Windows 7 Home 64 bit - is a 40 GB partition...

install and have enough remaining space (if I ever download updates), to install or use the applications?

You want to dual-boot with retina of Macbook Pro with only 128 GB SSD.

Obviously goes with the 256 GB would have been better, but is it still possible to dual-boot?

If Win 7 64 bit requires 20 GB of disk space, we could think of another<= 20gb="" would="" be="" available,="" but="" searching="" seems="" to="" suggest="">

What could really expect?

Thank you!

Install Windows 7 on the computer with this amount of storage, you must think of a combination of things:

What applications do you use?

Your future needs, which means, it must take into account the accumulation of data requests, system updates.

Although Windows 7 has a bare minimal support from 16 to 20 GB, which depends on factors such as:

-Data storage could be done on a network drive or an external storage device.

-You are using just the bare essential applications such as office productivity suite, browsing the web and email.

In most cases, if you plan to set up a boot camp with Windows partition, you probably use for a few specific applications that are not available for OS X, it would not be intended to be your default OS unless it is your intent.

If all of these things can count how much send back you the Boot Camp partition. The industry is always, never says go with the bare minimum of Microsoft, so doubling the amount to 40 GB would be naked only recommended to run mission critical applications.

Question, which OS will you been in most of the time?

If you are in Windows, then it is recommended to give Windows more. Its not strange to have a Mac just to run Windows. In addition, OS X is more flexible, you could give the lion share of the SSDS Windows and the OS X installation program to run from an HFS formatted external and more OS X apps. Or you could run your applications and store the content that you create in OS X on the external hard drive.

Or you could split it pitting of the two 64 OS for X 64 OS for Windows. I use a Dell 760 at work, 74 GB of storage. I have about 10 GB left out of it, and then I have a lot of things that I do not need the multimedia files on it that I can delete. The actual amount I would use if I intend to clean and remove the old files would be about 50 GB of data, including the OS, applications and data.

  • Impossible to update iTunes 12.4.1 on Windows 10 Home (64-bit)

    Hello, I use a Dell Inspiron with Windows 10 Home (64-bit) desktop computer and can't update iTunes to version 12.4.1.  After I check the box of iTunes to install the new version, I get an error message stating:

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

    I did a restore of windows xp home 64-bit but not recover my registry key.  How can I get the key?

    There is no such thing as Windows XP 64-bit Edition.  OEM machines are supposed to have a sticker with the product key on the computer somewhere.  You never did a full backup or an image of the disc on another drive?  If so, the key can be retrieved from the backup or image.

    If its a license upgrade, the machine or virtual machine (Parallels) must have a previous qualifying installed license.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    Bunkieboy,

    Lightroom 4 and later will not install or run on the 32-bit editions and 64-bit of Windows XP Edition family or professional

    Lightroom 5 et seq. will not install or run on 32-bit editions of Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1 for Windows and Mac OS 10.6.x

    Lightroom CC will not install or run on Mac OS 10.7.x

    Please see system requirements for Lightroom for more information.

    You can install and activate the perpetual software (purchased) two computers of the same type (mac or pc), as long as you use it one at a time. Lightroom is the exception because it is a cross-platform product, so it can be installed on the pc and mac platforms.

  • Windows 7 home 64 bit authentic can reactivate or re - register

    Help!  My home edition of Windows 7 64-bit, genuine and paid for, has been activated for more than a year. Everything was fine until there is a message saying that Windows only authentic not started to appear, with a link for activation of the line 30 days.

    On the activation line simply did not work.

    Tried to phone activation, it did not work.

    Called Microsoft, who confirmed that it is a genuine copy of Windows and he talked me through several solutions, none worked.

    A ran chkdsk and scannow. Still could not activate Windows.

    Found slmgr /dlv, where it shows that it is on his "grace period" of 30 days, with a countdown to it ending.

    Managed to reset the count to 30, but once again, he turns to 0.

    A run of Microsoft Diagnostic tool (see below, I deleted the activation ID, PIN, they were all correct).

    This is the part that seems to relate to being authentic and active Windows or not.

    I see that the Validation Code is 0

    and a little further down there are two file incompatibilities (although I don't know whether or not they are relevant).

    At the bottom, it says there is no table SCLID in the BIOS, I know volume licensing issues, but I can't find anything online on SCLID tables for individual users.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem.

  • What is the best software dock for windows 7 home premium64 bits?

    I am using windows 7 Home premium 64-bit. What is the best doc for my pc software...?

    I think that atm Dock all programs DO NOT support native 64 so they will work, but some things do not work properly.
    Don't come on a guy and him say no to install the 3rd party thing, I'm sorry, but the world revolves around more than the operating system.
    I've been dying to use ObjectDock, but until they support 64-bit I won't use it until it runs as 32 bits, that was awesome.
    Personally to customize my desktop atm I use hyper-desk which is an excellent add-on.

    Hope this helps and if you have 8gig of ram in your system, then who cares programs how you have running.
    I use less than 25% with all my WASTE running.

    Soon and happy new year to you all.

    When you request support, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

    The information requested above are on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery compartment or on the BIOS boot screen. Please see How can I find my model number or product number? for help more to find this information. DO NOT include your serial number. Please enter the product/model information consumer HP Online Support page and post it here for our review.

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You should ENABLE 'Secure Boot' and maybe 'Legacy Support' in the 'BIOS Setup boot secured' on the settings page below, before you try to install Windows 7;

    or

    Also, as the hard disk can be partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  • P6 - 2155a: HP Pavilion P6 2155a Asus GTX 750 Ti Windows 7 home 64-bit

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone might be able to help please... My nephew has a P6 HP 2155 (H1N09AA #ABG) has with Windows 7 64 bit.  I bought her a card video Asus GTX 750 Ti (this card requires no additional power from the power supply).  When I install the machine stays on the initial startup of HP screen and progresses then (after some time) to a black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left side.  There is no bios beeps to indicate that the card is faulty or does not work in the machine.

    I read that some people have had some successes, but I can't solve this problem.  I read that a bios upgrade may be required, but visit the HP support page there is no bios section under drivers/software suggesting that there has been no update published by hp.

    I saw that there is an update of the bios for Windows 8 OS.  I saw also there are a few updates BIOS Driverguru but I'm a little nervous trying the ROM with the HP not downloaded flash software.  Perhaps these Driverguru bios updates are motherboard Μatx-H61-Joshua but not the variant of HP.

    So I wonder, someone at - it pointers or suggestions?  I know the video card works as I have tried in my HP 8300 Series machine and it works without any fault.

    I really appreciate if anyone has suggestions and thank you for reading about my problem.

    Update... Update (2ADA ROMA family) 8.17 Rev A installed HP consumer Desktop PC BIOS BIOS for Windows 8 and everything works now!

    Fully tested and no problem at all.

    If someone reads this always proceed with caution - if it works for me that it might not work for you.
