Z61t upgrades to allow windows 7 64 bit?

I have a z61t - 9441 CTO

I didn't think far enough (UM, I was at little cost) when I bought, so it was only a Core Duo (T2400) right now. I'd love to upgrade to Windows 7, but it seems that I can only run the 32-bit version with this CPU. Because I like to keep this laptop for a while, I am considering the upgrade, and I have a few questions:

1. based on this page (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2_Duo_%28Merom%29 ) I think I can adapt Core 2 Duo Merom in the laptop... Anyone know if all Meroms listed as compatible with the z61t are the same socket (Socket M) - or if this model had different motherboards available for different processors? I.e. a C2D Merom will fit?

2 can. a person I would be able to run Windows 7 64 - bit, if I upgraded the CPU to a Core 2 Duo? Y at - it something else in the laptop that is not compatible with 64 bit Win7?

You can use the T7xxx or the T5xxx Merom CPUS, only the socket M version will work.

The T5xxx and T7xxx CPU supports 64-bit and Virualisation VT technology), which allows you to use the XP emulation mode in some versions of Win 7.

Core Duo supports VT but not 64-bit.

    Hello

    Check with your system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for custom systems) to see if your computer
    can run Windows 7. If so check to see if it can run 64-bit which has higher minimum
    requirements than 32-bit. Finally check to see if the hardware upgrades that you make will be
    work in this computer. Don't forget if you spend a lot of money on upgrades, you may have
    but could a new computer for the same price. And then you'd have two systems.

    need 64-bit drivers (and the system must be able to run this version of Windows 64-bit).

  • Please upgradeing question Help windows 7 64 bit

    My problem is that I have a 32-bit version of windows 7 but I canoe use all the hardwre due to limitations of the operating system.  I'm moving to windows 7 64 bit.  Major problem is that I can't upgrade BOF 32-bit to 64-bit, I get an error that says this version of windows is not compatible with possibly hardware or operating system.  How can I fix?

    You must do a custom installation, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Your applications will need to be reinstalled, you will also need 64-bit drivers.

    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.

    The controller is parallel LSI. I managed to solve the problem with a little to manipulate the operating system. I had to make some registry changes (system32\config\...) and reboot several times, that upgraded with little success. Then I had to upgrade a Windows 2008 to windows 2008! Yet one more time to work things out. I know it sounded strange. At the moment he works and as I mentioned the current controller is parallel LSI. Thanks for your reply.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks

    Hey Buddy,

    I think you need to uninstall the ATI Catalyst (display driver) driver because the version is too old and is not compatible with Vista. You can uninstall the display driver in Control Panel > uninstall the software. There you should find a list with all installed programs and drivers.

    New display driver, you can download on the official website of Toshiba:

  • Can I use a key to upgrade Windows 7 32 - bit for the upgrade to Vista 64 - bit, 7 64-bit, with a 64-bit upgrade disc?

    It's a bit complicated, but I appreciate all help.

    I have the following:
    1. access to a genuine copy of Windows Vista 64-bit (regardless of the version I want) through IEEE Computer Society.
    2. a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade disc purchased through a program of student software in 2010. Shortly after using the disk and the key, the laptop I was using died due to hardware problems.
    3. a drive to upgrade Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit bought via the same pattern of student software, including an unused key.
    Student software system only allows users to buy a copy of each version, so I can't buy it simply another copy of the 64-bit version.
    I wonder if it is possible to use the key of the 32-bit version with the version 64-bit upgrade disk to upgrade a 64 bit Windows Vista installation to Windows 7? If this is not the case, unfortunately, I'll be stuck with Vista.

  • ITunes skipping after upgrade to clean boot of Windows 7 64 bit HP Pavilion m9500y

    I recently updated my m9500y to vista 64-bit home premium to windows 7 Professional via an upgrade to boot. Since the update iTunes ignores intermittently. Can I close iTunes and reopen it and it will play OK no problem jumping. Sometimes it takes to open and close the program several times before that it will play correctly no problem jumping.

    I won't have the same problem with Windows Media Player as I've seen in other posts on this and other forums for the problem of Itunes jump.

    I completely uninstalled iTunes such as recommended by HP before you perform the upgrade to windows 7 and I have all the HP windows 7 and the Microsoft updates, including the drivers and firmware.

    I even tried to uninstall completely the 9.2.1 64-bit version of itunes, including registry keys and installed the previous version of Vista 64 bit which worked perfectly before the upgrade. However, I still had the same problem.

    Just in case my driver realtek HD audio version 6.0.1.5910. I do music professionally and HP Smart Media and Windows Media Player simply do not cut it. I have my iTunes works properly all the time.

    This is the only problem that I have. Everything else works perfectly.

    I did the same windows 7 Professional upgrade exactly the same way on my Inspiron 1545 Dell 64 bit machine and I do not have the itunes problem to jump on this machine. I hope someone has a solution.

    I think, with all posts on this problem on this and other boards of the HP HP machines he owes to its clients to have their engineers and programmers reach a solution. I spent at least 50 hours on the problem.

    Thanks for the suggestions, however, neither worked. However, all is not lost. I finally found the solution and cause, and the problem is solved. It turns out that some third-party modules were cause of conflict with itunes. I found this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US to Apple support.

    I give detailed instructions on the way which we MSCONFIG to solve conflicts in Windows Vista and 7, which could be the cause of problems with iTunes. After change startup programs and services, then by adding them one at a time after restarting whenever I finally was able to hide the indentify the third specific add on that was originally my itunes jump like a needle to jump on a vinyl record when the weight of the pick-up arm is set to lowest.

    In my case, it's a tool bar add-on in my Explorer window.

    I also checked the other this fix from Apple and would suggest that anyone having a problem with itunes to jump or other problems itunes with Windows 7 to do both. One of the link above and this one: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1362

    So, the bottom line is the problem of: Itunes to jump after Windows 7 64 bit clean upgrade HP Pavilion m9500y, boot IS NOW RESOLVED.
