Upgrading RAM From 4GB To 8GB For Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit?
Oct 29, 2012
I've a 2 years old laptop - Lifebook AH550 with:
i5-430M
Windows7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1
4GB RAM (DDR3,SODIMM, 1066MHz)
320GB HDD at 5400rpm
1695MB Shared Graphics
I'm planning to replace the 32-bit OS with 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. This laptop can support 8GB as mentioned in the catalogue. I guess the processor i5-430M is the first generation processor. I'm getting two 4GB RAM modules fairly cheap with same speed specifi'x.
I've no plans to trade off this laptop because its a rare "breed" - Made in Japan by Fujitsu and after 2 years of service it still runs extremely well.

About a week ago I updated my computer to Windows 7 Ultimate. Since then, 90% of the time, when I boot up the computer a black screen appears on my screen and no desktop shows up. I can't do anything like get to to a task manager but the computer works fine in safe mode. Strangely, if I leave the computer for a couple of hours the black screen disappears and everything works perfectly.

So I have the windows 7 32 bit ultimate installed into my new computer by mistake, but im only using 4 out of the 16GB ram that I have. and I am hoping to install the 64 bit instead.however, I do not have the windows 7 32 bits disk as I used my brother's copy. What I DO have is a 64 bit windows 7 ultimate "upgrade" legit download from my school that is burnt into a dis., not sure if it is the same thing as the windows installation disk itself. the size is 3.18 GB..how then, can I change to 64 bit in this case, because when i attempt to simply run the 64 bit upgrade it just say "the installation disk isn't compatible with your version of windows....."

I finally got Windows 7 and I was hoping I could finally switch to 64-bit (I took long enough to join the rest of the world) but I am having issues upgrading to it from XP.Now, I do know that I can't directly upgrade from XP to 7 without losing all my junk, I know everything is compatible (ran the Upgrade Advisor thing), and I'm following the process on the official site url...However, I can't seem to get it to boot from the disk. I've changed the boot order to the "DVD/CD" option being first, Hard Disk second and Floppy last but it seemed to just ignore the DVD. After that, I even changed the boot order so it would only try to boot from DVD/CD and set the other two settings to "Nothing" BUT it completely ignored that and somehow just started normally. I even tried opening to Boot Menu as well, going down to the DVD/CD option and pressing enter, but that didn't do anything whatsoever.

In case anyone is running into issues trying to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate, I did the following things and got it to work. I ran into the "Can't upgrade. Need clean install" issue, and the "you have a later version" issue.
1. Changed the two registry keys in Hkey Local MachineSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersion Changed Edition ID to "Enterprise".Product Name to "Windows 7 Enterprise"
2. Browsed the Windows 7 Ultimate CD directory, found the Setup.exe file, right mouse clicked it, selected "properties", and told 7 that I wanted to run this file in Vista Version 2.
Then ran setup from Windows 7 Home Premium.You obviously need an upgrade license for this to work, but I had just purchased one.

I know that one copy of windows 7 can only activate one computer. I have two, one already with windows 7 32bit installed and one without windows 7. I plan on buying a new one, installing windows 7 on my second computer and upgrading windows 7 to 64bit on the other. If I upgrade, will windows use the old activation key or require me to enter a new one, because that computer came with windows 7 32bit so I don't have the disc.

I want to upgrade my windows 7 32 bit installation to 64bit so I can add some extra ram to my system, but I was wondering if I do a backup on my 32bit install, format the drive, and then install 64 bit windows 7 and recover from the backup will it work? Can you use a 32 bit backup on a 64 bit machine?

I am wanting to upgrade from Win7 32-bit to Win7 64-bit. I am told this will require a clean re-install of Win7. That isn't a problem in and of itself. My question is what will happen to the other RAID 0 arrays in the box? Since they are "software" RAID 0 arrays that were created by WIn7 32-bit after it was installed will they survive intact when I install a new version of Win7 on the base drive? My base drive is not part of a RAID setup. Will the new Win7 64-bit install recognize the two separate RAID 0 arrays automatically? I hate the idea of having to try to backup a couple of TB of data from the RAID 0 arrays (and then restore it) just to install Win7 64-bit.

Memory(RAM) : 4.00 GB

I tried looking online about this I need to know if there's a big difference between 12GB of system memory and 16GB of system memory. I don't play many games but I do convert HD videos a lot and these programs are a pig on ram. I have 8GB now and have ordered 2 4GB sticks and was wondering if I should stay with 2 4GB sticks and 2 2GB sticks(total12GB) or should I upgrade to 16GB.

I am trying to go from 32 bit Vista to 64 bit Windows 7. The 32 bit Vista was installed by mistake. My system can handle a 64 bit OS. Now I have finally found the time to upgrade. But the 64 bit installation DVD can't be read from my OS. I have tried setting up my CMOS so that I can boot from the DVD but I have run into some issues. First of all, when I look at my keyboard during the boot procedure, I noticed that the little light which indicates that one row of buttons are to be used for F1 - F12 keys, the little green led light goes on and off. Sometimes, during the boot process, it is on, sometimes it is off.
The CMOS procedure tells me I can hit F12 and set the boot order. I can hit F12 but when I go into that menu, I notice my keyboard is dead. The CPU does not accept any commands from me. So I need to power off and power on and try again. The CMOS procedure tells me I can hit DEL and that launches the whole CMOS utility. There I can set the boot order so that the DVD is run first. But when I save and exit, I notice my keyboard is dead again. This time, the screen is showing things being set and loaded and I am prompted to hit any key to show I am sure that I want to boot from the DVD.
I hit the Y key and I hit the spacebar, but it becomes clear that my input is ignored since my keyboard is being ignored. And the ol' Vista OS is loaded. Is there any way to set things up in the VISTA OS to force a boot from the DVD? I guess I can load the OS in save mode and format the C drive, but if I do that I might risk having a dead computer since the CMOS does not seem to be trusting enough to boot from the DVD drive even if you tell it to.
Microsoft has this page of links: [URL]
And then there is this link: [URL]
And the Notes section specifies that I need boot off the DVD drive: "To install a 64-bit version of Windows 7 on a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows, you'll need to start, or boot, your computer using a 64-bit Windows 7 installation disc or files."

I've read the windows 7 FAQ and it said of your upgrading from XP, a clean install is required to upgrade but does the upgrade offer allow for xp 32bit to be upgraded to w7 64bit?

I have Enterprise installed on my computer. I just installed an ssd and I reinstalled the enterprise version from my school, but now they offer a ultimate version that's not linked to my schools servers. The enterprise version has to be updated every 90 days from the school license server.
I would like to know if there would be any ill effects from upgrading to another version of windows on an ssd. Even though they are practically the same version, I found a way online to upgrade to this version. The link is below.

I have a computer running a 32 bit oem version of windows 7 home. I really need to change this to a 64 bit version. I do not want to do this illegally. Can I buy this upgrade copy of 7 professional, perform a clean install of windows prof. 64 bit with the upgrade disc, and then use my current oem 32 bit home disc and or license key, to validate that i do in fact have a copy of windows currently.
So technically I wont be "Upgrading" from 32 to 64, I will be re-installing. I have asked several tech savy friends, and while they don't think it cant work, they are unsure. Essentially I am asking if anyone knows what validation windows requires for its upgrade discs. I am given to understand it requires you to put in your original windows disc at some point, and i assume your original key, but will it accept a 32 bit disc/key?

Recently, going back over my quasi-gaming rig, I found out that my processor (Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200) is 64-bit, not 32. I've been running 32-bit Windows 7 ever since I got it. When I bought Windows 7, I did so off of the Microsoft store, so I always have the option to go back into my purchase history and download a new .iso of either the 32- or 64-bit release. I did so, and ran Microsoft's USB/DVD tool for Windows 7 to put it on a USB drive (I didn't have any DVD-R's on hand) and it all seemed to work perfectly fine. But when I try to boot from the USB drive, it goes from the "Windows is loading files" screen to the "Starting Windows" screen, then gives me an unexpected error and forces me to reboot. I already tried redownloading the .iso, in case it was a corrupt download.
