do to get the picture of the system either accepted, or the recovery disc that I have the system installed.

    I'm not a tech guy, but am pretty comfortable in following instructions. Can anyone help me, either move to 64-bit or reinstall it with. Please, I beg you, help is needed! I thought I did everything I was supposed to and followed all the rules handy calculation, but I do not.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hello

    > It seems that it is 32 bit Windows7.
    Is this really Windows 7 32-bit and you have already verified this? You can check if you right click on my computer and select Properties.

    If he s really Windows 7 32 bit, you can restore the 64-bit version using the Toshiba recovery disc but if I understood you correctly you don t have the recovery disk and only some of the files you backed up on external HARD disk, right? Well is not enough

    Normally, the recovery disk Toshiba, you create yourself as mentioned in the user manual. Using this disk, you can restore the original settings of the case and after the first start of your laptop you have seen this message:

    + Important INFORMATION +.

    + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
    + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
    + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)

  • Satellite L505 - it come with disc of Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit?

    I had a computer Satellite L505 with * preinstalled * version Windows 7 64-bit and a 32-bit product recovery disc. I didn't create a backup of a 64-bit version and reinstalled the system since the provided 32-bit recovery disc erase my HD. However, I would like to reinstall the verision of 64-bit Windows 7. I know I can order a backup media on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/ but it says not version (64-bit or 32-bit) wich are mailed directly to me.

    If I check the description of the model on the Toshiba page, it says that it comes with the 64-bit version and includes the 32-bit recovery disc. This description still leaves me a question what backup media I'd get Toshiba. I have to be sure that I get the 64-bit WIndows 7 until I have order a.

    I'd appreciate a confimation. Thank you!

    Hey Buddy,

    I think everything is ok and there is no open question. The description on the Toshiba site says it all: the laptop comes with the 64-bit Windows 7 version, which means that this version is preinstalled on your computer. Additional, you get a version 32-bit on a recovery disc and that s all!

    So you didn't burn the 64-bit recovery disc, which means you must order a new one from Toshiba. I guess you will get versions then 32-bit and 64-bit.

  • Re: Satellite L650/0E8 - clean install with Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello.

    I recently bought a [Toshiba L650/0E8 laptop | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/notebooks/satellite/l650/psk1ja-0e8017] and accidentally installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7.

    I saved an image of "recovery" from my computer in 4 DVD-R using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. I need to use Adobe Master Collection CS5, but this requires the 64-bit edition to use first Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5. I've put together by reading some articles on the net that I have to do a 'clean' install, but as I've always had a technician set up my computer and have never used a Toshiba laptop before, I'm unaware on how to backup all my files, programs, drivers, etc. before reinstall Windows 7 to a 64-bit version.

    -What do these recovery DVD? Is there anywhere I can download the software/drivers for the 64-bit version Toshiba? I apologize if these questions sound really stupid. Honestly, I'm rather confused as to what to do.

    Hey,.

    First of all I have to say it s even though you created the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the user manual. :)
    Some other users here forget it because they don t read their user's manual.

    Anyway, with this record, you can restore the pre-installed Windows version (Windows 7 64 bit) with all the drivers and tools. That means you n t need additional drivers and Toshiba, all tools will be installed automatically. You get out of adjustment of the rear housing.

    But if you use the Toshiba Recovery disk it will wipe the entire HARD drive, then you will need to make a backup of all your important files that you should always after installing Windows.
    This is why I would recommend an external HARD drive. They offer a lot of space to save all your data and with some models, you also backup software, but you can also use the built-in Windows backup tool, it s also nice and works well.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! ;)

  • EliteBook 750 G2: windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit

    Hello world

    I bought a HP EliteBook less than a year ago and it comes with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. The laptop has 8 GB of RAM installed, of which half can be used at the present time. I did not realize the limitation when I bought the thing!

    I would like to install Win 7 64 bit to make use of all of the RAM. I realize that it will take to reinstall all my programs, etc. From what I can tell, the computer seems capable of running a 64 bit OS.

    What I was asking is whether I can use the Win 7 Pro 64 bit installation disc provided with the laptop computer to make the change. Only problem, is that I don't seem to have a Windows product key. Can find no sticker on the laptop and the key-coded in the registry gives an error when I try to check with Microsoft.

    So (1) will drive works? And (2) I need a key, I do not have? HP will give me a button if I call them? Help!

    Thank you very much

    J.D. Walker

    (1) Yes, the disk will work.

    (2) it is unlikely that HP will give you a key. You may or may not need a key depending on the HP disc gave you. If the drive has been modified by HP, it can contain keys SLP and a SLP certificate which, when used with an OEM computer with a good automatic SLIC table active. Please read my answer in HP Windows 8 downgrade Win 7 HP 8300 SFF - No. Win 7 OEM sticker. Attention to the sections 1, 2, 4 and 5. Download RWEverything and ABR Beta with Support Windows 7. If your computer has a SLIC2.1 table, then he can use a key SLP and CERT. Use ABR Beta to backup the current key and CERT. on your Windows 7 32 bit HP preinstalled OS. Use ABR Beta to restore the key and CERT. on your new installation.

    You can boot from another drive? Maybe that Windows 7 is noisy and so it can t be read correctly.

    If you want to downgrade from 64 bit to 32 bit you do a fresh install. This means that you need to clean your current Windows partition so backup all files first!
