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.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit; they are different operating systems.

    It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

    First thing to do is to check with Sony to see if 64-bit drivers are available for your machine:

    Hello Lara.

    IF you have updated from 8 to 8.1 and the process was interrupted during installation, this may damage the disc and therefore locked error. "Refreshing" the system would not be the answer that you need to clean install Windows 8 again. 8.1 update can break the bond of the recovery partition, especially if it has become corrupted as indicated.

    You must clean up the installation with the recovery discs, you must have created before you updated to 8.1.

    In addition, if you do not have the recovery disks, you can buy a set of HP or install a regular copy of Windows 8 and then update the drivers manually. HP has the Windows key now integrated into the bios.

  • Upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit in earlier upgrade Vista 32 bit OEM

    I have searched this forum for an answer to my qusetion below but can't find descriobe my script, I hope someone here can help me understand if my upgrade is viable before you start along backup and the resettlement process.

    I bought my PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit OEM.

    When Windows 7 was launched I purchsaed the upgrade to Home Premium disc which included 32-bit and 64-bit.

    At the time many applications that I used was not compatible 64 bit so I simply upgrded to Windows 7 32 bit, I activated and have used since.

    I am now find my system a bit slow and the most cost-effective upgrade would be to increase my ram from 2 GB to 8 GB, but only if I can also move to 64-bit.

    What I read in other posts, the upgrade disks I have purchsed enabled me to move from 32-bit Vista either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7.

    My qusetion is:-

    Having already made the choice to upgrade my Vista 32 bit OEM for Windows 7 32 bit and activated this version, I can now reinstall using the same product keys but this time using the 64-bit installation disk?

    I hope I'm not alone here, and others will be tried this and can therefore confirm the result.

    Kind regards

    Robert

    You can use the key to existing product that you originally used to install and activate the Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit.

    Installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit will not necessarily make your computer faster however.

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7

    For information about how to modify your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, see the following tutorial:

    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Once your computer is configured to boot from the DVD, you should see this option.

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Vista suddenly takes an age to load and then keeps freezing

    Vista has suddenly become unusable. It takes an hour to load up and then keeps freezing. I added no any material or any other software on the computer, this just started happening. I perform checks for memory and use the repair utility, but nothing cures the problem. He also lost all the restore points, so I can't use it to restore to an earlier time.

    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane), select Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look in the event (Local) - Applications and Services - Microsoft - Windows - MemoryDiagnostic-results Viewer entered.

  • Recently, asks Windows to format my device in G: (SD card) and then he said: Windowns impossible to format.

    I've never had this problem before.  Still, I inserted my SD card then transferred my files from the same card in the same way as always.  He asks to format the device in the g and when I try, it says that Windows is unable to format... It is a huge problem for my work.  I tried an LPB SD card and the same thing is happening.

    Hello
     
    You cannot format a disk or partition that is currently in use, including the partition that contains Windows. It is a safety feature so that you cannot delete Windows by accident. To reformat your SD card, reboot your computer and try to format.
    Try SD card connection to another computer, backup the data and format the SD card.
     
    To format the G: try the following steps.
    1. open computer.
    2. right click on G: and Format.
    3. Select the NTFS file type, and then click format.
    4. click on ok.
     
    If the problem persists, connect the SD card to another port and verify its operation.
