Upgrade from Windows Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32 bit - L500D-11P

Hello,
i bought since few years the notebook L500D-11P. The OS Windows Vista 32 bit was preinstalled. So i found out that i can upgrade my OS to Windows 7 32 bit. But i need a Windows 7 Upgrade Disc. I didnt find it on my Notebook package. Where can i get it?
Thank you for your support.
yours sincerly
tompson

If you need some assistance with Win7, drivers or Toshiba specific stuff installation you are welcome.
Just for your info: install order is very important so let us know when you want to install Win7. We can help you with right installation order.
Before you install Win7 create recovery DVD. After Win7 installation you will lose HDD recovery image and possibility to install Vista using HDD recovery installation.
How to do this is described in Users manuals document.

  • Tx2517ca From Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a very specific question. I currently am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, but I want to use Windows 7. However, I want to use Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (rather than Windows 7 Home Premium) and understand that this will require a clean install.
    Before I purchase Windows 7 Professional, I want to make sure that this can be done correctly. Does anyone know if this is possible or have already done this?
    I have downloaded and ran Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor which told me that I would be able to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate, but it does not mention Windows 7 Professional at all. I'm assuming this is because it would require a clean install.
    Thanks for your time,
    Lauren

    thanks ... I see now from your other post that you're probably getting either a "missing QuickTime.msi" message or being told that a "newer version of QuickTime" is installed when you try to go ahead and uninstall QuickTime after you're told about the Key?
    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit

    I'm looking at the customisable configurations, and I see that you offer 8GB RAM but that a 64-bit system is required to support it. At the same time, the only option that explicity says it's 64-bit is the Business edition of Vista, which I definitely do not need. Is there any way to specify an order with Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
    Yes, I know what I'm talking about and I need the power, but none of the administrative nonsense associated with the Business addition. From Wikipedia:
    "Similar to Windows XP Home Edition, Home Basic targets budget-conscious users not requiring advanced media support for home use. ... Home Basic supports one physical CPU, but with multiple cores. 64-bit Home Basic supports up to 8 GB of RAM. ... Comparable to Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows Vista Business Edition targets the business market. It includes all the features of Home Basic with the exception of Parental Controls and the Windows Vista Standard theme. This edition can join and participate in a Windows Server domain. It includes Internet Information Services, fax support, Rights Management Services client, Encrypting File System, system image backup and recovery, Offline Files, a single user Remote Desktop server, ad-hoc P2P collaboration capabilities, Shadow Copy support which provides access to previous versions of files, support for Tablet PCs, and other business oriented management features. The Vista Business edition supports up to two physical CPUs. 64-bit Business supports 128 GB of RAM."
    I'm looking at a configuration with a high-power, dual-core processor and 8GB RAM with the 2GB disk cache on top of that for, among other things, high-volume, intense audio processing. None of the extras associated with Business are things I need, but I do need a 64-bit system to utilise 8GB RAM. Frankly, I just really don't want to have to pay $79 simply for the RAM support, I don't want to deal with it through Microsoft, and although the basic edition is apparently not eligible for a free Windows 7 upgrade, I can cross that bridge when I come to it.
    My questions:
    If I'm configuring a machine with >3GB installed memory, will it by default be configured with the 64-bit version of the edition of Windows I've selected?
    If so, will there be a cost difference? There is no cost difference between the listed 32- and 64-bit versions of the Business edition.
    If not, is there any way to make this simple change on my order? Does Levono even ship Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
    Solved!

    Okay, good to know. I still need to know whether I can get Levono to ship my machine with the configuration I've selected, only with Vista Basic 64-bit
    SInce Lenovo don't offer either type of Vista Home in a X64 version, the answer is quite simply, no.

    what would be most cost-effective would also be appreciated.
    Sweating on the OS cost when you are planning to put an expensive 8 GB of RAM into a system seems to be quite cost-ineffective IMO!

  • Installation of oracle 10gR2 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OS

    can we install oracle 10gR2 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OS ???
    While doing sqlplus from command prompt,
    it's giving error like
    'SP2-1503 Unable to initialise Oracle Call interface'
    'SP2-0152 Oracle may not be functioning Properly'
    How to troubleshoot the above errors,
    Has anybody tried it ???
    Plz assist.

    No Oracle product is certified against any Windows Home OS.
    As Vista was released after Oracle 10gR2, 10gR2 is not certified against any edition of Vista.
    You need to downgrade to XP, or install Linux.

  • Replacing Motherboard on HP Media Center PC running Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)

    Running OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) on an HP Pavilion Media Center m8226x Desktop PC.  Replacing motherboard ASUS M2N68-LA Motherboard 6150SE HP Narra2-GL8E with an MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) motherboard due to failure.  Both boards have same chipset and form factor.  Can I just replace board without reinstalling windows?  Do I need to install new drivers?  I don't have an install CD or install key, would Microsoft provide a key if needed?  Is there a link I can reference for MB replacement/ install? 
    Thanks for you assistance!

    The OEM license is tied to the original motherboard version, ie M2N68-LA. You lose the OEM "rights" when you changed the board.

  • Windows Vista 32 and 64 bit key number

    Hello
    XP has been installed from a disk partition (D)
    My notebook has been upgraded from XP to Vista 32 bit with the CD I got from the pakage.
    In the buttom the is a stamp with the key number.
    I have CDs both with Vista 32 and Vista 64
    1. Is the key number the same to the 32 and to the 64 bit
    2. I would like to format the C drive.
    3. Can I install Vista 64, from the CD?
    Thank you for your help

    No worries. Yes, you can perform an install of Vista with the DVDs that you have. You can  reformat the hard disk as part of the installation.
    Before you begin, go into the Device Manager to see which wireless adapter, graphics adapter  and lan adapter is installed and write it down. Doing that will save you some time.
    You will need the following DVDs from what you have stated the notebook was delivered with..
    Operating System DVD Windows Vista Business SP1 (64-it)
    Application and Driver Recovery DVD 32-bit & 64-bit for Windows Vista
    Write down the twenty five character  license activation key before you begin. Enter it when requested to by the Windows installation script. After the installation is complete use the driver disk to install the drivers. If HP Support Assistant is available on the driver and application disk, install that also.

  • Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

    I have been having problems with my screen for several months now:  every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels.  I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed.  It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal.  I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot.  This does not work.  I have also tried installing the original graphics driver.  This does not work either.
    If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error: 
    Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)  The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing.  I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
    Is anyone else seeing this problem?  Does anyone have a resolution?
    I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007.  The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
    If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Windows Vista - Sound Blaster 24 Bit Usb - No Microphone Playback Real Time Kara

    Hi,
    I don't no if this problem was just discussed in another thread, if so please giveme simply the link...
    I'm Italian, so sorry for my poor english or bad translation...
    PC: Laptop, "Toshiba Satellite A 200 24E"
    OS: "Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack " - All update done.
    Dev.: "External Sound Blaster 24 Bit Usb" - Driver downloaded from Creative Web Site
    At the very beginning I tried the internal Sound Card (Realtek) to do karaoke in spare time, but couldn't hear anything coming from Microphone. So I tried to buy an external sound card. The result is the same.
    On "Record Device" I can see the Microphone Device, the level is on top, when I speak in the microphone I can see the green bar light up, if I record my voice I can hear myself when I playback, but no sound in real time.
    I read that a lot of people have similar problems, but everone solves in a different manner...
    I tried:
    - I read in other forums advices about to do something like unmute microphone on "Audio playback devices" >> "Speaker" >> "Levels", but I don't see any checkbox, I can see only Speaker Level Bar...
    - As read in other websites, to add a registry key (something like EnableInputMonitor in a specific path), but nothing changes. I cannot find other Device, not in Playback Devices, and not in Record Devices.
    Please help, all was great with the same microphone, on old Packard Bell Laptop, old Sound Blaster mp3+ usb, and old Windows Xp.
    If no solution, I 'm going on buy an old laptop with Windows xp, or an external Mixer, but I'm disappointed on spending more money...

    well ?

  • Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit) is slow. Which start-up services should run?

    I recently had to use system restore and make a few changes to get my system running again.  Ooops. I now have a very slow computer whereas it was working fine before.  I haven't recently installed any new software or hardware and suspect that some essential start-up services may have been disabled, stopped or set to manual while some other unused services may have been set to start, automatic or automatic (delayed).
    Can someone please direct me to another thread (if available) or list which start-up services should be in which state?
    Thank you!
    System details:
     ~ HP IQ818A 
     ~ Windows Vista Home Premium
      ~ Service Pack 1 
     ~ 4GB RAM 
     ~ 64-bit 
     ~ avast! Anti-virus is active 

    Sydney,
    I don't have an IQ818 at the moment, all I have is an IQ506T - from last fall.  I had just done a recovery of it.
    Note:  1) I did choose to NOT perform automatic updates, 2) I haven't yet configured Norton, and 3) I haven't turned off TouchSmart from running in the background.
    This isn't exactly your system, but it would be somewhat close.  Your safest bet would be to recover and start over, but here goes with the services listings.  Please note its comma delimited - you can look at it better with something like Excel, Works or Open Office.
    Good luck on this.

  • I Mac and windows Vista 32 or 64 bit

    want to use boot camp to install windows vista 32 bit or vista 64 bit (whatever one is best)on my i mac.I already have the installation disk,do i need to purchase parellel to do this,and how much space will i need and will my wireless keyboard and wireless mouse work on windows?
    imac Mac OS X (10.6.3) wireless keyboard and mouse

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    see the System Requirements for Windows Vista here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899
    Macs that support Windows Vista 64-bit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
    Which one is better for you, simply comes down to whether you have Windows programs that require 64-bit and/or if you have more than 4GB of RAM in your Mac.
    The amount of diskspace you need depends on you useage of Windows Vista.
    For Vista alone around 30GB is advisable. Add to that the amount of diskspace needed by the Windows programs you use and the files you work on.
    During the installation of Windows and the BootCamp Drivers it is strongly advised to use wired-keyboard and mouse.
    After that the wireless Apple keyboard/mouse should work quite fine.
    Parallels is not needed for a BootCamp Windows installation. It's a completely seperate product/solution for running Windows on a Mac.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Hp pavillion a6500f product#KQ495AA-ABA windows vista - home premium 64 bit Won't boot

    Hi - I cannot boot my desktop hp pavillion.  error message says put in an installation disk - don't have.  and also says file 32/boot missing or corrupt.  tried recovery group of three disks but doesn't do a thing????  Don't want to loose data what is best route to take?  thanks

    Hi xbill,
    What is the exact message you have?
    So far I understand you have a corrupted windows vista with an error message mentioning a missing or corrupted somthing32 file.
    Your data should not be impacted at the moment (based on what you wrote).
    What you may want to do at the moment is get a windows vista home premium 64 as it may be used to recover the missing/corrupted file(s).
    An external hard drive to backup your files and finally a bootable CD to allow you to start your machine to backup your files.
    But the first thing we need before we go any further is the exact error message.
    Cheers,

  • Satellite A350D-005- Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit and Burning

    Hi. I recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite A350D (PSALEC-005004). It has a 64 bit processor running vista home premium 64 bit. I have never been able to successfully burn a cd or a dvd. I have tried nero 7, 8 and 9, along with Roxio Easy Media Creator 10, along with a few other various software. Nero ends up in it haulting around 10%, then eventually saying that the burning process has failed, resulting in me either having to turn the computer off to remove the wasted disc or if im using my external burner i have to turn it off then back on. When I use Roxio it seems like its going to burn until the end, where it seems to hault again. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix this problem?

    Okay, I tried burning a CD and DVD using Vista's built-in software, and it says this after attempting: "There was an error burning the disc. The disc may no longer be usable." I have no clue as to why the computer will not let me burn using any program. I have tried using my external Sony DVD burner that works on my 32 bit system, and it wont work on this 64 bit machine either. Any suggestions as what to try next?
    Also, whenever it decides to quit burning, the burner seems to keep going and wont stop unless I shut the computer off (for the internal burner) or Turn off the power to the external burner. It also disappears from the list under the "Computer (My Computer)" section.
