How to upgrade windows 7 32 to 64

How do I upgrade From Windows 7-32 To Windows 64 in Boot camp?

Also 64 bit Windows allows you to address more than 3.5GB of RAM, if you don't have a machine capable of handling more than 4GB or it's a 32 bit Intel Core Duo processor, then don't bother.
Windows 7 64 bit requires a Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better, just like Lion does.
If your running Lion on your Mac then you can (and should) change to Win 7 64 bit.
If your machine can't be upgraded to Lion, the it's a Intel Core Duo 32 bit and you can't run Win 7 64 bit on it.

how to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard(OEM system Builder Pack)?

Hi,
Based on my experience, there is no upgrade path for OEM licensing. In addition, only SBS 2008 Standard can upgrade to SBS 2011 Standard, and there is no path to so
that from SBS 2011 Essentials. I am sorry to say that you may need a migration instead of an upgrade.

How to upgrade Windows 8 pro OEM to 8.1 pro for a home PC builder

Built a PC. bought Windows 8 Pro OEM and installed. don't need retail as I have never needed support before. Tried to upgrade to 8.1 but my licence is OEM (I have a COA), but it will not update through store. Advised that 'volume licences'
must consult system administrator. As I have agreed to the home PC builder agreement, then I am the administrator. Check through Microsoft and for Volume licences you can down load 8.1 upgrade from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center
(VLSC), but I have a single OEM licence so cannot access that route.
Can I ask if there is a way to upgrade to 8.1 or do I have to buy windows 8.1 OEM and install that.

COA Sticker says 'Windows 8 pro for oem software' then the product key

How to UPGRADE WINDOWS OS

Hello.....
   i have a l'il bit confusion with this. i have a b320 all in one desktop, which preloaded with windows 7 home basic 32bit os. now i want to upgrade the os, window 7 32 bit -to- windows 8 64 bit. and my confusion is " is it possible with this system?" If yes please guide me to this. pls reply.
  Thanks in advance....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello guys.......@bananaman and @exscentric thanks for the reply. @bananaman ur solution helped me a lot. my system processor is 64bit capable, now i can easily upgrade my operating system without confusion.
The solution is :-
To run a 64-bit version of Windows, your computer must have a 64-bit-capable processor. To find out if your processor is 64-bit-capable in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, do the following:
Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type Performance Information and Tools, and then, in the list of results, click Performance Information and Tools.
Do one of the following:
In Windows 7, click View and print detailed performance and system information.
In Windows Vista, click View and print details.
In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type, and whether or not you can run a 64-bit version of Windows under 64-bit capable. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.)
@exscentric..... thanx for the reply buddy but my desktop is not touchscreen.

How to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

I recently bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 utimate for my laptop, my laptop is new and Windows Vista pre-installed. I would like to know if I upgrade Windows 7 from this "Fresh", pre-installed vista, would this Windows 7 operate as good as the clean installed Windows 7?
I am not very clear how Vista upgrades to Windows 7, do Windows 7 upgrades based on the old Vista system? Or it will install a clean and new Windows 7 then only copy all the settings and programmes from old Vista?

Hi
Can you please tell us what Toshiba notebook you have exactly and what Vista version you have exactly (Home, Business, etc. and 32bit/64bit)?
Theoretically you can upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 but it must be same version. That means its only possible to upgrade from 32bit to 32bit and 64bit to 64bit.
If you want to upgrade you have to insert this disc and follow the screen instructions, thats all.

How to update a version 6.0 of Acrobat Reader Professional when upgrading windows XP to 8.1 ?

There is no product called Acrobat Reader Professional. There are two possibilities with different answers.
1. You have Acrobat Professional (no "Reader"). You will have to buy the latest, Acrobat 11 (XI) Pro. No upgrade pricing is available for version 8.
2. You have Adobe Reader (no "Professional"). You can download the latest free Adobe Reader http://get.adobe.com/reader

How to upgrade 5.0.1 executable to run on Windows XP?

I need to upgrade the OS on a standalone DAQ system to Windows XP.
This system is controlled by an executable created by LabVIEW 5.01 running on Windows 98.
I am not sure if we have the source code (i.e. LV vi's).
Can any one please tell me how to upgrade the system so that the LabVIEW 5.01 executable can run on Windows XP?
Thank you very much for your help.

I will try after backing up the entire system before trying it.
Another related question, if I can find the source code in LV 5.0.1, will I be able to upgrade it to the latest LV version if I buy the LV package, or do I expect problems?
I guess if it were me I'd just get a new compatible hard drive for the system (since they are so inexpensive these days) and swap it for the one with Win98. Install WinXP to the new drive and be sure that you are happy with the performance of the old machine under WinXP before proceeding. Then you can temporarily add the Win98 drive as an additional disk to the WinXP system and copy the files you need off of it and then set it aside again just in case you are not able to get the LabVIEW working. Swapping disk drives is MUCH faster and usually safer then creating and restoring backups. An alternate similar path is to add the new drive to the Win98 system and, using software like Norton Ghost, clone the Win98 system/disk to the new disk then pull out the old Win98 disk, boot off the cloned Win98 disk and upgrade that disk to WinXP. That way the old applications would exist under the new system and you may be able to run them without any further fuss.
The current version of LabVIEW should be able to read the old VI files. You could always download the demo and try it. As far as having problems, many people in general are not happy with one aspect or another of LabVIEW v8.0 and the patch to 8.0.1 certainly does not fix all the problems but if all you are doing is upgrading old code to run again under 8 then you'll probably be OK.
