Can I install win 8 64 bit OS on dv6936 laptop win vista 64 bit OS

I just purchased the HP Pavilliom 500 destop and would like to upgrade my laptop with desktop OS.
Can I install my hp Pavilion 500 PC win 8 64 bit OS on my hp pavillion dv6936 laptop win vista 64 bit OS

Hi Ibdman,
You cannot use the Pavilion 500 desktop recovery disks to upgrade the operating system on your HP laptop.
You would have to purchase either: a Win 8 retail upgrade or full install disc to change the operating system on your laptop.
If you are considering upgrading your laptop you should consider Win 7 64 bit instead of Win 8.

  • How can I install Win XP on Satellite U300-150 PSU30e

    How can i install win xp on U300-150 / Model : PSU30e
    I try to boot from CD Win XP SP2 but cannot not detect any HDD.
    How can i do it ?
    There is no option on bios for SATA support or IDE
    please help me

    Hey buddy
    You will not find any SATA or IDE settings in the BIOS. The problem is that you have not installed the SATA driver which is necessary to install the XP on this notebook.
    The key is Intel Matrix Storage Manger!
    The Storage Manager has to be included into the Windows XP OS during the setup procedure using the button F6.
    At the other hand you could include the Storage Manger using the free application called nLite.
    Search a little bit in this forum. There are enough threads and postings regarding this theme.

  • Can't install win 7 using boot camp in Lion

    Hi !
    help please!!
    i can't install win 7 (any version)  on my MBP 13", i'm running Lion and that's when it all started!
    had no problem  on SL using boot camp and win 7 but now my win 7 installation just stops on last
    install step screen and that screen is there forever...
    did my steps like i've always did it using snow leopard and now it just won't work...

    Are you trying to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7? I get exactly the same problem. I'm going to try the 32bit version and see how I get on. I don't think 64 bit is supported just yet.

  • Can I install Windows 7 (64 bit) on late 2013 edition of MacBook Pro?

    Can I install Windows 7 (64 bit) on late 2013 edition of MacBook Pro using Bootcamp? Before today, I would have never even asked this question due to the large number of users who continue to use Windows 7 in the PC world!  However, there seems to be two conflicting links on the Apple site.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3986
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    From the first link, there is a statement as follows: Mac Pro (Late 2013) only supports Windows 8 (64-bit).
    From the second link, the table (under MacBook Pro) clearly states that the Retina, 13 inch, late 2013 edition supports BOTH Windows 8 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit.
    So the above information is conflicting; and as a result, I am confused!  Thanks for any responses.

    As far as I am aware your computer supports Win 7 and Win 8 - 64-bit.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7
             or Windows 8.  For Boot Camp 4.0 and above you can only use
             Windows 7 or later. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Can't install win 7

    can't install win 7 iso file
    went in the bios to set cd/dvd first,didn't work

    Have you properly created the Windows disk from the iso?
    You do not simply copy the iso to disk, if that is what you did

  • Can I install Mountain Lion 64-bit over top of 32-bit version installed by mistake.  M/c is 24-inch mid 2007 iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (64-bit?)

    Can I install Mountain Lion 64-bit over top of 32-bit version installed by mistake.  Machine is 24-inch mid 2007 iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (64-bit?)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Mountain Lion is a full 64-bit operating system. Why do you think Mountain Lion is 32-bit in your computer?
    To check that you are definitely using a 64-bit operating system, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
    uname -a
    Then, tell us what you see at the end after RELEASE. If you see i386, you are running a 32-bit operating system. If you see x86_64, you are using a 64-bit operating system. Also, the processor of your Mac is 64-bit

  • Can I install a bigger hard drive on my HP Laptop dv9230us

    Can I install a bigger hard drive on my HP Laptop dv9230us

    Yes and in fact it can accept 2 hard drives. Any 2.5 inch wide SATA laptop hard drive 9.5 mm thick will work and those are available up to 1.5 TB I believe. To add a second hard drive you need a caddy and connector piece sold here:
    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=131
    There is a link on the page above which will lead you to installation instructions.
    If you can give us some idea of what you are looking to do, we can link you to specific places to buy drives at good prices.

  • We can't install Office 2013 64-bit on a Win 7 PC that had a 32-bit version of Office

    We have a development PC running Windows 7 64-bit. This PC has been around for a while, and way back had various 32-bit versions of Office installed, starting with Office 2003 through 2010. Those versions were uninstalled and Office 2013 Pro
    Plus 32-bit was the latest version installed. That version was uninstalled using Revo Uninstaller then the registry was cleaned using JV16 to make sure leftover junk from the prior 32 bit version(s) was removed so we could install Office 2013 x64
    Pro Plus, which we now need for testing. It won't install because the installer sees something left over from the prior 32 bit version(s). We can't wipe the PC and start over; it has special sensor hardware and software that we can't move to a different PC
    and we're on a tight timeline. We searched the registry and the Program Files (x86) folder and subfolders for anything left over from Office without any luck. The error message reads:
    We can't install the 64-bit version of Office because we found the following 32-bit
    programs on your PC:
    Please uninstall all 32-bit Office programs, then try reinstalling 64-bit Office.
    Note that the error message doesn't list the name(s) of any "32-bit programs on your PC" in the error message.
    Anybody have an idea how to force an installation of 64-bit Office 2013 Pro Plus?

    these tips will help you clean ALL of the bits and pieces of various Office versions you mentioned.
    It is not just Office, there are a few other 32 bit MS applications that may block 64 bit installations:
    Blocking and nonblocking Office applications in 64-bit installations
    If 32-bit Office applications are installed on a computer, a 64-bit Office 2010 installation is blocked by default. The following section (Applications that block a 64-bit
    Office 2010 installation) lists the applications that block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation. The next section (Applications that do not block a 64-bit Office 2010
    installation) lists exceptions; that is, applications that do not block the installation. In such cases, installation of 64-bit Office proceeds even if the listed 32-bit applications are installed on the computer.
    Applications that block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation
    The following applications block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation:
    Microsoft Office Excel Viewer
    Access database engine of Microsoft Access 2010
    Microsoft Office 2010 (Click-to-run)
    Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system
    Applications that do not block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation
    The following applications do not block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation:
    Microsoft Visual Studio Web Authoring Component 2007
    2007 Microsoft Office system 64-bit components
    Microsoft Office 2010 (OEM pre-installation)

    You can download wine from http://www.archlinux.org/packages/commu … /download/ but you need to make sure you have all the dependencies.
    pacman uses the first mirror from the list, so that mirror is probably outdated.
    BTW, why are you using 32-bit Arch? Maybe 64-bit would be better - you seem to have a nice new computer.
