i tried to install windows 7 32bit from a usb key, i got to the installation but i couldn't proceed because i got a message saying 512MB is the minimum required and i have 360MB.
i saw some people on the web installed it on 128Mb and less so i'm guessing there's a work around for this issue..
Someone is giving me their older computer, with pretty unimpressive specs. The only thing I'm concerned about is the 512MB of memory. On the other hand, I'm only planning on using the computer to act as a torrent and backup "server."
Will I have any issues running Windows 7? How about 64-bit, which allegedly requires 2GB of memory minimum? If I can't run it, it's not a big deal, but I was hoping to have all my systems running Windows 7.
I was having a problem with dual monitor using 7127 build. But only when I use newest NVIDIA drivers. My tv just flashes a few times, and I can see that fish a couple of times, but then it just goes to like no signal. If I use default drivers which are installed on windows install, then it works fine, but then I dont have NVIDIA control panel and some other features.
My video card is GF 8800GTS 650M 512MB DDR3 DUAL DVI TV PCIE. I would like to know if anyone else is having this problem and If it has been fixed in the newest build, so I could be arsed to do a clean install.
I have tried installing on 1 stick of ram, the old HDD is unplugged, have deleted the partitions, running bios in AHCI mode using 6gb/sec cable, when I look in the drive some windows files have been copied onto the SSD and it is accessable. It is a Corsair Force series 3 120Gb.
I already have SP1 installed and I don't use Live whatever, so why does it keep re-downloading and installing? It must have done that 20 times already at 1.5MB each time and it is always installing when I shut my PC down.
I would like to install XP on another hdd. I already have Windows7 on the computer but am having lots of crashes..BSOD's and thought that if I put XP on the other drive I might be able to tell if its my hardware causing the problems. I have already updated all my drivers and software to no avail.my second sata hdd is listed as G: do I need to make it first boot device to install XP. I looked in the bios but didn't see how to specify a particular drive.

I have a desk top with windows 7 32 bit that has older software. I purchased a laptop that has windows 7 64 bit. I tried to install my older software on the laptop, but was unable because of the 64 bit operating system. Can I install Windows 7 32 bit over the 64 bit, so I can keep my older software.
I purchased the 3-user pack, and accidentally installed the 32 bit version when I wanted the 64 bit. What is the easiest way to install the 64 bit. I tried to insert the disk and restart, but it is telling me that the software is incompatible.
I recently purchased a Samsung 840 SSD, and a new copy of windows 7. I currently have windows 32 bit installed on my PC, but then new copy I bought is a 64 bit version.
If anyone could run me through the installation process of the new version of windows that would be great. I want to get rid of the OS I am running currently but keep all the files on my HDD, this meaning I want my SSD to be my C: with my OS and a few applications on it.
I will have a brand new SSD on Tuesday and want to have my OS on it. The plan is to install it, install Win 7 on it and then my old hard drive that has the OS on it will still be usable and will not cause any issues, since if I boot from the SSD then the old OS on the HDD would not be a problem.
Will this work and what will happen to all of the apps I have on the hard drive?
So I built a new PC (first time builder) and surprisingly there were no issues installing any of the hardware components, and everything has been going well so far.... until it was time to install the windows 7 OS. The installation approached 99% and then it asked for the product activation key and it did not work. After researching the issue online, I found that I was using a windows 7 'upgrade' disk rather than an actual full license for Windows 7. Luckily, I had only paid $10 for the disk at my school as part of a student discount. So now I have the 99% complete install present on the computer and when I boot up the system it brings me straight to where I need to enter in the product key, which is always not going to work. This morning I purchased the Window 7 home premium edition OEM 64 bit for $99 on newegg, (I realize that it is tied to the unique mobo in my computer). My question is that can I format my SSD now to remove all the previous installation windows 7 upgrade junk before I install the OEM version, or will it bring me straight back to the screen where I need to enter the product key again for the upgrade version? Will the copy that I ordered recognize that it is a different version of Windows 7 and prompt me to format my ssd before the install?
I would like to ask for forum members diagnosis before I go spend hours working on the laptop for hours. The security software on the laptop will not work because Windows 7 SP1 has not been installed on the laptop. I can't seem to download SP1 from Microsoft. The local office of Geek Squad diagnosed the problem being that there is a problem with Windows 7 and it will need to be re-installed. I would like to see if forum members agree or have a different diagnosis. Its going to take me quite a while to re-install windows 7 and I would like to get a second opinion before I devote that sort of time.

I was thinking of buying windows 7 and a new HDD for myself for xmas and I wanted to install 7 on the new HDD. I currently have XP installed on my HDD at home and I was wondering if it were possible to install 7 on the new hard drive I buy and still have access to the files and programs on the other drive? Will the other programs be able to run from another hard drive or will they NEED to be installed on the new one?
I have some updated software that requires .net Framework 4 to run.I use this on an older laptop that I have not ever used on line. By never going on line, I think this is the greatest virus protection ever. Anyway, to install the Framework 4 from Microsoft, one of the requirements is to be on line, which I do not want to do. Is there any way to install this Microsoft software without hooking up on line?

I am trying to install SP1 for W7 on an x64 machine, but run into a BSOD during the process (one of the times the machine reboots to install the SP). The stop code is the classic 0x7B, but there is no "title" for the error.W7 ran fine for a few days, as I was gradually installing updates. However now, while installing SP1 I can't finish the installation or even boot into safe mode.
I have formatted and copied windows 7 to my 4GB USB key and I have installed a new HDD into my Dell Optiplex 745. When I boot up the computer I am notified with:PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cablePXE-M0F: Existing Broadcom PXE ROMI have searched and found out that this can be caused by a bad hdd but this can't be the case seeing that I literally opened it new from it's packaging and instantly installed it. Also I heard that in order to install via USB you need to place USB to #1 in boot sequence. I have tried this but when I do this all I get is a screen with a flashing underscore at the top of the screen and I can't do anything. So I changed my boot sequence back to the way it was:1. Onboard or USB Floppy Drive (not present)2. Onboard or USB CD-ROM Drive3. Onboard SATA Hard Drive4. Onboard Network Controller5. USB DeviceI have no backup disk and I have no access to a Windows 7 DVD, all I have is it on USB.
