Windows 8 Pro x64 (64 bit) ISO

Hi guys,
After searching for what feels like days (but is really only hours), I have still not managed to find a legit ISO image of Windows 8 Pro x64.
The problem I have is that I have the newest iMac and so don't have a cd drive.
I contacted microsoft and dicovered that if I have an ISO image of the version mentioned above, a student upgrade license would actually activate this with no problem.
I am a student and thought that I had to pay £99.99 for the full version but when using microsoft's online chat to get help from a sales advisor I found that if you ordered Windows 8 Pro Student version (x64) with back-up media (which costs nothing extra), you could actually complete a full install using this, only I have the problem of not having a cd drive! I then asked about an ISO image that is copied to a usb stick and she said that this would work fine.
So I just need to find an ISO of Windows 8 Pro (x64) Student version. (I'm not sure if the student version is exactly the same as plain pro version but it should be)
Thanks,
Jack

When you buy and download it should offer Setup Assistant to upgrade if you have Windows or a link to the ISO.
Did when I bought it.
Now because I had Windows 8 I could go and download the full Windows 8.1 Preview, but not if you don't have 8 already.
There is a link to Windows 8 Pro Student

Very disapointed in Lenovo's service on my T430 machine type 2342CTO with Windows Pro 7 64 bit

I have been a ThinkPad user since the first model 700. I have always liked them and when I have had to use other laptops I found them inferior. However one thing my team has been telling me in the past year or two is that they do not want to purchase anymore Lenovo ThinkPad's. They have told me that the service and support has been greatly degraded. I was hesitant to agree with them until my present experience. We purchase all of our ThinkPad's with a 4 year on-site warranty. We have people who are in the field and when their computer goes down we need to get it back up and running ASAP.
Three weeks ago my hard drive started to give me some problems and one day after shutting down the computer a message came up that it needed to run Checkdisk which it did. I was able to keep it going and I did have a backup. I contacted the 800 number to talk with a service person and they ordered up service for the replacement of the hard drive and also to replace the fan and sent me the system disks for the T430. Two days later the insight service person showed up with the parts. The disks showed up as well via UPS. The service person replaced the fan and the HDD. There were 4 DVD's for the system disks. He started the rebuild and asked if I could finish it and I said I could with no problem. He left. I continued the process. After the 3rd DVD it asked to put in the 4th and when I did a message said that this was the wrong DVD. I tried all the other 3 with the same response. I tried building it from scratch again and the same problem. I called support again and the guy I spoke with thought that I must have a bad DVD and he would send out another set. That set of 4 DVD’s arrived the next day which I was very thankful for. He told me that they could only guaranty 2 days. I thought OK we should be up and running shortly. The same problem occurred again. Bear in mind that both sets of these DVD's were all labeled for the ThinkPad T430 machine type 2342 which was my laptop and for Windows Pro 7, 64 bit. I called Lenovo and this time the tech I spoke with said that there was another set of Disks for my machine that should have been sent. Of course I was frustrated but there was not a lot I could do about that and I asked if they could make sure that they were overnighted to me so that I would be sure to get them on the next day which was Thursday. He told me that he could not do that, that they could only guaranty 2 day. I called the next morning to get the tracking number which they gave me and it was supposed to be delivered on Friday which I was very thankful for. That was Good Friday. However UPS had some severe weather at their hub in Kentucky and everything was delayed and the disks did not show up until Monday. I had now been down a whole week from my first call the Monday before.
The new set of disks was 3 DVD’s labeled for the T430, Machine type 2342 and Windows Pro 7, 64 bit. I started the build process. It continued to work but I made a mistake in the order of disks so I thought that these disks have a problem too. I called Lenovo and they said that I should just send the system in for depot repair. I said that will take at least until probably Thursday. The guy I was speaking to said that I should have it back by Wednesday. I asked if there was any way that I could send it to them directly that day. He said no I could not, I had to wait for a box. I asked if there was anyway to expedite the process and he spoke to his manager and his manager said that the level of service that was on the machine would not allow for any faster service. The also told me that my service contract would allow me to take it to an authorized Lenovo service center around me. I said to him that they probably have a queue as well and that I will have to wait for that. As an aside note we did try service like this with one of our other ThinkPad’s that had a problem and the place messed up the system and we ended up at the end of the day having to send it to their depot for repair. I hung up and though let me try these disks one more time. I did and I saw my mistake and the system loaded up the DVD’s properly. I was getting excited that I could be up and running shortly. However my excitement was short lived. Once it started to reboot and expand the installation the drive failed and said that it had to run Checkdisk. It did and once again there were all kinds of orphaned files etc. I had to reboot and run it from the DVD’s again and I went through the whole process once again. The system went into a complete failure and would not do anything. I called back support with my case # and gave them this information. The box came the next day and I packed it up and sent it off. I then started tracking it and it arrived on Wednesday as expected. Then I wanted to go to the site and track the progress of the repair. The document you have to fill out and send back with the system gives information on where to go on the web to track the process. My shows that it arrived on Wednesday 4/8 as expected. The first message shows “Machine being repaired” at 08:52. Then I checked later in the early evening hoping to see shipped back to customer. However what I did see was the following message “Hold for Parts – Service call is on hold until parts arrive”. Then I kept tracking it and saw another entry on 4/10 at 02:01:54 which was the same “Hold for Parts – Service call is on hold until parts arrive”. That was of course Friday. I called the service and they told me that they were waiting on parts which they could not tell me what parts and that there was nothing that they could do. I then asked if there was anyway to expadite this and the girl I spoke to said that she would seek to accelerate this to another level and that I would get a call from Lenovo in the next 2 to 3 business days! I said to her that you really mean that that is accelerating it and she said yes. Yesterday I received a call from an automated attendant, not a real person who told me that they were waiting on parts for my computer and that it could be “5 to 7 business days before they receive the part”. I could not believe this. I called again today 4/15 and asked if anyone could tell me the status because the website told me very little. I told the girl that I was speaking to that I had received this automated attendant telling me that a part would take 5 to 7 business days more. I asked her if Lenovo kept parts and she said yes but that this part was not in stock. I asked her what the part was and she was able to find that it was the main system board that had to be replaced. I said you have already had the unit for 1 week now at depot repair and never mind the fact that I have been without my computer for 2.5 weeks. She told me that there was nothing she could do and that I had to wait on the part. That is where this case sits at present.
I am very very unimpressed with Lenovo’s service. And furthermore there is no one to talk to about it at Lenovo who gives a care. I really did not know where to air my grievances with how this case is being handled. I thought maybe the forum would be a place. At least others will learn of my dilemma and maybe others have experienced the same thing.
I still like my ThinkPad but the service of Lenovo has become very poor at best. The guy that is my technical manager has had a poor experience of late ordering up some other Lenovo products and he does not want to purchase anymore and these were for new product. They sent the laptop with the wrong software loaded and then said no problem we will send you a new set of disks to load. He refused and said you have to fix this because it was Lenovo’s mistake. It takes time to load software and time is money. I believe we will be leaving the Lenovo field if things continue. I hope and trust that others will not experience the same treatment as I/we have. I wonder if Lenovo will even respond to this post.

I had a real problem with wireless performance on multiple ThinkPads with Win7 until I realized there is a new (or maybe changed implementation) power setting in Win7 which was affecting it.
If you go into Control Panel -> Power Options and click "Change plan settings" for your current power plan.
On the next screen click on "Change advanced power settings"
On the next screen expand "Wireless Adapter Settings" and then "Power Saving Mode"
Make sure it is set to Maximum Performance.
Not sure if this will help your particular problem but hope it does.

Windows 8.1 64-bit ISO Not Recognized in Bootcamp

I am attempting to install Windows 8.1 64-bit via Bootcamp on my mid-2010 15-inch MacBook Pro, but the ISOs and bootable USBs all include both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 8.1 and I receive an error message "Bootcamp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use a ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation." It appears that Bootcamp is detecting the 32-bit version and ignoring the 64-bit version so I am unable to install.
I have tried editing the Bootcamp Info.plist to make my MacBook Pro (MacBookPro6,2) eligible for the 32-bit installation, but the error still appears.
Does anyone have a solution for how I can install Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp?

I get the same error, but I'm using a 64bit only Windows 8.1 ISO and different target hardware. I haven't found a workaround anywhere. I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 on a new iMac 5k* using the Bootcamp Assistant Version 5.1.2 (497) included with Yosemite 10.10.1. I bought Windows 8.1 on a Windows 7 PC and used Microft's mediacreationtool.exe utility to create the 64-bit-ONLY iso. The utility allows you to select the Edition of Windows 8.1 (vs 8.1 Pro), the language, the architecture (32bit x86 or 64 bit x64), then you can select the media type: bootable USB or ISO.
i Selected the English 8.1 64bit ISO and copied it over the LAN to the iMac since it doesn't come with an optical drive.I launched Bootcamp Assistant and che ked all 3 available Checkboxes as described in the instructions, browsed to the ISO image, selected the FAT32 formatted USB stick and clicked continue, that's when I get the error about 64 bit Windows is required, the same as the title of Bill W's post above.
I Created the ISO again just to make sure 64 bit was selected and got the same results. I Rebooted, same result. Others said they just copied the ISO to their documents directory and that fixed it, not for me. Others said they just had to rename the ISO to DMG, that didn't work for me either.
In another article here, someone suggested modifying the info.plist for Bootcamp Assistant, I tried that, same result as several others, problems with unlocking and replacing the edited .plist file.
When I examine the files in the ISO on the PC, there's nothing to indicate that there are two builds to support both Windows architectures. Other people claim they've installed Win 8.1 on this hardware successfully using the same technique.
Any ideas? Any additional info required?
Thanks in advance! Is there a way to cross-post this in other forums or threads if this is not the best place for it?

*My iMac is close to its factory state (I some App Store apps), iMac (Retina 5K, 27", late 2014, Model ID 15,1), Yosemite 10.10.1 (Build 14B25), i7, 3Tb Fusion, 32Gb RAM, 295M w/ 4G, SanDisk Cruzer Edge Media brand USB memory stick with 16Gb for use with Bootcamp. 1Tb free space on Fusion drive, was planning to allocate 100Gb out of that for Windows.

ITunes 7.6 and Windows XP Pro x64 ---- 64 bit version of Windows XP Pro

My wife was given an iPod nano, so I downloaded the current version of iTunesSetup.exe from www.apple.com and tried to run the executable. It told me that it wasn't designed to install iTunes on my 64 bit version of Windows XP Pro, and that I should go back to www.apple.com and download the 64 bit installer. I went back to www.apple.com and searched for the 64 bit installer in vain. There is only one main link to the current installer and the website determines which version of the installer you're given. After a few google searches I managed to aquire iTunes64setup.exe from the Apple site. I ran the executable and it told me "This iTunes installer requires that your computer is running Windows Vista 64-bit" and then it gave me the option to exit. I ended up installing iTunes from the executable I had originally downloaded. I have iTunes 7.6.2.9 installed now but it doesn't detect, or can't operate my DVD burner, so I can't rip music with iTunes for use on my wife's nano. I get this error report when I run the Diagnostic test built into iTunes.

And there was no change in the diagnostic when I first tried to repair the install and then tried to reinstall iTunes. I'm sure the burner is working because I can play music, watch movies and all the normal stuff a DVD burner can do using Nero.
I'm guessing I need an iTunes version of 64 bit optical drive driver.
Any help would be appreciated!

I got the iTunes 7 to work on XP Pro 64bit. What I did was this:
1. Downloaded DriverInstaller_AMD64EM64T.exe
2. Installed it.
3. Created this file tree: C:\Windows\Sysnative\drivers (Easier terminology, I went into the Windows folder and created a folder named "sysnative", opened that folder and created another folder called "drivers".
4. Then I located the folder where I installed DriverInstaller_AMD64EM64T.exe ..
5. I took the file called GEARAspiWDM and COPIED IT. I DID NOT MOVE THIS FILE!!!
6. I pasted a COPY of this file into sysnative\drivers. The folder I just made.
7. I installed iTunes 7, not 7.6. 7.6 and this method won't solve the burning issue. That would require more programs and more patients.
Note, you will have to manipulate iTunes when you want to burn. The best way to do this, I found, was to simply make a playlist and right click the playlist on the left column and select burn to disk. It should act normally.

Issues showing PDF files in web-browser (Windows 7 x64, 32-bit version of AdobeReader X)

I'm not sure if this is the right way to share my experience, but at least I know Google will discover this thread eventually and maybe someone else will find what I have been looking for the past 3 hours
I'm deploying the 32-bit based AdobeReader X (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4950) to Windows7 32-bit and 64-bit based machines. This is a MSI deployement done through our Active Directory. Everything goes well - no errors. Except for the x64-based machines having trouble showing PDF-files in the web-browser.
I used Adobe Customization Wizard X to customize our MSI installation - this showed out to be the solution once again.
Common for the installation on Windows7 32-/64-bit were that the value in the registry database for HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe (Default) was set to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe". This is valid for the 32-bit installation as Program Files is situated in C:\Program Files, but since it's a 32-bit edition of AdobeReader that I'm installing on the 64-bit based system as well, it's installed in C:\Program Files (x86) and the reference in the registry database to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is therefore not valid - which explains why PDF files could not be displayed in the web browser. Changing the registry to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" solved it. Now this is a manual solution which might be useful on 1-2 machines but on a bigger scale it's not the right way to do it.
I could change it with a batch/vbs script but still this is only a solution of the symptom and not a solution to the core issue. I therefore focused on Adobe Customization Wizard X again.
The problem was easily solved. I opened the MSI file, loaded the transform file that I've made previously. Went to Registry > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe . I then changed the (Default) value from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" to "[INSTALLDIR]Reader\AcroRd32.exe", generated the MST file and replaced my current one for distribution. Problem solved! :-) The entry in the registry now shows : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" and PDF files are open without any issues.
I hope someone can save a bit of time on this one.
Best regards!

I was able install and view the files in adobe reader 10.1.1 and in web browser window 7 64 bit machine. But when I go to Edit-preferences-internet and unchecking "display PDF in Browser" , I am not able to view the pdf files in ie 9 browser. I have used this javscript to check for pdf version.
Immediately after installing adobe--

Windows pro x64 with soundblster live World of Warcr

when i start up my world of warcraft, all of my sound gets greatly distorded. when i go into my sound control panel in windows and change the speeker seting to ither head phones or anything that is not curently selected as the default, the sound gose back to normal. when i am in world of warcraft, and i quit the game, the sound will then go back to normal as well. plz help, it is extreamly annoying to go into the setting over and over again to fix the sound when every i play world of warcraft.

I do know one thing about that game that you didnt list about it's hardware requirements. The game needs to have a certain version of DirectX. Do you have the right version of directX installed (alot of games have it included on the game cd and will ask you to install it at the same time you are installing the game)? Does your sound card support the version of directX that is needed by the game? The latest version of DirectX is 9.0c and I am pretty sure that World of Warcraft is a New game so it is pretty likely that World of Warcraft needs at least ver 8 or 9 of directX. Click Start, then Run, then type "dxdiag" without the qoutes and press enter. If it asks you to scan for the hardware compatibility say Yes or No(if you say yes it will scan your pc and will take a while to finish) on the screen that comes up, in the middle near the bottom it will say what version of direct X you have.

Can't install Windows 7 Pro x64 - device driver missing - can't eject DVD

Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro x64 - I create the partition in boot camp and start windows install process. **During the Windows install process**, it says "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note: if the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step".
Apparently the drivers are on the OSX install DVD. But, there is no way to eject the windows DVD! Why on earth is there no manual eject on Macs? Is there another way to eject? I tried to put a paperclick in the slot next to where a CD is inserted but it didn't do anything. Is there another way to get Windows to see the correct device drivers?
I am all for clean slick designs, but when it does not have all required functionality, it is kind of useless.
I am talking to Mac Support and they can't help.
Looks like I will have to return this Mac, I also need to boot into full Windows (without Parallels or VMWare) to do my work.

You don't mention what Mac you have, so I'd have to say there is almost no way to help.
IF the 7 Pro x64 came download ISO thru EDU, you have to burn it, and if you use Disk Utility, at 2X reduced burn speed... otherwise it won't work.
A VM isn't fussy and can use ISOs.
If you want both native and VM, to have Windows installed on its own hard drive and use it under OS X, then you have to install it and use Boot Camp Assistant.
I'd say it is all about your DVD media.

Reader 11.0.2 extremely slow on Win 8 Pro x64

I have a Core i7 quad-core with 8Gb of ram and a hybrid ssd/hdd 750Gb drive. My computer is quite speedy with everthing _except_ adobe reader. 50% of the time when I try to open a .pdf of various sizes (from 300Kb to 300Mb) the file just never opens at all, and I have to open task manager and kill the adobe process and try it all over. When it does open, a 500Kb file will take about 90 seconds to open, if you want to scroll down? that's another 90 seconds. Want to close Adobe Reader, you guessed it, another 90 seconds go by, if it doesn't completely freeze.
I've reinstalled twice. I even used Revo Uninstalller to really remove Adobe Reader and then re-install. Same slower than molasses in January going uphill on a cold day result.
I do not have 3rd party Anti-Virus as Windows 8 has it's Defender renamed Security Essentials re-renamed Defender.
PC Specs:
HP ProBook 4530s
Intel Core i7 2630QM Sandy Bridge 2.00 GHz Quad core, with Hyperthreading (8 Logical Threads)

Please Advise.

I came looking for an answer to the same problem.
Ever since the recent upgrade to Acrobat Reader 11.0.2 the program has been unsually slow off and on.
Mine isn't as bad as PhlMike17's, but I too am running a quad core with 8gigs windows pro x64 up to date, I use mostly for Illustrator and Photoshop/web design.
This morning I checked back to a 275kb 1page pdf image copy of an estimate from a partner company, and it loaded then hung for 5-10 seconds as has been the norm since upgrading.
Sometimes it doesn't hang at all, file size doesn't seem to be an issue.
I always do the upgrades.
I am running the Japanese version.
cheers.

Hi,
When you try to start the Remote Destop Connection, what errors it showed out?
Could the other PCs connect this PC with the RDC?
So you have read this blog?
RDP connections might fail due to a problem with KB2621440 - MS12-020
Did you reinstalled the KB2621440?
Besides, did you follow this guide to enable the RDC connection?
Connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection
And also this guide?
Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?
Please take a check with those settings again.
Best regards

Where is the Windows 8 Pro 64-bit ISO download?

Normal tech support has yet to answer this problem. I purchased the $39.99 Windows 8 Pro download, and ran the upgrade on my Windows XP Home Edition (which is 32-bit OS, by design) machine. The machine is fully capable of a 64-bit OS (in
fact, I have a dual boot with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit running in a separate partition). When I finished the Windows 8 Pro install, it turned out to be the 32-bit version. I discovered via the normal support forum that this is a limitation of the
download installer - it chooses without user option the architecture based upon the older Windows version.
I called support and they first thought that the MS store could provide the 64-bit ISO download. That didn't work - they're researching it, though. I tried support again and this time the rep said the installer chooses the architecture based
on what the machine is capable of running. I respectfully disagreed, but that didn't solve my problem.
So, how can I get the 64-bit ISO download, without having to make an ADDITIONAL purchase of the retail DVD version?
- A frustrated IT professional

I attempted to get this problem resolved and entered the truly bizarre world of Microsoft "Support."
The Windows 8 support line took my information, repeatedly put me on hold and then transferred me to another department. I was again asked for all my information, again put on hold repeatedly and then transferred to a third department.
I ended up with a recording saying my call couldn't be completed and was sent back to the 1st support department.
I spent the next 15 minutes again repeatedly being put on hold and I eventually asked for a supervisor who again wanted all my information. At this point I had been on the phone with Microsoft for over an hour and had gotten nowhere so I asked for
a refund. The supervisor said she would process one asked me to go to a web page and click on a link that did not exist on that web page. She spent the next 15 minutes putting me on hold and then returning to the call only to again insist I click
on the non-existent link.
Eventually she figured out that there was a problem with Microsoft's web page and said I would get a call back within 48 hours. 72 hours later I had received no call.
I again called the Windows 8 support line. After 20 minutes I was told that I was calling the wrong department (I had spent over an hour on the phone with them previously) and given another phone number. I called the 2nd phone number and was
given a 3rd phone number. When I called the 3rd number I was given the 1st number once again.
I had spent over 2 hours on the phone with various Microsoft departments and ended up literally right back where I started. I ended up disputing the charge with my credit card company and contacting the Attorney General.
I can happily say that my experiance was the opposite they were freidly and helpfull told me I would need a refund as the 32 Bit Key Code would not work for a 64 Bit download ? rather odd as it was the same code for both 32 and 64 Bit versions discs when I
installed Win 7, and they gave me a web link that took me to my purchase information and I had to Click on the refund link, the email regarding my rufund was in my inbox by the time I had completeed doing the required steps on the web link, the email also
had a link for this same web siteI had visited as well. simple and painless, very stisfied with the helpline, OK so not being warned about it only going to download a software ISO etc. for the present 32 or 64 Bit operating system was annoying and while
a well meaning idea to ensure a simple upgrade was flawed, but easy to get round.

Windows 7 Pro (x64) - Boot Camp 2.0 or 2.1? Boot Camp (64-bit)?

I recently got Windows 7 Professional (x64) - note it's NOT the beta - installed on my late '08 MBP (this was no cake walk...), and I have a question regarding Boot Camp versions. I'm pretty sure I have only Boot Camp 2.0 installed. When I try to run/install the 64 bit Boot Camp 2.1 version/upgrade for 64-bit Vista (BCUpdateVista64.exe), it simply won't start.
I read someplace that this is supposed to happen, as 2.0 is better for my current situation (Windows 7). Other posts seem to suggest I should download and install 2.1 in order to get everything working properly. Which is it?
Under Control Panel in W7, I have a blank icon that says "Boot Camp (32-bit)" and says application not found when clicked. Is there a 64-bit Boot Camp I can install?
I ask all this mainly because I suspect it may bring about some answers regarding trackpad support in Windows 7 (x64). Thanks in advance!

Macbook Pro Unibody
OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard)
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Bootcamp 2.1
Trackpad Update 1.1
Just upgraded my Boot Camp partition from Win XP x32 to Win 7 x64. Or rather, I did a clean install, not an upgrade. I'm running all of the above listed stuff. Muti-Touch isn't working on the tack pad, so I don't have RMB functionality and I'm really missing two finger scrolling.
Also, looking in the Boot Camp Control Panel, I don't appear to have any trackpad options, even after installing the trackpad update. I just tried installing it again, and I get a message saying that it won't update my drivers for the tackpad because what I'm trying to install isn't better than what I already have. That's all well and good, but the pad still isn't working with multi-touch.
Any helpful suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I didn't do anything proactive to get it to work, just the things I mentioned above. Installed Boot Camp 2.1, installed the Trackpad 1.1 update, uninstalled Boot Camp 2.1, Installed Boot Camp 3.0. Side scrolling just started working.
The only thing that's a tad finicky is multi-touch RMB. It works, more or less, but, for example, if I RMB on a bookmark in Firefox to access it's properties (let's say I want to rename it), I have to hold my two fingers down in the click position as as I move the cursor into the conext menu. Otherwise it will launch the bookmarked page. So you can't just two-finger-click on something to evoke a context menu, let go, then use one finger to navigate to the option you want, which is how I would expect it to work.

Windows 7 pro x64 and palm centro

I'm running windows 7 pro X64 and the software installed just fine, but not the driver. Does Palm have any plans for a solution? Are there any third party drivers that will solve my problem without having to install a bluetooth device on my pc?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Hello rpiquette, Welcome to the Palm Support Community!
Palm has moved away from their legacy operating system (PalmOS) and on to a new one called webOS. Since Palm Inc. doesn't even own their own software anymore (Palm Desktop) I'd seriously doubt any further support will be forthcoming for Win7, especially for 64-bit architecture.
Palm Inc. has historically not divulged any "future plans" for software (or hardware). Will a third-party develop a desktop client? I have no idea at this point, but the opportunity certainly exists!

How To Set Up a Virtual Windows 7 Pro OS on a Windows 7 Pro Host - 64-bit

This may be as easy as stating, "Windows 7 Pro 64-bit cannot run on a Windows 7 64-bit host." Most of the documentation I find states something to that effect - however, ALL of that documentation is 5-8 years old. I cannot find ANYTHING in the
last year or so. My hope is that this has changed. All I need/want is to set up a Win7 Pro 64-bit test environment.
I can install Windows Virtual PC successfully. I can run through the wizard to create the .wmcx file. I can successfully mount a Win7 64-bit ISO or point to the CD drive for an installation disc.
What I CAN'T do is successfully load Windows 7 Pro 64-bit in this environment. I receive the following (all details in image):
Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix the problem..not compatible with 64-bit mode.
I checked my CPU against those that are compatible, and my CPU is not even listed. It's an i7-3770 3.40GHz.
Again, I'm currently running 64-bit Win7 Pro - I just need assistance in installing the VM.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, Bob. That pretty much explains it then. I thought about Hyper-V, but that's a little more challenging in a work environment with all of the approval hoops to jump through.
I also considered VMware Workstation, but I recently heard (internal source) that anyone who hits the VM OS (again, Win 7 Pro 64-bit) has to have a license. Every user. This is apparently something relatively new by MS that came out recently. That's a fundamental
issue for me as I want to set up a VM that I might blow away and reimage at any given point - something that is abnormal for our environment.
Thoughts?
I'm not sure what you mean that everyone who hits the VM OS has to have a license. There are no licensing differences for Virtual PC or VMware Workstation with regards to what you need to run a VM.
