Windows XP or XP Pro come in 32 and 64-bit programs?

I want to change my hard drive, because it is contaminated and is of insufficient capacity, I will need to reprogram the computer, installin a new o/s

The version of Windows XP Professional 64-bit was available in OEM version, it was available for small integrators but they were shipped for most or usually manufacturers of pc pre-installed on high-end work stations.

  • "The product key you entered has been blocked the use of Microsoft. I have a NEW Windows 7 Ultimate package of software with 32 and 64 bit and cannot activate it.

    I have a computer built house with an AMD Phenom II X 3 Black Edition CPU and an ASUS M4A78T-E motherboard.  I originally had Vista 32 bit Ultimate Win7 installed and running and has purchased and researched and installed the 64 bit version and received a message that the key has been blocked by Microsoft.  I contacted the person I bought the package from and he has verified that the key is good with Microsoft.

    Because of the problems I had with Win7 has decided to install Win XP Pro and take care of some pressing issues I use this computer for work and staff as well.  After taking care of business, I decided to give him another chance, but did not delete my XP Pro problems with Win7.  I used GPart to create another partition on my hard drive and installed Win 7 64 bit on it so that it forms and allocate unallocated space.  I have re-installed Win 7 again with the same error code during activation.

    One thing I read on this forum, is that if you use Vista format the HDD it hold the 'TOUCH' or some software folder in the BIOS and then put back on the hard disk after that he was done and I was wondering if there is a way to get this key removed to use it?

    What is the difference of windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit programs.

    Original title: * bits *.

    64 bit 32 vs

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

    My PC running the 32-bit version or 64-bit Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

    Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.

    Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller. Also, if you decide to switch to Windows 7 64 bit in the future, there is no way to upgrade from 32-bit Windows, clean install only.

    Can I run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit computer?

    Most programs designed for a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows running on a computer running 64-bit Windows versions. The notable exceptions are many antivirus programs, and some hardware drivers.

    Drivers designed for 32-bit versions of Windows do not work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows. If you try to install a printer or other device that only has 32-bit drivers available, it won't work correctly on a 64-bit version of Windows. For information on updating drivers and troubleshooting issues with device drivers for 64 bit versions of Windows, contact the manufacturer of the device or program.

    I would be using a 64-bit computer?

    The benefits are more obvious when you have a large amount of RAM (RAM) installed on your computer, typically 4 GB of RAM or more. In this case, because a 64-bit operating system can handle large amounts of memory more efficiently as a 32-bit, 64-bit operating system can be more responsive when you run several programs at once and switching between them frequently.

    If I am running a 64-bit version of Windows, I need 64-bit drivers for my devices?

    Yes. All devices devices need 64-bit drivers to work on a 64-bit version of Windows. Drivers designed for 32-bit versions of Windows do not work on computers running 64-bit Windows versions.

    To learn how to check for drivers, see update a hardware driver that is not working properly or go to the website of the manufacturer of the device. You can also get information about drivers by going to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor website.

    Hello

    Laughing out loud

    Just a single license of Windows.

    You can choose which version you want to install 32-bit or 64-bit; but not as well installed.

    If you want to change the version of bits at a later date, you will need to backup your data and do a clean install.

  • How can I add a previously installed windows on my mac pro installation

    Hi guys, everything becomes to collect my newly bought mac pro 3.1 (used). I'm moving PC, but how do I add my existing installation of windows on my mac? The mac pro is 3.1 and has 2 x 500 GB disks in a raid 1 TB configuration. It's just a matter of plugging my windows disk (I'm guessing No.) or is it a bit more complex than that? Any help or advice will be appreciated and hope to give back as much help as I get that I'm learning. Thank you

    You can install Windows on a Mac computer using Boot Camp Assistant or by using a Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox virtual machine natively. Refer to the instructions of Boot Camp located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/. OT If using a virtual machine see the instructions located on the Parallels, Fusion or VirtualBox sites.

    In both cases you can not use a PC already existing installation of Windows. You need to reinstall Windows on your Mac.

    No anti-virus installed at the present time, no anti-spyware, no firewall.

    Repost: What were the problems you are experiencing that you thought that a "new facility" could solve?

    The foregoing notwithstanding, and since you neglected to install an antivirus application...

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  • Win7 Pro 64-bit stuck at 65% extraction of Windows files (Apple MacBook Pro retina)

    Having difficulties to install Win7 Pro 64 bit on a MacBook Pro Apple retina; whenever he gets stuck to the extraction of files Windows (65%).

    To install Windows, I followed the official instructions from Apple (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468), and in short, I used BootCamp to create installation files USB from an ISO (which worked on before Windows PC).

    The MBP has restarted and Windows Setup has started, asking to specify language settings and usual keyboard. I then formatted the partition of the hard drive and began the installation process.

    Copying Windows files works very well but as I say it is stuck in the extraction of files Windows (65%).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    For Info:

    The MBP's only got USB3.0 ports.

    I used a USB 2.0, USB 2.0 hard drive and a USB3.0 stick. All had exactly the same result.

    I tried different partitions of sizes from 20 GB to 70 GB. All had exactly the same result.

    I tried following some online articles to change regarding the "boot.wim" to include pilots USB3.0 to overcome this problem, but this does not seem to have made a difference.

    Apple tell me that, like the partition was created and the Windows installation has started, it must be a Windows problem not Apple.

    Any help is welcome.

    Thank you!

    I gave to install another go this morning.

    Started from scratch and went back through the entire process of bootcamp, but also actually one patch driver USB3.0 (modify the boot.wim file)

    This time, it worked. I can't say it was definitely the fix (happened to use a USB3.0 drive to a USB3.0 port) but it got blocked only at 65% for 10-15 minutes, then stuck at 96% for 5-10 minutes.

    The rest of the installation went well after that.

    I FOUND THE SOLUTION!

    1. go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US

    2. go to halfway to the bottom of this page and select the computer on which you have. For me it was the MacBook Pro.

    3. click on the link that identifies your computer and a grid opens that displays the different Mac models and operating systems. The grid will determine what version of Bootcamp your computer needs.

    4. click the version within the grid link and it takes you to the appropriate download page.

    5. download the bootcamp on a FAT32 formatted the flash drive, then expand all files.

    6. open the main folder, then the folder drivers and find the right driver for your sound and reinstall. For me, it was the record of Cirrus. There was a 32-bit and 64-bit. I reinstalled 64 bit and then tested my sound and it works!

    I'm not really a computer guy, but I just kept trying different options and it is the one that worked for me. I hope it will work for you! I think that the steps listed above are accurate, but they could be just a touch off or something. I don't want to reproduce the entire sequence by fear to play something else.
