Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit from Dreamspark

I downloaded Windows 8.1 Pro from Dreamspark and it installs fine.
I need the 64 bit version instead though, but didn't get the option to install it.
My machine is a 2 processor, quad core Xeon with 8GB RAM.
How do I install the 64 bit version? It was installed on a blank disk.
Nick

When you opened the .dmx file in the download manager for your order, there should be two versions of Windows, both 32bit and 64bit.
If you have lost the .dmx file then login to DreamSpark and
go to Your Account/Orders and
find your Windows 8.1 order. Click on
it and in the next page click Start Download
as usually.
After the download finished, open up the .dmx file and
download the correct Windows image. For 32bit the correct image would have a name en_windows_8_1_x86_dvd... .iso
and for 64bit en_windows_8_1_x64_dvd... .iso.
Burn the correct image on an empty DVD
and then you're ready for a clean install.
Hope this helps.
P.S. Don't worry about the license key, it's the same for both editions.
EDIT: here's a screenshot from the download manager.

  • Operating System change from Windows 7 to windows 8.1 pro 64 bit

    I have HP Pavilion Dv6-6196ex with Windows 7 64 bit as original OS. I change my hard drive to 256 mb SSD and installed new OS windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. Is there any suitable software coming from HP that is compatible to my new OS and can i get a recovery manager from HP and installed it on my new OS? 

    Sorry, but HP is only supporting and providing drivers for Windows 7 for this model on the HP Pavilion dv6-6196ex Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page. The only purpose of the HP Recovery Manager is to return the computer to its original factory state. Becasue your computer shipped with Windows 7, the HP Recovery Manager would only restore Windows 7 and not the currently installed OS.
    Please see HP Forun thread entitled "8.1 recovery discs" for more information on this subject. My suggestion is to use Windows "System Image Backup" utility to create an exact image of the Windows 8.1 partition as it currently is, on an external hard drive. If your computer developes issues or you need to replace the hard drive, all you have to do is "restore" the image to the computer. Please see Windows 8.1 Tip: Use System Image Backup for instructions on creating and restoring a "Windows - System Image Backup."
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • I cant make a bootable (usb/dvd) for windows 8.1 pro 64 bit

    right now i am using windows 8.1 pro 32 bit ,, want to change to 64 bit   , my CPU is 64 bit  and i have 4 GB ram (i know i should have more ram ,, but i dont do this upgrade for the ram  , but because some emulators , and some application
    ask 64 bit) so i used every possible way on my computer , using windows 7 download tool , rufus , etc programs to make the usb  , imgburn for dvd , i did from a friends computer that is windows 8.1 pro 64 bit ,, but nothing everything DOESN'T work  ,
    all  32 bit editions boot and install just perfect (created by my computer ) so its not a computer problem  ,, when i put the media on my computer (dvd/usb) and restart and boot on it ,, its shows me the windows logo ,, after 20 seconds (too much)
    it shows the ring , and then it reboots the computer (2/10 tries it manages to go in the language selection screen ,, but when i click next  ,, and then i click install now button ,, it reboots again) what is going wrong , and how can i fix it (where
    should i make that bootable media ?) i have bought the windows from dreamspark ,, so i use a official iso and serial key 

    Hi,
    This is not license problem, in my opinion, it's more relate with hardware and their driver problem.
    Firstly, it would be better to contact the manufacture to identify if your computer support Windows 8.1 X64 edition.
    Secondly, if your former system was not removed, try to access into the system and upgrade BIOS editon, after that, try to reinstall the system again for test.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bits. Problem with IDT High Definition Audio Driver on my HP pavilion g6 notebook

    Hi!
    I'd recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit version. All drivers worked fine but I'm having problems with IDT High Definition Audio driver. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance! My PC model is: LS278EA#ABE

  • Corrupt SPLDR.SYS Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit won't boot

    Hi!
    I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit full Norwegian version bought at a local store.  My PC consists of:
    MB:  Asrock Z97 Extreme4
    Proc.:  Intel i7 4790
    RAM:  4 x 8 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport 1866Mhz 10CL
    Video: Gainward GeForce GTX 770 4GB
    SSD:  Kingston HyperX SH100S3 240GB (system disk)
    RAID5:  3 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB + 1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB(configured using Intel RAID BIOS utility - only used for user files)
    Optical:  Lite-On IHOS104-37 + LG BD-R BH10 
    eSATA:  Samsung Story Station Plus 1.5 TB (This had to be set as internal SATA drive in UEFI otherwise it refuses to wake up form sleep)
    1394a:  Lycom PCI-E PE-101
    PS:  Corsair HX750W
    The optical drives are connected to the onboard ASMedia ASM1061 controller, the others to connectors controlled by the Intel Z97 chipset. I also have an M-AUDIO Firewire Solo external sound card connected to the 1394a expansion card.  This is powered
    by the Firewire bus and is occasionally a little "tricky".  I believe it's because there is no driver available for Win 8 so I had to use the one for Win 7 64-bit.
    This rig was set up about a month ago and has worked without any
    serious problems except that I sometimes experience that the eSATA drive doesn't always wake from sleep. 
    All suggested updates has been installed.
    My issue is this:
    2 days ago I was installing a Silverlight
    plug-in for Mozilla when I got a message that the installation routine couldn't update the registry and then the system
    froze. After rebooting,
    I was informed that Windows had become
    corrupt. Attempting to run the
    repair routine was no use - I just got
    a message that Windows couldn't undertake
    the repair. I suspected problems
    with the system disk and started the
    command prompt using the installation DVD.
    It turned out that the C drive suddenly
    had becomeE drive. The RAID "disk" showed up under the command prompt as C:\. 
    I ran bootrec (Sorry, I can't remember what parameter I used)
    that reported that some errors were
    repaired but that it couldn't repair everything.
    Then I ran sfc offline.
    In the srttrail.txt log file (that was written to the correct path on the E drive) I see that
    SPLDR.SYS is corrupt and attempt
    to repair failed (error code 0x2
    and 0x490).
    I was advised by a support engineer on the Microsoft Community forum to try and run chkdsk /p - which turned out to be an invalid parameter - and chkdsk /r which reported that everything was OK. 
    The support engineer suggested that I should perform a system restore from WindowsRE.  This is what happened: 
    At first there seemed to be only one restore point available dated two days earlier but when I looked for more restore points there were 4 alltogether the oldest one dated 14 days earlier.  I klicked the button "Look for the
    affected programs" (or something like that - I've translated this from the Norwegian version I use.) and there were listed a lot of programs and utilities that had been installed on this disk before but not as long as it had been in
    this rig! (I used this SSD as system disk in another PC earlier.)  This is strange: when I installed the disk in my new rig I chose to repartition it and as far as I know that means that old data is erased.  OK, I chose the newest restore point anyway
    and klicked Next.  In the following dialog there was a yellow exclamation mark and a list of two drives.  Both drives were called Local drive (C:), the first one with (System) as well.  Under Status on this first one it said "You
    must enable system protection on this drive." Status of the second one was "Cannot find the drive" (Again translated from the Norwegian version.) The checkbox to the left
    of both of the listings were greyed out and because I couldn't choose any of them, the Next-button was grayed out as well. 
    As I mentioned before the drives have chanched letters.  When I use old DOS commands from the command prompt and switch from the X: drive (which seems to be the Windows installation DVD) to C: it shows the RAID I mentioned before.  Likewise, the
    system disk (i.e. the SSD I'm having trouble with) is now D:.  And that sort of explains why the system recovery can't find the drive...  But it doesn't explain why the old programs show up in the new restore points... (I've checked that the SSD
    still is set to be boot disk in UEFI.)
    The support engineer suggested that I post my query on the TechNet forum.  
    Do you have any suggestions what to do? 
    I'm a little nervous considering what could happen
    with the files on the data disk if I make a mistake... :-)
    Regards,
    Morten Ericson

    Hi!
    Please read both this reply and the next one in conjunction.
    I've done some research on my own after following your advices (Please look at my last reply below.).
    First of all:  bootrec /scanos does not report any Windows installations.
    Running bcdedit /enum reports:
    Windows Boot Manager
    identifier:  {bootmgr}
    device:  partition=D:
    path:  \bootmgr
    description:  Windows Boot Manager
    locale:  nb-NO
    default:  {default}
    displayorder:  {default}
    timeout:  30
    Windows Boot Loader
    identifier:  {default}
    device:  partition=D:
    path:  \Windows\system32\winload.exe
    description: Windows 7 Ultimate
    locale:  nb-NO
    recoverysequence:  {db9ccd8a-43de-11e4-85a8-8169ad6c7c9f}
    recoveryenabled:  Yes
    osdevice:  partition=D:
    systemroot:  \Windows
    bootmenupolicy:  Standard
    I must admit that I don't know how these things go together but there are a few things that makes me wonder:
    First of all this has to be the reason why Windows 7 Ultimate comes up as the only option when I try to run System Restore. But is it really a Windows 7 installation?  A lot of the files (logs and so on) in the Windows folder and subfolders are dated
    mid August when I installed Windows 8.1.  I just wonder...
    I've been googling a bit about system installation and recovery and I read somewhere that there are some special precautions when installing Windows on a UEFI-based system.  I can not remember that there were any options or warnings about that when
    I installed Windows 8.1 on my system.  But I belive I saw somewhere that a UEFI-based installation creates other partitions than an installation on an ordinary BIOS based system.  The fact that the SSD has been used in a BIOS based system with Windows
    7 Ultimate before explains in my mind why there is no reserved partition. 
    BTW:  I don't know if this is important but the strings that were reported by the bootsect command were {e59cd65f-170a-42c4-927d-8ce8a94989a3} for the C:-disk and {cf240c96-43dc-11e4-85a8-806e6f6e6963} for the D:-disk.

    1. In bios, do you found fixed and dynamic? if you don't found, install bios mod. Use dynamic
    2. Uninstall all programs and drivers previously, before of "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Graphic Adapter WDDM1.3 - AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series" Release July 2014. You can use http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU, for example. 
    3. Do you install windows 8.1 on windows 8.0? do you use windows 8.1 fresh installation? Can you testing install a new copy of windows 8.0 fresh? install drivers and later install updates... or fresh install windows 8.1?
    4. You testing install Windows 7 with http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp5509​2.exe and update to windows 8?
    5. You testing install http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp5509​2.exe in windows 8 initially?
    NOTE: Excuse me my bad english, I try to help you. You should install drivers in order: Intel Chipset Device Software, Intel Rapid Storage Technology, Intel Management Engine Interface (6-series / 7-series / 8-series / 9-series) and then AMD software: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-drivers-softwar​e-forum/556469-drivers-hp-dv6-4xxx-dv6-6xxx-dv7-5x​...

    Hi
    The toshiba thinkpad should have builtin software to update drivers and software packages etc.
    You can also look at this site, it might help you.

  • TCS4 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

    I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit on my workstation. Then I did a clean install of Adobe TCS4. When I want to enter my Serial Number I receive the following message:
    Serial Number you povided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer.
    To use this serial number, you must own one of these qualifying products. Please choose the one you own and enter its serial number.
    When I select Adobe FrameMaker 11 from the dropdown and enter the TCS4 Serial Number I receive the following message:
    This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another.
    Any suggestions?

    What did Adobe support say? Installation help/support is free.

    I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

    Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required.  I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud.  Now I get the famous white screen:
    It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now). 
    Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
    del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
    Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
    Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work.  I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
    I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

    I have an Envy X2 11-g001tu (Australia) on which I am currently running Windows 8 Pro 32 bit which is very stable. I have tried to upgrade it a couple of times to 8.1 Pro 32 bit and it becomes unstable, so I have to revert, which is time consuming and inconvenient.
    Since the last time I tried the drivers on the HP website have not been updated so I haven't bothered to do anything else. But tonight I was looking at the specs of the Asus Vivo Tab T810C and they are almost identical to the Envy, both running the  Atom Z2760 at 1.8Ghz. The main difference was that the Asus was running 8.1 64 bit. I was told that the Atom didn't have the resources to handle 64 bit on my Envy.
    Anyone care to comment on any issues upgrading to Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit?
    Thanks

    Hi Ruggers. According to HP's update advisor:  HP & Windows 8.1 your Envy x2 has been successfully tested with 8.1, and instructions have been provided. Here are the Windows 8.1 drivers for your Envy x2:  HP ENVY x2 11-g001tu Drivers.
    The Atom Z2760 processor can use only 32-bit instruction sets, as it is a 32 bit processor. As a result it can only run 32 bit operating systems.
    I hope this helps.

  • Installing Windows 8.1 Pro 32 bit on Lenovo H500s

    I have installed a brand new (clean) 2T drive in the Lenovo H500s and I have Windows 8.1 PRO 32 bit retail disk. I'm trying to get this to install on the new drive but can't even get the unit to see the CD.
    I've gone in to the BIOS and set the CDROM as the first boot divice but when the computer is turned on it doesn't seem to recognize the drive and gives me the error message "Error 1962 No operating system found".
    I've tried other DVD's that are bootable but it doesn't seem to see those either. Any ideas on this?
    NOTE: I need to use the 32 bit OS because I have drivers that the device manufacture won't update to 64 bit. This is a Epilog Laser Cutter so I'm not about to spend $17,000 to replace it.

  • Unable to install Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit on my HP Pavilion g6 1318ax

    Hello,
    I have Windows 8.1 pro OS on my machine but that's 32 bit. I am trying to install 64 bit of the same but it says "This app can't run on your PC". The machine I am using is Pavilion g6 1318ax.
    Please advise.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Regards,
    Dev

    Hi:
    You have to boot from the 64 bit installation media and do a clean (custom) install.
    It will not run from a 32 bit Windows desktop.
    No 64 bit operating system will.
    In other words, you can't upgrade from a 32 bit to a 64 bit operating system, and retain your programs and files.
    So back up any files you don't want to lose.

  • Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit - finger print not working (sony viao 15126pab)

    I cant access any printers, not even the virtual printers.
    What I would do is use ProcMon to find out why that Event entry was written.  Then I imagine I would get a clue about a .dll which might be involved, which hopefully might be registerable.  Since IE9 there have been new .dll  involving printing
    which have not been reflected in any of our repair tools.  However, instead of modifying our old scripts to reflect this fact, I have been advocating, so far unsuccessfully, that Microsoft create a proper IE Repair tool, one which does not rely on such
    unreliable techniques.   E.g. a better method of repairing would be to have it done by a proper troubleshooter (an .msdt file) but so far it seems nothing has been done in that way for these symptoms (again, assuming the cause is registry corruption
    and not simple interference from now incompatible third-party programming--the fix for that would be to identify and remove the incompatibilities.)   For example.

  • ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock - Prevents ThinkPad Twist (S230) from booting (Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit)

    Hi, I upgraded to Win 8.1 tonight and found the ThinkPad Twist wouldn't boot at all when the USB 3 dock was plugged in. When it tried to reboot I just get a permanent blank screen. When I power down and do a cold boot, I get the ThinkPad welcome screen but no boot options line prompt below it and it gets stuck on the ThinkPad logo. The only way I can get it to boot is to unplug the ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock USB cable from the machine then dreboot from cold again. It's a bit annoying and definitely didn't behave like this under Win 8.0 RTM just a few hours ago.
    I also found the dock-attached external displays wouldn't work under Win 8.1, but updating the Dock firmware and the  DisplayPort firmware as mentioned in another discussion board fixed that prob at least.  But I still can't boot or reboot with the ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock attached...  Help would be appreciated.
    TIA...
    Paul
    p.s. my ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock is Model DU99019, ASM PN OA34193

    Thanks for the help. None of that fixed the problem, so I've run the tool and sent the results to DisplayLink support as you asked, with a link back to this thread. For your reference I have a Lenovo Service Request Number: 8001961163 on this problem. ( I mention this so we don't duplicate efforts).
    Here's part of what I said to DisplayLink Support:
    "I have all the latest drivers and updated the UEFI from Lenovo a couple of weeks ago. I restored a Windows 8.0 clone to see if the problem was present at that level, but I had the same problem, so I put Win 8.1 back. It used to work fine up until a week ago when I updated to Win 8.1, but as I said, I regressed to a Win 8.0 image and it persists there now, too.
    The problem is when I restart Windows with the Dock connected, it’ll shut down normally then not reboot – it gets stuck on the Lenovo screen that asks to press Enter for the UEFI config. Same happens if I cold-boot it from power-off. Unplugging the USB3 cable and cold booting is the only way to get the PC going again.
    Files attached show screen  shots of my troubleshooting progress. There was originally a “Mirage Driver” that the compatibility reporter was complaining about, so I removed that but still had the same problem after rebooting.
    Personally, I think it’s a hardware or UEFI problem, as the problem happens before anything of Windows gets loaded at boot time."

    Paul
