  Even on Windows 64-bit, Firefox is a 32-bit application, then your data will be used. It is easier if the version is the same on both (for example, Firefox 3.6 to 3.6, Firefox 5 to 5).

  I am trying to upgrade Windows Vista Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 (64 bit) on an older machine.  In order to go forward the installation, I get the message that I need to uninstall the following programs: Business Manager and Anti-Malware Core.  I looked under "programs" and "programs" on my C: drive, but I can't find any progams by those names.

  Can someone tell me what I should look for, and where/how do I uninstall these files?

  What you have is a rogue malware. Get the free Malwarebytesand scan.  During installation, you will see one already ticked box (trial) enabled. Just uncheck that.

• Windows 7 32-bit Windows Vista

  Hello everyone

  I have a Satellite A500 - 15M, with a Windows 7 32 bit running on which has been upgraded from Windows Vista 32 - bit by Upgrade DVD from Toshiba sent me in January.

  I need to have my Windows 7 64 bit instead of 32 bit. I searched the internet on it, and I discovered that I can't do that unless I have a new copy of Windows, but the only disks I have are the Windows Vista RECOVERY DVD and the DVD of Windows 7 upgrade.

  Is it possible to get a new copy of Windows Vista 64-bit of my restore DVD, and then upgrade to Windows 7? Or do I need a DVD of 64-Bit Windows?

  I really appreciate your cooperation.

  Kind regards
  ALA'

  Hello

  According to specification for laptop, your laptop comes with Vista 32 bit and 64-bit dual boot.
  If you have created recovery disks it will be interesting to know how many DVDs to disc you have.

  For example, on my Satellite A500-157 I have 4 DVD discs. In other words, I have a recovery disc for 32 and 64 bit Vista. When you start the first DVD, you will be asked which version you want to install.
  Please check if it works also with your recovery discs.

  If you have this option install Vista 64-bit on your laptop and use subsequently updated DVD and try to upgrade to Win7 64-bit.

  If please test and let me know if it works for you.
  Based on your response, we will seek the next solution for you.

• Satellite U400 - update BIOS for Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64-bit

  I currently have Vista 32 bit on my U400. I intend to do a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit. I downloaded all the necessary drivers on the Toshiba site for the 64-bit Windows 7 update. I noticed there is a BIOS of Vista 64 bit driver. Do I need to install this before you proceed with the installation or after?

  So, is there a particular order to install all the drivers, utilities and applications?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  Normally, this update of the BIOS must be made. You will need to use all the features of your laptop.

  I have improved my U400 Vista 32 bit to Vista 64-bit. After this update I started the update of the BIOS. Everything worked properly during this procedure because I closed all programs that are running (also AntiVirus/firewall) and was registered as an administrator.

  About installation order I didn t find a specific list, so I used this command:
  -Chipset
  -Display
  -Sound
  -LAN
  -WLAN
  -Card reader

  First of all, make sure that your PC meets the requirements of Windows 7 - system Windows help

  You can buy Windows 7 from one of the major retailers who still like mainline, new egg, or Tiger Direct - Amazon but none is smaller that that if you want to be sure to get the real and not renovated or eBay!  If in doubt ask here before you buy, read the comments of the sales page for the experience of others.

  Once you have the disc, put it in the drive to make an update install with Windows 7 .  If you have a Vista factory install I would firstly follow these same steps to Clean Up Factory Bloatware that will optimize for a better upgrade.

  If this facility is not satisfactory, then do the vastly superior clean reinstall Windows 7

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

• 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

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  ____________________________________________________________

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

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

• Install Windows 7 64 bit and Vista 32 bit on the same drive

  I have Vista 32 bit installed on my laptop. Media recovery is on a recovery partition, I have no recovery DVD such as $85 for something that should be included with my expensive laptop anyway, it is a bit much

  I have a drive to upgrade Windows 7 from my laptop manufacturer that allows me to each upgrade or to start from scratch.

  I want to install Windows 7 64 bit on a separate partition for the installation of my 32-bit Vista, but when I boot on the DVD there is no option to select the 32 or 64 bit, it only allows me to install the 32-bit version. I have partitions installed correctly then they arnt the problem. If I try to boot from the recovery partition to install Vista 64 bit on a separate partition, to upgreade can leave, he simply don't say so, it doesn't allow the recovery or replacement of my existing Vista installation. Also, often when I boot to recovery mode, by organizing 0 start up, he simply waits some time and the Vista of boots in any case.

  How should I do to dual boot Windows 7 64 bit and Vista 32-bit, as all possible ways I have tried do not work, and I can't afford to buy the madmen of... Toshiba recovery media ?

  The 'disc Windows 7 from the manufacturer of your laptop upgrade' can be used to improve the qualification system of operating from 32-bit of Windows Vista that was originally installed on the laptop.  It cannot be used for any other configuration or purpose. Carey Frisch

  Actually, this isn't just a "upgrade drive" it's a full disc of Windows 7, I know that I can install full Windows 7 32 bit in a separate partition for Vista.

  The problem is solved in any case, I managed to hide my Vista (C) install with Acronis and boot to the WIndows 7 DVD. It then allowed me to install Windows 7 64 bit on the other Partition, because he did not think that 32-bit Windows Vista has been installed on the HARD drive. I managed to deceive it by showing the menu options of 32 bits or 64 bits in this way... I assumed it was a protection system put in place by Microsoft to stop upgrade problems if soemone tried upgrade Vista 32, Windows 7 64

  Now under Vista 32 and Widnws 7 64 on the same computer.

• 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

  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
