• Windows Vista 64-bit of Windows 7 32-bit update?

  G ' Day,.

  I've seen a lot of Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit upgrade questions, but that the opposite?
  I just moved houses, and I think I lost my CD of 32-bit of Windows Vista, but I found my 64-bit of Windows Vista CD and I am wanting to buy Windows 7 Uprade but only to install the 32-bit version.

  You can do in the modernization of the place of Windows 64-bit to 32-bit Windows, and vice versa. Its a clean install only. I suggest that you use the Windows Easy Transfer utility included on the DVD of Windows 7 to create a backup your personal files.

• I can uprade from Windows Vista 32 bit to 64 bit?

  I need help please!

  I have windows vista family 32-bit premium... it says that it is 64-bit capable > is it worth changing the pc for the 64? And if so how would I do it? I want to go to the ultimate windows and since I bought the pc at the right time that I don't have the key! I guess that's already stored in the files, so I don't need to look for the key!

• lost the contact and the Favorites after uprading to windows live

  changing from Outlook Express to Windows Live

  I turned on my terminal this morning because she had been updated during the night.  I discovered that my email accounts had been updated from Outlook Express to Windows Live.  As a result, my a mail account lost all my contact names.  I also discovered that my list of favorites to computer had been erased.  I also lost all the icons that I show when my home page appears.  I should have been warned in advance that this would happen.  I was never given an option to upgrade to Windows Live, and if I had been given this option, I would have refused.  I should have been warned that if I upgraded to Windows Live a lot of my information would be deleted.

  I suggest you ask about contacts.

• Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX: can I upgrade to Windows 10?

  I have a laptop Presario CQ56-115DX, bought October 2010 (5.5 years) and running Windows 7. Considering the free update of Windows 10, I am concerned about the graphics card (ATI Mobility Radeon HD4250). I can't find an answer consistent and simple as to if it will work with Windows 10. Some sources claim a flat No., while others say No Problem, and still others say it's possible, but I'll have to pass through many creoles, manual installation of upgrades/downgrades of device drivers before, during and after the upgrade of the OS.  Maybe a BIOS update, too.

  So, can someone give me the history of right? When all is said and done, I at least will be no worse off as I am today on Windows 7, for graphics and video capabilities? I do more than very light animation and card games - no heavy action or stuff VR Council. This laptop has the power to do this kind of things anyway. If there is clear instructions somewhere for the manual steps that must be done before pulling the trigger on the upgrade of Win10, I can follow them. I don't want to risk in bricks during the upgrade! Supposedly, for 30 days after the upgrade, I can return to Windows 7, but it's no good if I can't get on the machine in the first place.

  I realize that this machine is getting quite long in the tooth, so a hardware upgrade (if that's even possible) is out of the question. If I have to stay on Windows 7, I'll run that, until the support is gone and then switch to Linux or something (maybe dual boot) until the material finally die.

  Are there any other known folds in a Windows 10 upgrade, in addition to the graphics? I've seen complaints about wireless, keyboards, optical drives and other things does not work properly after the upgrade.

  PPerry57

  My advice, after these uprades and seen THEM fail miserably on the old PC (like yours) are NOT to do the upgrade.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

  This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!

  Also, there is no upgrade for the BIOS of your PC because it has not been compiled with Win10 in mind.

  While Microsoft tells you there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly faction of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when it fails it can leave machinery in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!

  Thus, people who tell you that you are no worse off the power if you upgrade to level do not take account of the reality of the situation - you'll be no better off and will be certainly less well off, how much, nobody knows.

  However, if you are willing to do some work and are determined to try to upgrade, then read on...

  You think about the amount of work that you want to post just to run Win10.  Seriously.  Old machine Win7 tend to come in two flavors when it comes to upgrading Win10 - really easy and really difficult.

  The really hard to upgrade computers fall into two categories: (1) those who are expandable to Win10 and works OK, (2) those who are not.

  Computers laptops HP, especially old Win7 machines, often came with two different graphics - and Intel chips and then either a processor AMD or Nvidia.  This was known as switchable graphics card or hybrid.  You have run using the Intel chip most of the time, but when you need additional graphics power, as in the game, the PC automatically switched over to the use of the AMD or Nvidia graphics chip.

  Problem is, this requires special graphics drivers to work, and while that those that are preinstalled on laptops Win7, these drivers simply do not exist for Win10.  These drivers are not available from Intel, AMD or Nvidia.  One way to tell if your PC has two different graphics chips is to look in under Graphics Device Manager.  If there are two different cards in the list, an Intel and AMD/Nividia, then you have this problem - and if you force an upgrade to Win10, you will have serious graphic problems and your machine will not work.

  However, if you do not have this problem, to CAN pass to Win10, but you must be willing to do four things:
  (1) do a full image backup of disk external drive or USB stick, capacity
  (2) changes to the reserved system partitioning hard disk recommandΘes mΘthodes,
  (3) use a different approach and maybe more than one, as Windows Update to do the upgrade,
  (4) prepare for a clean install.

  ---------------------------------
  1: backup of images:
  This is VITAL, because the machine is doomed to failure of the upgrade, and when that happens, you will learn that GoBack to Win10 function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.

  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.
  ---------------------------------
  2: System reserved for resizing:
  There is a small partition on the HDD with Win7 preinstalled machines known as system reserved.  It is something known as the boot loader code.  There is 100 MB format: all that is necessary for Win7.  But Win10 needs 350 MB and, in some cases, is NOT able to resize it on its own.  IF this happens, you must manually use a partitioning tool to resize it yourself.
  ---------------------------------
  3: use a different approach to upgrade:
  Windows Update is the simpler, but less reliable, way to do the upgrade from Win10.  A much better and more reliable way is to use Microsoft Media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10 choose the upgrade this option now PC.

  After all this, you know that MS install drivers with only the most basic features.  Given that HP does not have drivers for your PC Win10, this limited functionality is the best you're going to get.  HP does not actively write new drivers from Win10 for the old PC Win7.  To keep all the features of your PC, your best shot is NOT to upgrade to Win10.
  ---------------------------------
  4: be prepared to clean-install:
  If you do all this, and after the upgrade, your PC works partially, this means that the upgrade is not well and stuff is still there the previous OS corrupt the functionality of Win10.

  You MIGHT be able to solve the problem in fact a clean install of Win10. Problem is that, often, a clean-install does not recognize prior activation, even if it should. So, before doing the upgrade, follow these instructions on the community forums Win10 on creating a genuineticket.xml file: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/23354-clean-install-windows-10-directly-without-having-upgrade-first.html

  You need more later to activate your pc Win10 after the installation of clean.

• can upgrade you vista Home premium to vista professional in order to install windows 7 Professional upgrade?

  Husband bought the windows 7 Professional upgrade.  Of course when it did not work and the message was to do a "clean install", we both had type light headed as we thought it that will take all day and probably does not work smoothly since is the most "literate" computer.  I did some internet research and according to microsoft, windows vista business upgrade to windows 7 Professional is an upgrade and not a clean install.  Is it useful to try and uprade my 64-bit edition windows Home premium windows vista professional in order to upgrade to windows 7 Professional?  I don't think we can get our money back because the packaging is open or I would say just that we trade it for ultimate.  If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.  Also I don't know even where to download vista business or haow only as much as it would cost.  Thanks in advance.

  N ° there is no way to go from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional OR Vista business without what you call a 'clean install', so there is no point in spending money to upgrade to Home Premium to business before the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.  Upgrade Vista Home Premium only allowed on-site is ultimate.

  Use Windows Easy Transfer to keep your files and settings.  Then, start the computer with the Windows 7 dvd installation and moving forward.  Do not remove Vista.  Windows 7 upgrade installation should detect a copy installed Windows so that you can use the upgrade product key.  Once you reach the installation type selection screen, you will see the upgrade option is grayed out.  Choose the custom option to continue.

  If you want to do a clean install, you can use the tools on the installation type selection screen (until you click on custom) to reformat, etc., but this is not necessary if you don't mind remove the old Windows folder later.  If you start with a blank hard drive your upgrade license will be a problem then don't attempt is not a clean install of the old way.

• Switch from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit

  I have a HP Tx1000 Tablet running on Windows Vista Premium 32 bit. I want to uprade to Windows 7 and I was wondering if I should use Windows 7 32-bit or could I upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. I know everything must also be compatible with Vista. I have a 1.8 ghz AMD 64 X 2 Tl - 56 processor. I switch to 4 GB of ram (32-bit only recognized 3 GB though). I want to move to 64-bit so I can use all of my ram, as my computer has a severe disorder runnning, more than one program at a time especially when I have Internet Explorer to the top.

  Thank you
  Derek

  Hi derekdel,

  For 32-bit to a 64-bit system on any operating system (XP, Vista, Windows 7), you will need to do a clean install.  The upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit is not available on any Microsoft OS.

  Hope this helps, Kevin

• Problem of formatting windows vista edition upgrade Home premium

  A few years ago I bought a pc custom made and also bought a version ledgit of windows xp media Center, with this, I also received a free uprade for windows vista home edition premium, I gave it some time before moving to vista (because of all the initial problems that vista had when he was releaeased).

  But now I have vista on my pc is for a year or two irratically running at least, so I desperately need to format my pc, I have read in various articles that once you upgrade to vista xp your original key to become obsolete, surely this cannot be the case, I paid full price for the Media Center program , and if indeed this is the case how do I clean my pc and reinstall vista on it.

  Thanks in advance for any response to my dilemma

  This is your key to your XP license.

  You can wipe the computer and reinstall.

  It now part of the process to upgrade and stop install you on another computer.

  But you can use it to reinstall > then go back to Vista.

  If you have any problems, just call Microsoft and explain what you are doing.

  See you soon.

• Password block Windows Easy Transfer - cannot open Windows XP easy transfer file

  I did a uprade from my PC from windows XP to windows 7. However, before doing so, I used windows easy transfer to copy my files to a later transfer. The problem is, in the process, that I did not use a password. Now, I can't open .mig files transfer easily created on the USB external drive. I had seen several old posts on this same issue. Some have recommended trying to copy. The problem is that I have more access to the old XP files since the machine is now windows 7.
  Is there anyway to pass the fast password in transfer windows easy when trying to backup files without a valid password (especially since I have not created a).

  The Windows.old folder has two objectives:
  (1) can be used to uninstall Windows 7 and return your PC to the previous version of Windows.
  (2) contains a backup of all your files of data, documents, photos, Etc. from the previous version of Windows.

  Note: Change the Windows Explorer option to see the Windows.old folder:
  Click on start and enter in the box "Search": "hidden" (without the quotes)
  Click on the "Show the hidden files and folders" option at the top of the list.
  In the "Folder Options" window
  Click the 'view' if it is not already selected.
  In the list "Advanced settings" locate "hidden files and folders".
  Now click 'show files and folders '.
  Then, disable the following:
  "Hide empty drives in the computer folder.
  "Hide the extensions of the file types that you want to know."
  "Hide protected operating system files"

  Click on the "Apply" button and the OK"" button.
