Upgrading HP Pavillion DV6000 From 32 Bit Vista Home To Windows 7

May 2, 2012

I have searched the forum for some answers to a few questions.Would it be worth it to upgrade my HP Pavillion DV6000 from Windows vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64bit? . The warrantie ran out and the hard drive crashed the pc is five years old but is is great shape. I have looked around and as of now windows vista is more expensive than Windows 7 . What I do not understand is why would HP put a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit system ?. Was it not running correct with 64 bit OS? This laptop has all kinds of cool devices on it webcam remote for media center light scribe including touch controls by power button I do not want to loose any of those functions. It has Nvidia geforce 7100 mobile graphcs to I just want to make pc better without loosing anything.anyone know where I can get step by step install for this laptop model I think what I want involves all the drivers including webcam,lightscribe,touch controls which are part of media controls ,remote control for media center?.

Upgrading From Vista Home Premium To Windows 7?

Mar 11, 2012

Having used the Microsoft upgrade advisor, I bought a download of Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. I created the ISO disk as advised and started the installation. The installation seems to go fine until the end when I get the message that upgrade was unsuccessful and Vista is being restored. No other message is given. Antivirus (Kaspersky) is turned off for the install. Its starting to drive me mad...

Upgrading To 64-bit Windows 7 Pro From 32-bit Vista Home Premium?

Jul 5, 2012

Admittedly I feel a little late to the party with Windows 7 (what with 8 being on the horizon) but after several years (!) of plugging away with Vista Home Premium on my laptop (used every day for work), I'm at the point where I need to update it.Don't have the money to replace it outright, and it's also recently had a new HDD and RAM upgrade, so I'm exploring the possibility of finally upgrading to Win 7 (particularly seeing as mainstream support of Vista has now finished).From what I understand, a clean install of Win 7 is probably better than an update over Vista (and I am happy to do a clean install as I have all programs and everything backed up), but the one thing I am unsure of is whether I can jump to 64-bit Win 7 Professional with the hardware specs of my machine.The laptop is an Acer 5103WLMi with the following spec (from System Information): [code] The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor report seems to indicate that upgrading to 64-bit is possible on a custom install, but the IT tech I spoke to at work says that because System Information lists the System Type as 'X86-based PC' that it can only use a 32-bit version of Windows.

Upgrading From Vista Home Premium To 7 Home Premium?

Apr 17, 2012

Yesterday I was messing around on my brand-new laptop, and I was stupid enough to try a keygen to get Ultimate (I had HP). Surprising. It worked but the copy wasn't genuine obviously. So then I rebooted, pressed F8 at boot. An ran Toshibas recovery to try to get the computer to its out of box state. I got stuck at initializomg (either that or I was impaptient) so I turned off the laptop. Then when I truer to boot I got bootmgr is missing. I have an old vista Hp disk so I installed that for the time being. So my question is, how do I get it back to the original state? I do t have any important data or anything.

Upgrading Vista To Windows 7 Without Installing Vista First?

Mar 23, 2012

I have a legitimate copy of Windows Vista with key codes etc and I have a legitimate upgrade disk for Windows 7. I had Windows 7 installed on a previous system build which had a HD crash and now I am starting again from scratch (wiyh backed up data).

Like a dolt, I installed Wondows 7 before I remembered it was an upgrade edition. I've looked all over the MS site and don't see a method I can use to Activate Windows 7 from this point. way to use my legitimate Windows disks and keys without having to wipe the drive, install Vista and then install Windows 7 yet again.

It's aggravating to have legitimate software and not be able to use it without needing to trick the system - surely there is a way to not have to start all over?

HP Pavillion, Performance Lower Than Vista

Oct 3, 2009

a few days ago, I formatted my HP pavillion dv6870ej laptop (core 2 duo 2.8, 3GB, SATA 320GB drive, Nvidia 8400M)

it came with vista and performance was really good.

I installed win 7 rc (I need it to be a legit copy, and the 1-year evaluation offer wins my attention)

I updated all drivers and ran a radersync..

I was expecting a slimmer, faster OS.

but Win 7, while acceptable still feels a little behind vista, most notable is the application launch time, office 2007 word or excel takes about twice the time to launch on Windows 7 than on vista.

GUI also feels a little bit slow, while still responsive it does not have the screaming fast feeling I had with vista.

my WEI scores are 5.1 - 5.8 in all categories, except for display , aero graphics is 2.2 (!!!), and gaming graphics is 5.1

could any of you point me to what could be wrong ? what can't I see the performance boost and why is it slower than vista ?

Upgrading Windows 7 Vista 32 Bit To 7 64-bit?

Oct 12, 2011

So I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit. I boot it up, do the clean install, works like a charm for a while, restarts a couple times. And then it just goes blank when the username screen should load up. I've tried repairing the OS, reinstalling Vista and then reinstalling 7 again. I dunno what else to try at this point. I've tried it a couple times now and always does it

Upgrading Vista To Windows 7 ?

Sep 2, 2010

I am planning to upgrade Windows Vista Home to Windows 7 Professional. If my thinking is correct then I will have to do a clean install for Win 7 because I can't upgrade straight from Vista Home to Win 7 Professional. What I need to know is if I run the backup utility on Vista to backup my music, docs, pics, etc. if it will be restored into the correct folders in Win 7? (I've never done this type of install before).

Upgrading From 32-bit Vista To Windows 7 64-bit?

Apr 21, 2011

so I'm upgrading from 32-bit Vista to Win 7 64-bit. I know I need to backup all my data and completely wipe my drive clean.My question is this, and it's probably an easy one to answer: I have two hard drives, one of which has the OS, the other obviously does not. I only have to wipe the drive that will have the OS on it, correct? Should I disconnect the 2nd hard drive while wiping/installing 7 just in case?

Upgrading From Vista To Windows 7

Sep 30, 2011

My cousin owns Toshiba Satellite L305-S5937 Laptop.It has only two disk drives, C and D.Currently C has windows Vista.So I tried installing Windows 7 on D drive. The windows setup installed everything, restarted, it showed 'Preparing windows for the first time' and 'Checking video performance'. Welcome screen appeared.After that, it restarted again on the welcome screen, saying- logging off, windows is shutting down.This time when it started, beyond toshiba screen, it said:'BOOTMGR is compressed'.I never had such a problem with installing windows.Even vista wont work.So i booted from the disc again, thought of jumping onto vista again.Formatted the drive from windows installation disc, on which i installed windows 7.Restarted again.Still the problem is the same.BOOTMGR is compressed.

Upgrading 7 Home Basic 32 To 7 Home Premium 64

Jun 22, 2011

I have sort of a special case here. I purchased my HP laptop in Thailand, and much to my chagrin it came installed with Windows 7 Home Basic. In addition, the HP store which sold me the laptop installed 4gb of RAM neglecting to tell me that the 32bit version of 7 only supported up to 3. At any rate, I am hoping to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 Bit edition.But while there is a glut of information online about how to upgrade from Starter, there is little to nothing about Home Basic. Do I have to buy a full copy of 7 Home Premium 64 Bit? Can I buy an Anytime Upgrade that is meant for Starter and apply it to my computer?

Sound Crashes After Upgrading To Windows 7 From Vista?

Jan 15, 2012

I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista. Before upgrading, everything was fine. Now, I have a rather annoying sound problem. When I play anything that uses flash, the program will freeze up and have to be ended. After this point, the sound on my computer is completely gone until I restart the system. Additionally, I cannot access the volume control panel or anything that deals with the sound settings after this particular event occurs. I've been doing a little bit of research, and it sounds like the IDT sound codec is the problem. I followed the instructions on this link to a point. Fixing Flash Crashes after Windows 7 Upgrade: IDT Sound Codec Conflicts with Flash Drivers Causing Crashes |[URL] Here are the instructions that it gives: Disabling Software at Boot:

Click on the Start button, and then click 'Run...'In the Run window, type msconfig and click 'OK'.Go to the 'Startup' tab and locate the Startup Item named IDT PC Audio by IDT, Inc.Uncheck the IDT PC Audio item.Click 'Apply', and then click 'OK'.Reboot the laptop for the change to take effect.
Disabling Enhancements:Click on the Start button, then click Control Panel, and click 'Sound' from the context menu.Highlight 'Speakers / Headphones' from the list of playback devices, then click on the 'Properties' button.Go to the 'Enhancements' tab, and check the checkbox labeled 'Disable all enhancements'.Click 'Apply', and then click 'OK'.Highlight 'Independent (R.T.C.) Headphones' from the list of playback devices, then click on the 'Properties' button.Go to the 'Effects' tab, and check the checkbox labels 'Disable System Effects'.Click 'Apply', and then click 'OK'.Click 'OK'.

My problem with following these instructions is that I do not have 'Independent (R.T.C.) Headphones' in the list of playback devices. The four playback devices that I have listed are 'Digital Output Device (HDMI)', 'Speakers and Dual Headphones','Independent Dual Headphones' and 'SPDIF (Digital Out via HP Dock)'. That being the case, I cannot disable the last portion of the IDT sound codec. As a result, my problem persists. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get around this. Would it be wise to just uninstall the idt sound codec altogether? My computer is the HP Pavillion dv7-2185dx Entertainment Notebook PC?
