Upgrading Win7 Home Premium 32-bit to Win7 Home Premium 64-bit

I just purchased a Thinkpad X201 that came preinstalled with Win7 Home Premium 32-bit installed and I would prefer to run the 64-bit version. Is there any way I can inexpensively get the necessary DVD(s) and will the current product key on my laptop validate the 64-bit version? I understand that this will require a clean install but as MS normally provides both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of Win7 with there standard OEM sets I was hoping that Lenovo could provide me the necessary DVD(s) at little or no cost (shipping?).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

alternatively you can download the legal version of the 64 bit ISO from notebookreview forum ('google notebookreview win 7 iso download).
Then use that to install the version of the win 7 you want, and you can activate that OS with the serial key that you have received with your laptop on the sticker under the laptop.

Upgrade Win7 Home x64 to Win7 Professional

Hi there
Just purchased the z830 which comes with Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) and just wondering can i upgrade it to Win7 Pro (32bit)? I have the Win7 Pro CD already but just want to see if there will be any hardware issue and software issue? and how do i create a recovery partition if i upgrade it to Win 7 Pro.
Thanks People
David

Hello David
You can upgrade Win7 and you can also make clean Pro installation. It is your decision but before you do anything please create recovery DVD using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator.
It is very important. It can happen that after OS upgrade you will not be able to start recovery image from HDD. You will not have access anymore.
With recovery DVD in the hand the situation is completely different. Anytime you want you can use this disc for Win7 installation and have factory settings again.
Generally speaking all offered drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page are the same for home premium or professional version so if you will make decision to install clean version you can download all stuff from - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Please let us know what do you want to do exactly and if you need some assistance you are welcome.

Re: Upgrading Vista Home Premium to Ultimate - Qosmio F50-114

I want to upgrade Vista home premium to Vista Ultimate on Toshiba Qosmio F50-114 could this affect on my hardware or my other software?
I'm using 32-bit system and 4GB RAM expansible to 8GB.

Hi
As far as I know this will not affect the hardware but I read in some threads that the Ultimate version is not fully compatible, or could be not fully compatible with some Toshiba Tools like Vista Added Package.
Im not quite sure if it could be a case on your Qosmio F50-114 but everything is possible.

Upgrading from 32 to 64 bit

Today was an interesting day.
I looked at archlinux.org. I saw the warning about KMS and nvidia. I thought "that doesn't apply to me" and proceeded to upgrade. Then I rebooted and all was not well. The screen went black just after udev started. So I played around a bit. I booted a livecd and looked for hints to no avail.
Then I remember the usb stick with the latest archlinux image and thought "Aha. I'll use that to replace the kernel and other possibly screwed up bits." So I did that (after playing with chroot and mkinitcpio for a while). Then I had more problems. I didn't even get the blank screen.
It turns out that the image was the 64bit one and my computer had been running 32 bit. So rather than do the obvious and download a new 32bit image or do install 64bit from scratch I continued installing the 64bit packages over the top of the old one. Then I rebooted and it worked but only programs from the base install. Everything else complained about the elfs. So, to cut a long story short, I got pacman to replace every program with the 64bit version and now everything is working perfectly (so far) and is set up exactly as it was this morning (before the upgrade).
Anyway the point of this is that it is possible to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit but I wouldn't recommend it
(I wouldn't have bothered if I hadn't been eyeing 64bit for the larger long doubles)
oh and for the curious I think that the reason i had the initial problem was that I had nouveau installed even though I wasn't using it so all I actually needed to do was remove nouveau but I only discovered that when trying the 64bit with nouveau. Whoops

The simplest way to upgrade from 32 to 64 bit is to reinstall your arch, in the hope you have a /home partition. Using a 64 bit version of arch since day 1 of my install and no problem at all on it. Ok, just this crappy flash

Cannot install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit

I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on my macbook. I also installed Boot Camp 3.0.1 after Windows 7 installation, however, WiFi did not work. Therefore, I needed to upgrade to the latest Boot Camp 3.2. However, when I tried to install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 74 bit, I got an error message saying that I needed Boot Camp 3.1 installed first. I CANNOT find Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit on Apple website at all. Can someone please help me on this? Is there a way to get the complete Boot Camp 3.2 package that can simply be installed on version 3.0.1??

here is the link to bootcamp 3.1 for windows 7 64 bit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336 .. and no there is no package that can be applied to the windows side to go from 3.0.1 to 3.2

I have a sony laptop with windows 7 (64 bit) which I upgraded to windows 8 64 bit. But the machine had to be formatted and this time loaded windows 8 32 bit. Now I have tried itunes for 32bit win 8 as well as for 64bit win 8 but none is getting installed

I have a sony laptop with window 7 64 bit initially which I upgraded to windows 8 64 bit. But due to formatting later, I had to reinstall the windows and this time I installed windows 8 32 bit. Now I have tried installing iTunes for 64 bit windows 8 as well as 32 bit Windows 8 but none of them is getting installed. The message I get is, "this programme is not compatible for your pc" (or words to that affect since I dont remember the exact words but this is the meaning).
Can some body send me the link to the right file please. I need iTunes to transfer files from my iPod and iPhone to my laptop.

Upgrading Solaris 10 from 32-bit to 64-bit in a VirtualBox VM

Hello,
I am running 32-bit Sol 10 u5 x86 as a guest in a Sun VirtualBox (Vbox) virtual machine on a 32-bit WinXP host with 64-bit VT-capable Xeon processors, and am considering upgrading Solaris 10 to 64-bit using the latest version of Vbox (2.0.0). After installing WinXP Professional x64 and the 64-bit version of Vbox, will I have to completely re-install Sol 10 to get it to run in 64-bit, or is there some way to get it to 64-bit without a re-install? The Vbox forums suggested that I post this question on a Solaris forum, as they don't know the answer.
They apparently also do not know if Windows XP x64 is a compatible host OS on which to run 64-bit guests. They list only Vista, Linux, and OpenSolaris as supported 64-bit host OSs. Has anyone used WinXP x64 as a host for Vbox 64-bit guests? Due to policy, Vista is not available to me on my system/network.
Thank you...

The x86 installer will place both 32-bit and 64-bit code on the disk.
The loader fired by GRUB will attempt to detect the proper hardware and launch the correct kernel.
Other portions of the upgrade could conceivably cause a problem, but having the CPUs go from 32-bit only to 64-bit capable shouldn't be an issue. You don't have to make any changes.

Upgradeing oracle 9i Windows 32 bit to Oracle 10.2.0.3 Windows 64bit

I have a DB in oracle 9.2.0.5. I have two questios
1 ) How can I upgrade this to Widnows 64 bit oracle 10.2.0.3 without doing an export import.
2) Is it possible to upgrade 9.2.0.5 straight to 10.2.0.3 Windows 64 bit without export import.
My plan is to copy the 9i DB to Windows 10.2.0.3 64 bit server , startup upgrade, then run utlip.sql and utlrp.sql.
Thank you

Just copy the datafiles and upgrade your database directly onto your target system, that'll convert automatically your db in 64-bit :
"+If you are installing 64-bit Oracle Database 10g software but were previously using a 32-bit Oracle Database installation, then the databases will automatically be converted to 64-bit during the upgrade to Oracle Database 10g except when upgrading from Release 1 (10.1) to Release 2 (10.2).+"

Unable to upgrade adobe design premium from cs5.5 to cs6. Problem with eligibility of cs5.5 serial number

I upgraded from design premium cs5.5 to design premium cs6 and am unable to install. I get all the way to where it asks for the serial number of my prior product. Then it complains that the serial number dosent represent an eligible product. The install is on a new machine that has never had the adobe product installed. I unregistered the cs5.5 product on my old machine before trying to install cs0.

Contact serial number support by web chat.

Hi claire.winteringham,
If you have a 64 bit machine then there shouldn't be any problem while installing any 32-bit software.
Try to download it with the below mentioned link :

Premiere Elements 4- upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit

I just upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit and reinstalled PE4.
I tried to start a new project, but when I import an avi, I can't view the footage.....there seems to be an extremely skinny bar at the bottom of the screen where I can see something playing.
I imported some jpegs just fine.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Good morning Steve,
All the clips are from my Flip video camera. I downloaded the clips straight from the camera.
Prior to the W7-64 upgrade, my laptop (HP DV2500) was running Vista, and I was able to use PE4 and E5 just fine.
This morning, I also tried using E5 to create a slideshow, but I'm having problems with that as well.
I'm guessing my drivers are outdated? I'm not sure what graphics card I have--- been clicking through my computer to try and find out.
I appreciate your response.
Regards,

Can't apply Ultra Search to an upgraded Oracle Home. Do I have any options?

Hi
I've made a mistake!!
I created an Oracle Home, upgraded it to 10.2.0.4 and then created a new DB. This now contains SOA Suite and Content Management users which is working great.
I now need to add Ultra Search to this DB, but the install for this won't work as the installer expects a 10.2.0.1 home. Anyway, it probably wouldn't be a good idea anyway I would have thought as it would apply 10.2.0.1 software to a more recent version.
So, not being a DBA, do I have any options?
For example, I thought about creating a new home, adding all the extra software and then upgrading the home to 10.2.0.4. Then, could I clone the DB to this new home?
Any advice would be most appreciated.....
Many thanks
Chris

I can confirm that Ultra search cannot be installed by dbca in 10.2.0.4 database. It complains about invalid objects during installation in the created schema. Investigation showed up its some wrapped plsql package implementations that cannot be compiled.
When installing first 10.2.0.1 db, then patching to 10.2.0.3, then installing companion 10.2.0.1 and patching companion again to 10.2.0.3, Ultra search installation works in dbca.
Ultra search is needed for example by metadata creation assistant 10.1.4 (for Oracle internet directory 10.1.4). So Oracle internet directory cannot be installed on 10.2.0.4. Oracle probably didn't test this possibility
