Can I reinstall 7 Home Premium in 64-bit on my new M58 7244?

I just bought an M58 7244 Saturday but haven't taken it out of the box yet. I would like to take full advantage of the 3 remaining open RAM slots and wondered how I could reinstall Home Premium 7 in 64-bit mode? Can you tell me step-by-step how to do so? 
Thanks for any insight anyone can give me!

Hello Barry,
ThinkCentre M58 usually comes with two kind of processors
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor E2200, 2.2GHz
Intel® Pentium® Core 2 Duo Processor E7300, 2.66GHz\
Both the processors are compatible with 64bit Operating System.
There is no different process to install 64bit Operating System.
You should 64bit Operating System installation disc and then boot the system with the disc, follow the onscreen instructions.

Tanuj

  • Can i use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM for bootcamp?

    Someone suggested to use
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM for bootcamp.
    Can i use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM to use in bootcamp to install windows 7 on my mac book pro 13 inch?
    thank you.
    PS: i bought my macbook pro 3 weeks ago.
    Also, is there any other windows 7 installation CD that is cheaper?
    thank you.

    Yes.
    OEM just means that the Windows OS is dedicated to that computer only. If you sell, replace or throw away the computer you use it on, the Windows CD/DVD goes along with it. (According to the Licensing dialog)
    Just do a Yahoo/Google search for prices is the only way to find it cheaper. Or keep an eye on your favorite web store for sales.
    If you are in college and have an .edu e-mail account thru the college then Microsoft has it for about $30 US. And other deals also.

  • Satellite L355D-S7901 (PSLE8U-02P01D) s/n ********* - Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit

    Long story short; back in February of last year, some "Shop" downstate replaced the HDD in this unit, and evidently installed from a "Master" disk (Non-tosh); failed to install the Tosh model specific drivers, and didn't dupe the old HDD (which was apparently only failing, not yet failed), so no Recovery partition or recover disks, either home-made or Tosh.
    First question (since Toshibas phone support may as well not exist, and the Recovery set purchasing page doesn't provide answers until AFTER the purchase); how fast is expidited fulfillment within CONUS?
    Q2:  Is there a machine/model specific list of the latest drivers/utilities/Apps?  
    The support page is kludgy at best and seems to list ALL drivers since day one for all variations of a given model.  I'd rather not spend the time weeding through ALL of them to find just those that apply.
    I've salvaged all of the data, and I'm pig-headedly trying to clean this beast up and replace corrupted files, but failing the ability to do an "in-place upgrade" for repair purposes (as in XP), it may come to doing a fresh install.
    This individual has to head back off to her university by month's end, so I'm up against it without the Recovery set.
    TIA!

    What are you upgrading to/from? As you say, you have a store bought Windows Vista install disk(s). Also, it appears as if you have Vista OS already on the laptop. Maybe I'm missing something.
    The existing installation of Vista Home Premium SP2 on the HDD that is mostly functional needs some repairs and "sfc /scannow" can't do those repairs because the recovery partition was not recreated when some putz replaced the HDD nearly a year and a half ago.
    It's not truly an "upgrade" as such; that's just the term used.
    I'm wanting to do what's known as an "in-place upgrade"; essentially, it simply replaces the Windows files without affecting your existing applications or data, at least that's how it worked with previous versions of Windows.
    You're simply directing it to upgrade your Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit to Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit, repairing itself along the way.
    You then need to do all Windows updates that succeeded the printing of THAT DVD and reregister, but that's a minor nuisance.
    From the image you have provided, it appears as if the Vista installation disk does not recognize the hd on the laptop, and is asking for a driver so it can detect it. 
    Precisely!  I need to know what the name of that driver for this particular model Toshiba is so that I can download it, feed it to that prompt, and proceed from there, but the driver d/l page for this Tosh doesn't appear to list anything specifically for the AHCI controller (at least nothing that I can discern).
    What happens if you have the Vista install disk in the drive and you start your laptop? You can use the Windows install disk to do a repair (is that what you are trying to do?). 
    That will supplant the current installation, not repair it!  All of the existing data, settings, and applications will be erased.  You can only perform an "in-place upgrade" from within Windows.

  • Adding a network printer to a Vista Home Premium Edition 64-bit laptop

    I have a Deskjet 5150 printer conntected to a desktop running on Windows XP.  It is set up as a shared network printer.  When I attempt to add this networked printer to my laptop has Vista Home Premium  Edition 64-bit OS, I get a message that states "The server for the 'hp deskjet 5100 series' printer does not have the correct printer driver installed.  If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK."  I can not find the *.INF file that is needed.  I have downloaded the proper driver to the desktop and my laptop, but I do not know where to "browse" in order to locate the file. 

    Hope this helps, it worked for me
    I used the shared printer name "printer" in printer propertys for mine.
    Alternative method 1. 1. Click on the Windows icon>>Start Search>>Type printers and press enter. 2. Click on 'Add Printer'. 3. Click on 'Add a local printer'. 4. Click on 'Create a new port:'. 5. Do not change the 'Type of port:'. By default it is selected as 'Local Port'. Let it remain the same. 6. Click on 'Next'. 7. In the small 'Port name:' window, type the following under 'Enter a port name:'
      NOTE: The names should be exactly the same. They are case sensitive.
      \\computer name\printer name   
      For instance: If computer name is 'John' and printer name is 'HPprinter', you have to type the exact name with all the characters including spaces. Hence in this case it would be the following:
    \\John\HPprinter
    8. Click on OK.  9. Click on Next and complete the Wizard. (It will now install the printer and driver) I used the 7400 series driver for my 7550 but it works.10. Try to print a Windows test page and check the printer functionality. 1 Click on the Start icon on your Desktop.2.Select Control Panel.3.Double click on the Printer icon.4.Select and Right click on HP Photosmart 7550 Printer series icon.5.Click on Properties.6.In the Properties Windows click on Print Test Page Tab it will start printing a Windows Test Page

    3.Remove the system variables you've set: JAVA_HOME, JAVA_VENDOR, and remove the %JAVA_HOME%\bin from the path system variable.
    4.Run the installer as follows:

    Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone! 
    I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
    Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
    They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
    I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
    However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes.

  • Reinstall W7 Home Premium on a new drive

    I have to replace the har drive on this desktop as the original one has failed.  I will need to reinstall the OS (Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit).  Windows was originally preinstalled on the drive when purchased so I do not have original install disks but I have found a set of HP recovery disks which I'm pretty sure are from this computer.  My other computer is also an HP but is W8.1. I have located a product key and tried to see if I could download a fresh copy of W7 but the product key is not the usual I expected to see.  One of the groups of characters is "OEM" which I know is an indication that it was installed by HP.  I got this key off the system screen before I removed it from service.  What approach should I be taking when I get a new drive for this machine for installing Windows?

    As far as I know, HP will not assist with that.  M$ response is typical, to defer to the manufacturer.  I will tell you there are other ways to accomplish this, however.  You can buy a retail Windows 7 install disk from another place than M$.  Assuming the Windows 7 is Home Premium on the COA, you can borrow a Windows 7 Home Premium disk  from a friend, use the disk to intall Windows 7 and then use the COA key to activate.  Make sure to get what you want, IE 32Bit or 64Bit  Also,  before you start and download all the drivers from the HP download site and save them to a flash drive or a CD/DVD.BTW: since I have my own install disk, I cannot comment on this seller but it would seem it could be OK, after reading the description: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WINDOWS-7-Ultimate-Starter-Home-Basic-Premium-Pro-32-64-Bit-SP1-ReINSTALL-DVD-/252026259505?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aadef8831What they are selling you could have made on your own, if you had the download from M$ before they pulled it from the servers.

  • [24" Imac, 10.5.3] Can't install Vista Home Premium on Boot Camp

    I'm having problems getting Boot Camp to run Vista.
    I set up a 32 GB Boot Camp partition with Boot Camp Assistant, and encountered no problems. Stuck in my full version of 32-bit Vista Home Premium (includes SP1), and then continued with the installation. iMac reboots, drive spins, and then all I'm left with is a black screen with a dos cursor blinking in the upper left corner. Doesn't respond to keyboard or mouse input. Will reboot into OS X no problem. Below is a list of the things I've tried to resolve the problem, but non have made any difference.
    * Booted from Vista DVD while holding down "c"
    * Turned off wireless Mighty Mouse & rebooted
    * Plugged MS wired mouse into keyboard & rebooted
    * Removed all attached USB and FireWire peripherals & rebooted
    * Ran Boot Camp Assistant, deleted partition, created new 32 GB partition, rebooted
    * Ran Boot Camp Assistant again, deleted partition, created 60GB partition, rebooted
    * Consulted apple.com/support/bootcamp and found nothing helpful
    * Consulted Support Discussions and could not find any threads dealing with the problem I'm experiencing
    Does anyone know how to solve this pesky problem? Advice and suggestions welcome.
    Thanks,
    R

    I would never go back to Vista, forums are where people ask for help. If you looked at the Leopard OS X forum you would definitely never want to upgrade or use Safari or TimeMachine or worry what the next Security Update or to iTunes harbors.
    Upgrading from Vista is supported but backup first, and a clean install is always going to be best. And the same goes for even Tiger to Leopard. Also needs to be the same 32 or 64-bit, going from one to the other is not supported.
    Some systems, and keyboards and such, are better supported than others. Windows 7 has support for a wide range of current hardware already.

  • I am using a windows 7 home premium desktop 64 bit

    At present I am using a HP pavilion Elite desktop PC, windows 7 64 bit, I am not sure if I should upgrade this or just buy a new windows 8, I purchased a windows 8 Notebook for my spouse but found it lacking in that it does not come with media center or Lightscribe, or Microsoft works that I use a lot.
    What would be involved to upgrade this PC or would it be easier just to buy a new one, and can I get the features I like installed on a new computer.Any suggestions would be appreciated ,thanks.

I really do not like windows 8, we purchased a notebook earlier this year and came with a 2 year warranty which I really like but a lot of the programs that I use often are not included in windows 8, I like windows media player, media center, Microsoft office task manager, these items are an upgrade in windows 8.
    I only use it for home use but not sure how long Microsoft is going to support windows 7 or I would just upgrade my home premium, I am hopeing to keep the system current as being retired cannot repurchase every 2 or 3 years, printers are pretty cheap to purchase and the one I purchased at the same time photosmart plus B209a is still going strong but my new 7510e has been a nightmare.I do not do gaming on my computer but like to do photo's and other projects and want lots of room and speed which is the reason for  the 1 TB HD.
    Considering how long Windows XP was supported, I can safely say that Windows 7 will be around and supported by Microsoft for a number of years to come.
    There are no Windows 8 driver on the web support portal in the driver download section for your   Pavilion Elite HPE-150f  desktop PC.  That should be a prime consideration in the upgrade or replace decision. Your current system is fine, but given the fact that it is from the 2009 models, for safety of data and your peace of mind, I recommend upgrading it within a year. Four to five years for a home PC is a reasonable product lifecycle expectation.  After that It may or may not run as expected. It would be also a good idea to save your photos to an external disk. If you buy a new PC with Windows 8 Pro as the operating system, then Media Center is included in the purchase.
    The media center upgrade for the notebook running Windows 8 is relatively inexpensive, but not free. You can download and use the Microsoft Office 2013 starter version for free. It is the replacement for Microsoft Works.

  • Can I install Vista Home Premium 64-Bit on my Satellite U400?

    Hi
    In another thread I posted a problem regarding no rescue disk for the pre-installed OS Grrr....
    Anyway, I am thinking of upgrading the OS to 64-bit - does anyone know if this is possible on the Satellite U400? I checked the processor specs on Intel website and it seems the processor can....but what about the rest of the machine?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Well, yes. You should take a hardware inventory from Sysinfo or device manager and then for each specific devie locate and download a driver.
    When you uprade to Vista 64 bit, then any driver not found during the install can be acquired from your download. Vista is usually well equipped with drivers, except for Toshiba proprietary devices.

  • Can't reinstall iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit machine, tried everything

    Hi, I've followed the threads fromb noir and others with similar errors and 'no joy'   Here is my situation:
    I have a windows 7 64 bit machine that I upgraded from Windows XP.  I upgraded about a year ago, no problem.  I got an iPhone (love it) and was synching to my windows machine for months, no problems.  Not sure what the trigger was (think it was an iTunes SW update) but I started getting error messages and the phone would no longer synch.
    I uninstalled itunes, then when I tried to reinstall I got different errors.  I googled the error message and related ones, and tried the following:
    - I ran the fix for Windows Update. It said it resovled problems, but it is still behaving strange.  It shows successful updates, but when I ask it to check for new updates, it just keeps looking and never completes.  In the background, it appears to be actually making updates which it shows as successfully installed.
    - I updated the C++ redistributable package and the .NET package from the MSFT website.
    - I've uninstalled all the components of Apple several times, tired the trick of deleting the previously downloaded components and updated manually, etc.
    Here is the first message I get when I try to install Itunes64Setup.
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft VC80.CRT,type="win32",version = "8.0.50727.6195".publick key token = 1fc8b3b9ale18e3b.processor architecture = "x86". Please refer to help and support for more information. HResult:0x8007002
    Appreciate any help or guidance - hoping to avoid having to reinstall Windows again.

    Can someone please respond to my request for support?  I tried the provided correct answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/11561783#11561783  but it did not work. 
    I also got a MSFT tech support person to remotely look at my machine, for what its worth, he said the registry file is fine and to contact Apple support.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
