Computers came with Windows 7 64-bit and we need Windows 7 32-bit

Our company purchased 5 IdeaCentre K300 computers from a big blue retail store. The computers came with W7 64-bit Home Premium preinstalled. We also purchased 5 Windows Anytime Upgrade PIN's allowing us to upgrade to W7 Professional so we can add these computers to our domain. We have several products that launch from domain share and won't work with the 64-bit OS and running in XP mode just flat out doesn't work (for those apps). The person who purchased the computers was told the computers contain both 64-bit and 32-bit W7 Home Premium and we can switch to the 32-bit version by using the OneKey Recovery utility then run the Windows Anytime Upgrade. I booted one of the computer several time and pressed the F2 key when the Lenovo logo appeared and only have one option, the 64-bit version.
How do I obtain the 32-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium for these computer?
Thanks in advance,
Solved!

it's not possible to switch windows 32 <> 64 bit by performing clean windows installation ( with one key recover )
you need to install clean windows installation. download legal windows iso from the link below, then make a clean installation for your computer, for activation, use online activation or call microsoft.

ps: make sure you download 32 windows. and burn recovery discs before clean windows installation, just in case.
you can download drivers from the link below:

edit:
windows anytime upgrade pin's allowing us to upgrade to w7 professional
you may select windows 7 32 bit while upgrading windows. so you won't need to download/install windows 7 from legal iso.

Can I install Windows 7 on a GT70 2OD-019US that came with Windows 8?

I have a GT70 2OD-019US, that came with Windows 8. I want to install Windows 7 instead, and forget about the trauma of Win8.
My Win 8 isn't the type that offers the downgrade.
I just want to know can (and how) I install Win 7 Home Premium from a legit disc.
I'm reasonably tech savvy, but a beginner when it comes to playing around with the OS.

Thanks in advance for all assistance!

Thanks Nichrome and darkhawk. I'll try booting from the disc using Legacy.
I hadn't heard of Start8 - it looks good, if I end up keeping Win8 it'll be worth the few bucks to make it feel like Win7.
It's what I did, and honestly, outside of the 'looks' of Windows 8, it makes it feel like Windows 7 enough that it's worth the $5.

I have a large video on my ipad that I need to transfer to my PC (a window 7). I could also use a windows 8 if that would help. But all of the applications I have tried do not see this large video (52 mins) even though they transfer smaller videos fine. The ipad will not let me trim the video, saying it is too large. This is true even though I only want to trim the original, and not create a new video. (Actually it refuses before it gets to the choice of creating something new or just eliminating something from the original). I have been to an Apple store, but the people there only could recommend that I try some alternate applications to do the transfer (Kodak EasyShare). I don't have much faith this will work. I think I have this application on an old PC, and it is not something I want on my new computers.
Is it possibled the size of this video just violates the transfer formats for files over USB? If so, I will just delete the video and move on. But the video is really something I wanted to save. I would be happy to eliminate most of the video, but the ipad will not let me trim it.
I also tried to import the video with Windows Moviemaker (free with W7). It also does not see this file, but works fine on the other videos on the ipad.

Cannot use isight camera with Windows 7 x32 on Macbook mid-2009

Very very weird,
it worked until bootcamp was upgraded mid next year.
I have been looking for a solution siunce then.
Wife is using the notebook and she is mad every time she is answering call from Skype or MSN Messenger she needs to reboot into Lion.
She uses Windows 7 x32 on bootcamp most of the time yet she cannot use the camera.
The camera shows grey and freezes wiuth busy mouse cursor.
booting intro Lion works so it is something with the drivers.
Can anyone help?
I have looking for months already and I did not see solutions...
Andrea

Issue Fixed.
BootCamp 3.2 - 3.3 breaks the functionality with Windows 7 at the latest patch level.
The fix has been:
upgrading OSX to Lion
Patch to latest release
Go To Boot Camp Assistant
Download Windows Support Files to Jump Drive (second option I believe it is)
Reboot into Windows 7
Run Setup - BootCamp 4.0 will install
Reboot
Launch Skype or MSN Messenger - ISight will magically work again!

Is it possible to set up a dual boot on a computer that came with Windows 7 ? Would like to add Vista .

Had to buy a new computer with windows 7. Found out later that one of my programs will only work with vista or later OS.
Is it possible to add Vista to my new computer?

CA
If your app will only work on vista OR LATER it should work in win 7 as win 7 is later. What is the app and what is the problem?

My iphone 6 came with numbers, Keynote, Pages, imovie and itunes U and none of them work. Any thoughts?

My new Iphone6 came with the numbers app and a few others that don't seem to work. When I touch them they open and then close immediately. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey there wpfarms,
If I understand correctly some apps seem to minimize on their own as soon as you tap them. I would recommend starting by quitting all the running apps first:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I currnently own a Macintosh computer with Creative Suite Master collection and I need help

I own a Macintosh computer with Creative Suite master collection and I just recently bought a Windows 8 computer that I want to use Creative Suite on also, I do not want to buy a brand new product as I have proof of ownership on my Creative Suite, is there ANY way I can get around buying a new product? I own the item for Mac I just want it for windows also, any answers will be appreciated!

It depends. If it's a CS6 suite you can apply for a platform change to Windows free of charge, but you terminate your Mac license.
CS5, you would pay an upgrade fee and be able to change the license.
CS4 and below... you have no options other than buying a Full Windows version of CS6.

I just purchased a brand new macbook air 11", however mountain lion is not currently installed (came with 10.7)...do I need to purchase mountain lion or could I get it from apple for free?

I just purchased an11" Macbook Air. It came with 10.7 OS, can I get the upgrade to 10.8 from apple of do I have to purchase upgrade?

You should be able to get it free.

Latest version of Window 7 FireFox came with malware including Unico browser and tons of other malware. Mac version seems to be fine. Has anyone else seen this?

I have been using FireFox for awhile now on both a Mac and Windows 7 computer and have loved it. It has been updated to the latest version by your request many times in both formats with no problems; until now. The Windows computer just asked me to undate to version. I went directly to Mozilla.org and it had 'Firefox Setup Stub 37.0.1.exe. When I opened this, I immediately got a blast of more nasty malware and viruses than I had ever previously experienced. I deleted all those unwanted programs that had downloaded; removed all the malware and viruses. Firefox worked for a minute before all this different malware and pop-ups and viruses started again. I then repeated everything and also removed firefox and the PC worked fine with a different browser.
I then tried a second time to a different Mozilla site that included US firefox in the website name and started over. Same thing happened again. These unwanted programs included Unico Browser and dozens of other that are very nasty. If you click on anything, they download a dozen other programs. If you go to control panel and remove them, they download 6 or eight new unwanted programs. I finally got all the malware, viruses and pop ups removed when I also removed Mozilla Firefox. I can only conclude that the latest version for Windows is corrupted. Any thought or recommendations? For now, I am back to using a different browser on the PC.

Let's try this last thing:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Using iPod on two computers: one with Windows and one on a Mac

I have a video iPod that I have used with iTunes on a Dell PC, but I recently bought a MacBook and want to still use this iPod on the new computer. I have the iPod set to "manually update music and videos," so it won't erase all my music. Is it possible to use the iPod on the new computer, or is there anything I can do? I haven't tried anything yet because I don't want to plug in the iPod and then have my music erased. Thanks for the help.

As long as the ipod has been formatted on the windows computer and it is in manually manage, you are fine. If you ever need to update or restore the ipod do it on the windows computer. Mac can read a windows ipod, windows cannot read a mac ipod. You will also need to authorize the mac if you want to play any purchased content.

Using integrated camera with Windows Live Messenger

Hello everyone
I've just got a MacBook Pro and wondered if anyone could tell me how to use the camera facility with MSN please?
Many thanks.

... work with any version of windows live messenger?
MSN Messenger for Mac does not support video except via Office Communications Server 2007 (usually paid for by commercial enterprises rather than individual users). However, it is possible to video with your friends who use the PC version of the MSN Messenger family of apps. Here are a couple of ways you can try:
(1) As suggested by Defcom, take a look at aMSN and Mercury
Either can do webcam video with your built-in iSight.
They work a bit differently, so use whichever you find easiest or most reliable on your MBA.
(2) As an alternative, because your iNtel Mac can use Boot Camp, VMware Fusion™, or Parallels™ to run Windows® software, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software to your iNtel Mac (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows® Messenger application that your contacts are using to video chat with them.
The Windows drivers for your built-in iSight and your other Mac hardware are on the disk with Boot Camp so, after you have installed Windows, you can install the iSight driver and use your built-in iSight if you like. If you need more help on this, search or post in Boot Camp discussions category
(3) If your friends are willing to try something "new and improved" (does NOT work with Messenger):
you can both install and try a different video chat app such as Google Talk or Skype.
