• A6511.uk Pavilion: Pavilion a6511.uk windows 7 64 bit upgrade

  I have improved my a6511.uk Pavilion from Vista to Windows 7 32-bit of the disk to upgrade without problem and been running this for a few years now. I installed 2 additional 1 GB memory DIMM in the slot 3 and 4 to take up to 4 GB, as indicated by both HP and Kingston as a specific system upgrade for this model. The BIOS and windows both report of 4 GB. «The reading of the form of specification of motherboard site HP it is said ' 32-bit PC can not solve a full 4.0 GB memory»

  Although the office comes with Vista 32 bit and I have upgraded to Windows 7 32 bit, the processor is 64-bit, so I have three questions:

  1 will be available the additional 2 GB of memory in the current 32-bit OS (Windows 7 32-bit is asked to use up to 4 GB of RAM), or if I wasted my money with this upgrade?

  2. Windows 7 can be upgraded to 64-bit on this computer (I have the required upgrade disc comes with the 32-bit upgrade disk that works on the same key)?

  3. If I switch to Windows 7 64 bit upgrade tool, I would do this as a pure install or use windows, and the 64-bit system will have drivers to support this machine?

  If the system can run on a 64-bit system, the question is why not with a 64-bit processor Devil!

  Thanks to all those that can help you - the next step is to upgrade the HARD drive for one 240 GB SSD (an another HP/Kingston class upgrade), but I want to get this sorted out first.

  Put in the extra memory for 32-bit OS wouldn't give you much of a performance increase.

  You could install an OS 64 bit Windows 7 on the computer, but drivers can be a challenge that HP has no Win 7 drivers.  Drivers of this thread look like your system can work.  If this isn't the case, we can help you.

  With a Windows 7 64 bit installed you would be able to upgrade your memory up to 8 GB.

  Yes, Windows 7 will be a free upgrade for Windows 10, find out if it will work on your system may not be 100% sure.  I've seen newer computers not being not able to run win 10 Tech Preview and still some elders will be.  Only a Microsoft Upgrade Advisor will tell you, but it is not yet available.  For now see the minimum requirements to win 10.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/preview-FAQ-system-requirements-PC

  Remember you can only switch to Win 10 64-bit only if a prior installed OS was 64-bit.

  If you're feeling adventurous, try to install the win 10 Tech Preview now.

• Satellite A200 (PSAE6) - RAM on Windows 7 32 bit upgrade

  I have a Satellite A200 (PSAE6) and I wanted to put more 2 GB of RAM, but tell me the Windows 7 Ultimate 32 recognizes only 1 GB means a total of 3 GB.

  Is this true?

  Hello

  Usually the OS 32-bit Windows recognizes ONLY 3.2 GB of RAM due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
  Therefore, you cannot use 4 GB of RAM with Windows OS 32-bit (Win XP, Vista, Win 7).

  But the upgrade to 4 GB RAM also depends on the chipset and BIOS.
  If both parties (BIOS and chipset) are not 4 GB RAM capable then you would not be able to use 4 GB of RAM, even using the 64 bit OS.

• Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit upgrade

  Dear all,

  I appreciate that an update of a 32 bit OS to 64-bit is not possible, and so I have to run a clean install. However, I can buy a CD to upgrade and which allows to do the clean install, or I have to buy a "new version" somehow.

  My processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo (T7500) which, as far as I am aware, is 64-bit capable. (I have Ubuntu 64 bit on it, so I can also assume so).

  In addition, if a "custom installation" (clean) is made, it essentially will install Windows 7 as another partition or delete the vista one or the other way around. Seems a strange question, which I enjoyed, but for the moment, I currently 17.7 GB free and according to Windows 7 requires 20. I could easily get rid of a load of content, but I am interested in how the process works.

  Thank you, Ian Clark

• Vista-64 bit for Windows 7 32 bit upgrade

  I have a computer I bought with Vista 64 bit OEM factory needs reinstalled operating system installed (my kids computer - trashed by viruses). I bought a copy of Windows 7 32 bit. The upgrade to Vista 64-bit to 32-bit windows 7 will be a problem with system drivers or a problem at all? Or should I buy Windows 7-64 bit? If so, can I get a credit or upgrade to the 32-bit version I've already spent money on?

  Hello

  ask whenever you bought windows 7 32-bit on a credit

  64-bit to 32-bit or 32-bit to 64-bit is not a upgrade path

  It must be done with a clean install with a final certificate of Windows 7

  Information of Windows 7:

  It depends on if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has windows 7 drivers available for him as to if it will work properly

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

• HP Pavilion DV3 - 4031TX Windows 7 32-bit upgrade to 64-bit with the OEM installation?

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv3-4031TX that came with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit OEM preloaded.

  I want to move to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

  I have run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and confirmed that my hardware is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit.

  I don't mind doing a clean install.

  I have my product key OEM with me, but no disc (BONE came preloaded).

  Is it possible to switch to 64-bit by doing a system recovery?  If Yes, where can I change the installation options? (as clicking 'Custom' instead of 'Upgrade' in the retail version Installer)

  I'm not sure if the OEM installer comes with this option.  Can someone tell me? (screenshots will be appreciated)

  Another question, if the OEM Setup program does not come with 64 bit and I have to clean install the retail version, my OEM product key will work?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  No, this is going to work. You definitely need DVD setup and key in your work of peut of the machine. Hope this helps (burn to DVD and use it to install):

• HP Photosmart C7280 solutions Center does not work after Windows 7 32 bit upgrade

  I recently updated my operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7 (32 bit).  Before the upgrade, my C7280 worked fine using the center of Solution and in my home wireless network.  After the upgrade to Windows 7 and download and install PS_AIO_02_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe, version 13.1.0, Solution Center does not work.

  At the opening of the solution Center, it displays disconnected printer.  Using the Wireless Setup Wizard, the printer connects to the network.  I can open the Solution Center and it works very well for about 3 seconds and then goes to the printer disconnected mode.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled the software update for Windows 7 package C7280 repeatedly and with the same results.  I downloaded and installed the patches and still no change.

  I finally had to restore my computer to original operating system.  After the computer back to its original configuration, I used the original to HP Photosmart printer disk to reinstall the driver for Windows Vista.  Everything worked as before.  Then I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.  Yet once, he told me that the HP Photosmart C7280 printer was not compatible with Windows 7.  I uninstalled the printer driver and run Windows 7 upgrade advisor.  This time, I have not received any message about the C7280 printer.

  I installed upgrading to Windows 7 (32-bit), and then upgrade the HP Photosmart C7280 for Windows 7 32-bit driver.  Everything works fine now.

• Cannot print to a network printer after Windows 7 64 bit upgrade

  I've recently updated one of my new PC from Vista Home Premium 64-bit of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
  Since then, I not was able to print on my network printer, an HP Photosmart C7180 all-in-one, which is wireless on my home network. When this PC is Vista, I was able to print. Two other computers on my home network, both running XP, can access the printer on the network and printing.  This PC now on Windows 7 64-bit can find the network printer when I "Add a printer -" and I am able to complete the installation of the printer.  I downloaded and installed new drivers for the HP C7180 from the site Web HP specifically for Windows 7 64-bit, so I have the latest drivers.
  I have NOT install the printer as a device shared on any of the computers, but rather want to be able to print from any of them, even if other computers are offline.
  If I open and leave visible the print queue for the printer and then print a Test Page, I see the print job briefly showed the 'Impression' in the display of the print queue, but nothing ever reachs the printer. There is no message error, either during the process of adding the printer, or when sending the Test Pages, or other print jobs to the printer.
  I have McAfee antivirus and firewall installed on my PC. Advanced Firewall setting for networks shows that the range of IP addresses for all my IP addresses are approved.
  (I spent hours to reinstall the drivers and remove and reinstall the printer and spent a frustrating 2 additional hours with the help of HP without success. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.)

  Is your computer 7 32 or 64-bit?

• HP Pavilion KE472AA Vista to Windows 7 32 bit upgrade

  I'm hoping to move from Vista to Windows 7... been thru Microsoft "Upgrade Advisor" and he can't say one way or the other if my PC can take W7... He suggested that using the HP website, but I can see only change from Vista to XP out there... advice please?

  Hello:

  I looked at all the material on your PC from the page on record, and the only devices that can not work on W7 is the TV tuner and the wireless network adapter.

  There is no W7 drivers for those.  Maybe the drivers Vista will work, but I would have no way of telling that they would.

  There are W7 drivers for the Radeon HD 2400 from the site Web AMD and nForce 430 chipset directly from nvidia drivers.

  Audio drivers directly from Realtek.  The nVidia chipset drivers to also install the ethernet controller.

• HP Elite 8200 SFF 8 GB RAM: Windows 10 64 - bit - upgrade Win7 to Win10 on HP Elite 8200 SFF - future drivers to win 10 64-bit?

  I've upgraded 3 computers (portable and desktop computers) to WIN 10 since the launch and made part of the Windows program initiated for 8 months - (identify problems with NVIDIA drivers, etc.). All of the family's computers have upgraded with minimum agitation outside HP Elite 8200 SFF - core i5 vpro.

  Be aware that this PC passes all diagnostics equipment and a new hard drive and compatible memory and work 100% without error on Win 7 Home - motherboard and processor are out of the box, two weeks ago. The PC has been reset to Win 7 since.

  After installation, there was a lot of blue screens including: -.

  Memory management errors

  Bad pool header error

  Several internet queries (probably from Microsoft OneDrive store)

  I understand that this machine has not been tested as part of a verification of the compatibility of HP / Microsoft.

  My question is: there will be updates on the site of HP driver Support in the near future to include 64-bit Windows machines concerned 10 drivers? Or links included for Intel Chipset drivers when they are available to Win10?

  At any time.

  I am pleased to have been of assistance.

  Maybe try again before the end of the free period.

  It is possible that they will have worked on bugs and the most up-to-date version at W10.

  Who knows, it might even be the integrated graphics Intel W10 driver that is buggy.

  I got my Elite 8200 throwing XP Pro x 64, Vista, W7 Pro, W8.1 Pro business and now in W10 Pro works perfectly on every operating system.

• Satellite P300D - 21K: Windows 7 64 bit upgrade level & RAM Upgrade advice

  Hi, I need some advice on upgrading my laptop. My laptop is a:

  Toshiba Satellite P300D - 21K
  Model No.: PSPD0E - 00H003EN

  I think of upgrading to windows 64-bit (lucky students can do that for A £30!) to help speed up my laptop. I use some CAD applications, so 64-bit should help with the speed of these applications. Question:

  (1) are there reasons that someone could advise me not upgrading to 64-bit with my laptop?
  (2) I need to update my RAM at least 4 GB for 64-bit. I currently have 3 gig, so I guess I need to replace my stick of 1 GB with a 2 gig stick? Or did I put a 4 GB stick with my existing 2 gig stick?
  (3) going to upgrade my ram and operating system void my warranty?

  1 in my opinion there is no reason why you should not install version 64-bit OS. Just be sure that all 64-bit drivers are available on the Toshiba support page.
  I imagine at the moment for Win7 drivers are still not available and you have to wait.

  2. According to the specifications of the laptop Satellite P300D - 21 K can handle with 4 GB 2x2gb RAM max is the maximum that you can do about it.
  2 GB compatible RAM has PA3513U-1M2G part number.

  3 No.

• New hard drive gets the INVALID disc Windows 7 64 bit upgrade product key!

  I installed Windows 7 Home Premium and within 24 hours, my hard drive is dead. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 7 Home Premium with 64-bit disc. Everything went well until the time of the entry of the product key. When I typed in the key of this program returned an INVALID KEY message and instructed me to check and retype the key, I did. Product key message invalid was repeated. I have not installed a previous version of windows before you reinstall 7, and the installation program never asked me to check my right to use the upgraded version (Yes, I used the CUSTOM install method).

  The INVALID PRODUCT KEY message due to the absence of an earlier version of windows is detected on the new hard drive? I need to install my OLD version of windows before proceeding with Windows 7, can I? Please help me understand what is happening with this PC. I convinced my sister to be upgraded because Windows 7 is SO much in my PC, so that she bought the upgrade disc and tried for a week to get its system works as well as mine has inlaw for several months. I have not heard of someone having this much trouble with the upgrade to Windows 7.

  Product keys don't care equipment. They only care about the version of Windows that you are trying to install. (However, you cannot validate a facility later but this is another topic).

  If your product key is rejected, then you are two typing errors or you are using a key that does not match the DVD that you are using. This could happen if you use a MS Office key for a Windows installation to a key of Windows 7 OEM for a DVD retail of Windows 7.

• The 32-bit Windows 7 to windows 7 64 bit upgrade?

  I bought the upgrade disc to switch from windows XP to windows 7 and I had to use the 32 bit until I upgraded my computer. I (32 and 64-bit) disk to upgrade to windows 7. Can I do a custom install and reload the 64-bit windows 7? The upgrade disc won't work? I've saved my files to an external hard drive.

  Yes, it should work. You may need to activate by phone after the upgrade. Ranging from a 32-bit OS for a 64 bit OS requires that you choose 'custom' own installation option. This means that your applications will have to be resettled. As you mentioned that you have already saved your data files.

• Reinstall the applications pre-loaded with Windows 7 64 bit upgrade

  I'm looking to upgrade my 32 bit to 64 bit on my HP Pavilion a6710t (which came with Vista 32-bit) OS.

  Because I'm changing from 32 bit to 64 bit I do a 'Custom' instead of 'Upgrade' installation installation so I I will lose programs installed, including pre-installed as Cyberlink DVD Suite software and reinstall it after the upgrade is done.

  Downloads for 64-bit for my look of machine to be upgraded already installed software to be compatible with 64-bit software installations and is not complete.

  Is it possible to re - install somehow? Like going somewhere on the recovery DVDs?

  Thank you!

  -Andrew Chang

  Yes, the pre-installed software installation routines are on your HP DVD recovery. Explore disk recovery DVD #1 and I think you will find a folder named "HP". In the "HP" folder should be a folder named 'Apps' and another named 'Drvr' or something similar. In these files should be most, if not all, of the included software.

  Alternatively, you can locate the same files in a folder named "SWsetup" on your c:\ drive, if you have not previously modified.

  3. to ask Bing returns hundreds of responses for the wrong operating system and the error code.

  4. this software to ask questions is very frustrating because mousing back to correct a spelling error deletes all the text after the cursor automatically. What is the point of making the impossible corrections?
