Install windows 8 64bit on 64bit architecture tablet(acer iconia w4-820) by removing the preloaded 32bit windows 8.1 or dual boot

Hi,
I need to install windows 8 64bit on a 64bit architecture Tablet(acer iconia w4-820) by removing the preloaded 32bit windows 8.1 or should make it as dual boot. For a project purpose.
I tried booting the tablet from windows 8 64bit DVD for installation but it does't even detect the DVD Drive. when i insert the recovery DVD which came with acer it gets detected. 
The windows 8 64bit DVD which am trying to install is volume licensed which we use to install on our laptops. That works fine with Laptops.
Is their any different version of windows 8 do i need to try for installing on Tablet(acer iconia w4-820) or where am i going wrong.
Thank for your help. 

SM
DISCLAIMER.  I would contact Acer about this to be safe, but if you only have one HD in the tablet you are going to have to do a clean install by formatting the HD.  You cant run 64 bit & 32 bit on the same drive AFAIK.

  • HT1925 I cannot install the latest version of Itunes under Windows XP because itunes.msi cannot be found in order to remove the older version (11.0.1.12) of itunes

    I cannot install the latest version of Itunes under Windows XP because itunes.msi cannot be found in order to remove the older version (11.0.1.12) of itunes.  Is there any other way I can accomplish an upgrade without using the Itunes.msi file?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1338 I have been trying to install window 7 operating system through booth camp assistant, i will finish all the stages for windows to complete installation it will hook at that stage please i need help.

    I have been trying to install window 7 operating system through booth camp assistant, i will finish all the stages for window to complete installation it will hook. the installation cannot be able to complete and i really install windows on it, please i need an assistance on how to go about it.

    Right now I have 6 different systems installed. Windows XP, 7, and 8 plus Linux Mint, Commodore, and OS X Snow Leopard (for old times sake), all running on Mountain Lion.
    I recommend reading the user manual as it greatly helps getting through the steps, however an intuitive person should pick it up fairly easily.
    Thanks to BobTheFisherman for the link.
    There are other ways to get Windows on a Mac but I'm a big fan of open-source software.
    Give it a try. You might like it or it may not be your cup of tea.

  • How to remove the pop-up window ''Wireless Radio Status" for t430s

    Hi, I have owned my t430s for now about 2 years without any major complaints recently I've had to use the fn + f5 function quite frequently, because of my poor internet connection. so that way i can reset which signal I want to choose because the default signal I am connected to is not mine. My problem is similar to what is posted here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-Tablet-and-Helix/how-to-remove-the-pop-up-window-Wireless-Radio-Status/td-p/1191059 I really want to get rid of the pop up for this feature, I've tried to follow what the other thread user's have done and try out their solutions but it does not work for my t430s i tried changing the pmev thing to what was posted in the thread. Can anyone help me? Thanks!  

    I already tried that as mentioned in my original post, it doesn't work. I still get the pop up message: this is me pressing fn + f5

  • What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer? Will iTunes automatically updated without all the deleted songs, or it will indicate 'missing location'? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs?

    What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer?
    Background: I found it easier to identify duplicated songs in windows explorer as the songs will be renamed .... 1.mp3, thus enabling me to remove the duplicated songs; unlike in iTunes where I know the trick of showing duplicate songs, but you don't know which one is the one with 1 at the end of the file name.
    Will iTunes automatically update the library without all the deleted songs, or will it indicate 'missing location' songs? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs by highlighting them all and delete all at one go?
    Thanks.

    One way is to use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
    Another option is with a set of Lost & Found playlists.
    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
    You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.

  • I want to triple boot Have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives and I want Windows 7 on another drive, can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on another internal drive?

    I want to triple boot my Mac Pro I have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives (osx on drive 1, xp on drive 2) and I want Windows 7 on another drive (drive 4, drive 3 is used by osx for storage), can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on drive 4?
    I realise bootcamp only allows 2 operating systems and refit could change the size of my current xp drive to accomodate W7, that is not an option here for various reasons one being the drive is pretty much at capacity with only about 30gig free (I work with video so that free space fluctautes quite a bit). I have a brand new drive 4 with 1TB set aside ready for W7 but I'm unsure how to go ahead?
    any help or advice would be really appreciated, thanks

    Boot Camp is used to support Windows on the same drive.
    You can have a different OS on every drive.
    You could have Windows 7, Vista, and XP all on one drive if you so choose.
    I recommend not putting Windows and OS X on the same dirve when talking about Mac Pro - unless you just need something small and lite.
    Remove all your other drives while you install Windows 7.
    You could even relocate XP - if you need it even - or recover the hard drive space.
    You should always keep 30% free for Mac OS; same for data/media drives.
    Considering 1.5TB WD Black $110.... and you want OS X to be on a fast high performance drive as well.

  • Most recent version of Mozilla Firefox (Windows 7 64 Pro) will open but not display any content in the open browser window.

    After logging into Laptop, Win 7 64bit Pro and launching Mozilla Firefox the browser window opens but the content is blank or black. Mouse over produces change and the only thing I can get to display is when I click in the area the Config/Setup icon would be on the tool bar.
    Even uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest versions of Firefox but still getting the exact same results. Yesterday there were many Windows Updates applied to my computer but after rebooting post updates, Firefox was working fine for the entire day and evening.

    hello spitcher, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

    If you have difficulties to install the online installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, then download the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe; save it to disk, then run it after closing all browser windows.

    I have just downloaded the most recent version of Firefox and have this problem. Updating does not help. Setting the old version to 'never activate' deactivates'both. Please help - I am having to use Chrome!

    It was here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64 - just deleted the exe and the dll.
    Thanks very much for this very simple solution to a frustrating problem - now i can stop using Chrome. :)

  • How to remove the pop-up window ''Wireless Radio Status''

    when you turn the switch on the side of the window pops up. How to clean it up. Many times a day turn it off. Irritating. Thank you.

    Here is what you can do: the application causing the pop-up to appear is named pmev2_1.exe (C:\Program Files\Lenovo\HOTKEY\pmev2_1.exe).
    If you rename it, let’s say pmev2.exe, the pop-up will not appear anymore.
