I want to take my Windows 7 from 32-bit to-64 bit. I know that to get from a 32 bit OS to 64 bit you have to do a clean install. Problem is, i upgraded to 7 from Vista about a year ago using a 32 bit version downloadable installer so there's no discs with 32 and 64 bit version. So I guess my real question is can i use a 32 bit upgrade version's key on a 64 bit non-upgrade version? I could download a 64 bit version ISO and do a clean install with that, right?.as long as the key i already have would work?
I wanted to use my 180gb ssd as a boot drive and I do not know what to do.

I have two hdds (500gb 7200rpm) in my laptop and have 260gb of data on the second one. I wanted to create a partition for games at the beggining of the 2nd drive (the left side) as i heard it increased performance to put games in anoher drive and at the beggining of the drive.Will it make difference to make a partition at the beginning or at the end of this drive when it comes to gaming performance?My cousin showed me one game in the same drive installed in the 1st of four partitions of a 500gb 7200rpm (the same i have) performing with 3-5 fps more than that game installed in the 4th partition of that same drive....

I want to know how I can make bootable DVD of windows 7 64bit ultimate, and I have this windows in form of ISO file but I do not know how to make bootable Windows DVD from this ISO file by NERO 8.
Just bought this net-book that came with Win 7 Premium. The first thing they recommend is to make a copy of their OS. Now this netbook did not come back with a burner, which i was aware of anyway. They do recommend a usb flash drive with the capacity of 12 gb's. I do not want to have to spend more money on another gadget just to make a copy of it. I do have a burner in my desktop which i have networked to the net-book, and am trying to see if i could at least copy or share it to my desktop and make copies there...but having a heck of a time so far.
Windows 7 installs million updates after format. How can I put these updates inside on my Windows 7 ISO file? Some people told that you can download manually the updates and copy them to Updates folder which is inside on ISO file. But I can not understand which updates exactly should I copy inside ISO. For example: If I put SP1 inside on ISO, should I also add the other updates which are published before SP1? I mean SP1 includes all updates before itself? I realised that after formatting-clean installation of Windows 7, first some updates are installing, after that SP1 is installing and after SP1 ome other updates are installing? So how can I find these update list or something...
I have a new Win7 pc.It has a built-in dvd drive, but i also have an LG external USB dvd rw drive that was recognised immediately. However, it needs the software to do any burning, but since its intallation, every time i 'log-on' a box appears "Do you want the following program to make changes to your computer". I expected this after the first log-in or boot up, but its every time and therefore becoming a nuisance.
During the Windows 7 installation create a useraccount, let say USER1. This user is an "administrator" by default now.You will call your computer PC-NAME.After installation keep the pc in a workgroup (so do not add the computer to a domain) Now log on to your computer as: PC-NAMEUSER1.Now create a new account: USER2 and do not add a password to this user USER2 will be a regular, normal user, without administrator right or any other special permissions.Now, add your computer PC-NAME to a domain. You will add your computer PC-NAME to (for example) the domain ABC.Now restart your computer.Now your pc is a member of the domain ABC.At this point you will log in your computer locally as: PC-NAMEUSER1 When you are logged in as PC-NAMEUSER1 you have administrator rights to disable your current account. So you will disable PC-NAMEUSER1 and you will see that by default PC-NAMEAdministrator is also already disabled.So when both PC-NAMEUSER1 and PC-NAMEAdministrator are disabled, you will restart your computer.When your computer is back on you are asked to log in again. Try to log in as a local user with administrator rights! For as far as I know, you have a computer without a accessable administrator account. Can you get the administrator enabled again?

How do I make and restore backups from Windows 7?Ho do I make and restore backups from Windows 7? I believe they aredone with images that I do not know about. I tried and when I wantedto restore some part of it, I was told that you cannot restore only apart of it, rather you have to restore the full previous image. Now,wouldn't this overwrite all my newer information?I am a pensioner, so these technologies are getting a bit beyond me.But what I would like to do is back up an image of Windows 7 and mycontent, restore when I need to when things go wrong, and be on my way.Is there such a thing? I need something that is user-friendly andeffective -- whether it is paid or not.
I have recently bought a new computer, pre-loaded with windows 7. I hate it! It seems to me the most stupid retrograde step Microsoft has ever made. After the simplicity of Win XP Microsoft seems to have taken steps to hide everything they can and make it as difficult as possible for the user to comprehend it and....;. Why oh why have they made everything so small. I usually sit about 500mm from the monitor. Now I am getting a stiff neck peering closely to read simple print. Is there any way I can make it all bigger, as I can with Word and I.e?

I really use the functionality of win xp explorer regularly (e.g., moving files to new folders as the project status changes). Is there a way to make win 7 explorer look and act like xp explorer. I also like the search feature of xp explorer and the fact that I can easily see the path name, creation and modification date. All of that stuff is essential for my work. If there is not a way to truly make win 7 professional act like the xp explorer (i.e., efficiently) is there a program I can use to take over this function?
I have a system with two harddrives, one with Vista and one with Win 7. Vista drive was used to boot the system. Recently Vista drive dies, so I tried to boot from Win 7 drive. Since bootsector isn't there I can't. How do I make the remaining Win 7 drive bootable?
I'm working with SSDs how can I be sure Trim is working in Windows 7? The computer I'm doing currently I had to flash the Bios from a P5K to P5KR bios so I could enable AHCI. Device manager shows a AHCI controller as well as others. They supplied a Patriot Wildfire for this build, I had suggested a Intel 320 or 510 series to ensure durability and the Intel utilities.
On the ones I built for myself and my brother and in my laptops I used the 320 series and run the Intel utilities so I don't worry about them. This Patriot Wildfire, no utilities, no firmware updates. Samsung's I wouldn't worry, Kingston I wouldn't worry. Since Trim keeps the drive speeds up I'd like to be sure it is working. I've seen conflicting information on the internet.
