Upgrading Using A Volume Windows 7 Dvd?

Nov 17, 2010

I was given a laptop at work. It came with win 7 home. The workplace has access to a win 7 pro dvd for which apparently no key needs to be entered.

1. Can I upgrade using win 7 anytime upgrade using the in 7 pro dvd from work? Or does it require a reinstallation?

2. If it is a reinstall, is there some way use the drivers already on the laptop to make things easier? There is a recovery partition on the laptop ~16GB, there is also a drivers partition.

3. If I can do an upgrade, can I change the language? The current language on the laptop is european; the language on the win 7 pro dvd is english.

Soft Recording Volume With Blue Yeti / Increasing Volume Distorts Audio

Mar 28, 2012

so i have a blue yeti, and i'm an online animator/voice actor. whenever i record audio on my blue yeti (or any other mic) i record about 4-6 inches from the mic, and turn the gain down enough that the audio doesn't peak as i yell or whatever. this is what you're supposed to do if you don't want your audio levels peaking and making your recording sound horrible and corrupted. however, afterwards, it means i have really quite recordings. not a problem right? now that it's recorded right, i can boost the volume of the entire clip afterwards right? wrong. i'm not an audio expert so i must be missing something. but why in gods name would the audio distort and peak after it's recorded successfully? it's all there, it's all clean audio. if i turn the volume on my speakers all the way up it sounds crystal clear! all i want to do is do that inside the computer so that when i upload it to Internet people don't have to turn their speakers so far up. but if i increase the clips volume in the computer, it distorts! it sounds awful! why?! i tried in sony acid and audacity and they both do the same thing! i can take sound effects, and recordings made by other producers and crank them up nice and loud, but mine just fall apart!

Volume Buttons Is Not Adjusting Volume On New Keyboard

Mar 1, 2012

I just received a new keyboard today: Thermaltake Challenger Ultimate. I went from a Logitech G15.

First thing I did was connect the keyboard and install the software that came along on the CD, it probably also installed the correct drivers. First after this did I uninstall the software and drivers from the old Logitech G15. But before that, and now after, the volume buttons on my new keyboard is still not adjusting the volume when I press them.

A speaker-icon like this shows up when I press the volume buttons, so its not that the keys are not working: (ignore the text behind it, its me writing an assignment)

Upgrading From XP 64 To Windows 7 64?

Dec 22, 2012

I have Hitman: Absolution and Microsoft Office 2010, that both need Windows 7. Luckily, I have an official Windows 7 install disc for both 32 and 64. Now, backing up all my qaqa on 4.7 GB dvd discs would be a hassle, and that would be what I'm looking at because there is only one hard drive. My question: What are the downsides to just installing Windows 7 64 bit over Windows XP 64 bit, rather than backup files -> reformat -> clean install?

Upgrading Windows 7 32 Bit To 64 Bit

Oct 7, 2011

I recently got a new computer, built it from the ground up for gaming. My school is part of MSDNAA fun time so I was able to get a free version of Windows 7 64bit service pack 1. I downloaded the files and it was an .iso file.

The first try, I ended up burning the .iso file its self to a disk with out mounting it then downloading the files onto the disk that way. So that didn't work.

The next thing I tried was downloading the actual files needed to install the OS onto a flash drive. The reason that didn't work was because I didn't format the flash drive correctly before I downloaded the files onto it. I then tried to format the flash drive but now I can't even open it or do anything else with it.

I ended up asking a friend who had a boot disk for Windows 7. The only problem is that he didn't know if it was 32 bit or 64. This disk actually worked... the only problem is that it's 32 bit.

I ended up getting another disk and downloaded the, what I believe, right files onto it. Popped it into my new computer to hopefully install the 64 bit version of the OS and over right the 32 bit version, or have it reformat my hard drive then install the OS. So far it isn't working.

Is there any advice I could get from you guys. I was thinking about wiping my hard drive and starting from scratch, hoping that the 64 bit disk I burned would work. So far, I haven't been able to actually wipe it, so I'm at a bit of a cross roads.

Upgrading Windows Onto A New SSD

Jun 5, 2012

I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium on a basic HD. I recently purchased a new SSD and a full installation of Windows Ultimate.

I would like to install Windows Ultimate to the SSD and use my old HD as a secondary storage device. Most importantly, I do not want to lose any of my documents or personal files currently stored on the old HD.

I'm looking for advice or recommendations on the best approach here. Should I do a full Win7 Ultimate install to the SSD and leave Win7 Home Premium on the secondary drive? Or, is there a better way to migrate files from the secondary drive to the new SSD and then format the old HD?

Upgrading To Windows 7 From XP?

Apr 22, 2012

I was looking up previous topics regarding upgrading to Windows 7 and was not really finding any definitive answers. I have been perfectly happy and content with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and have been flirting with the idea of upgrading to Windows 7What brought me to this was I want to install and play Battlefield 3 which only runs on Windows 7. I have a nice system even by today's standards, so I ran the Microsoft's upgrade to Windows 7 app checker. It told me that most programs would be fine but there are some like K-lite's Codec Pack and such that it is unclear if there is compatability. Now I am not going to backup data, clean install Windows 7, and reinstall all programs and apps just to play one game.

Windows 7 Upgrading From 32 Bit To 64 Bit?

Dec 26, 2011

Already installed Windows 7 Professional 32 bit via valid MSDN account. I now want to go to 64 bit as 32 bit version cannot address all of installed 6gb RAM.

My question is did my original MSDN download include both 32 bit and 64 bit versions and therefore I can 'reinstall' from that iso or do I have to download specific 64 bit version and use the same key ?

Upgrading From XP To Windows 7 Using USB?

Feb 2, 2012

I am trying to upgrade to Windows 7 because there are various programs that I would like to use but I am unable to because I am running on a 32 bit operating system, and quite frankly, the OS is outdated and it is time for an upgrade anyway.But I can't afford to buy the operating system at the moment so I downloaded an ISO file and I am trying to create a bootable USB, but the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool won't work, it copies all of the files to the drive but it can't make it bootable because bootsect.exe is not a valid Windows XP application.So the question I'm asking is does anyone know of another way to make the USB drive bootable? I tried a program called WinSetupFromUSB but it stops me before the installation process starts and prompts me to browse for drivers, and I haven't been able to solve this problem yet

Upgrading From 32 Bit To 64 Bit Windows 7?

Apr 17, 2012

So, I recently upped my RAM capability from 4Gb to 8Gb DDR3. My Processor (a core i3) is 64 bit compatible, and I want to upgrade to 64 bit windows 7.

Just a few things to note here: I have 2 physical hard drives. a 250Gb one that is my main boot drive, and contains the 32 bit windows 7. The other is a 320Gb one that was in my old PC before I upgraded, and transferred it over. This second hard drive still contains Windows Vista, and I access files, games and programmes from it regularly.

My question is this, With this set-up is it feasible for me to upgrade to 64 bit? If so, what would be the best way to go about it? (I have read up a bit on microsofts own page).

Upgrading From XP To Windows 7

Feb 26, 2012

I managed to fill up a 250GB HD so I installed a 1TB in the spare bay then used the Seagate drive copy utility to migrate the OS and all of my data. Once I made the new drive the 1st boot it became obvious that something was wrong. It boots slower and just doesn't seem as fast overall. Its a faster/newer drive so I can't figure out what's going on. Anyway, after much consideration I have decided to put W7 64 bit on the new drive then move data over to it as needed. There isn't enough room on the old drive to download the upgrade so do I need to buy the upgrade in disk form or can I download and run it from the 1TB drive?

Upgrading From XP To Windows 7 With A Pentium IV HT

Aug 14, 2010

I currently run a 3.0 GHz Pentium IV HT that runs well on XP. I think the processor was built especially to be run with that OS. However, I'm thinking about upgrading to 7 and while everything looks compatible thus far, I haven't been able to figure out whether HT will work with 7. Should I just stick with XP?

Upgrading Motherboard On Windows 7

Feb 11, 2009

I am going to be upgrading my motherboard, along with the processor and memory, with an existing Windows 7 installation. I always expect things to go horribly wrong, of course, so I have backed up as needed. Still, I would really rather do a successful upgrade of the OS rather than a clean install.I know with XP you can just do a repair install before letting the OS boot with the new hardware, but I have never upgraded this way with Vista, and I expect 7 is similar to Vista. I saw that it may help my chances to delete the current IDE controllers before the change ( MSFN Forums > New Motherboard upgrade with Vista ). Does that mean I just delete the relevant drivers in Device Manager? I'm not clear about exactly which drivers this entails in Device Manager. And the following link is for XP, but I'm wondering how relevant it would be on Vista or Windows 7: How to replace the motherboard on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000 The new motherboard should be fairly similar otherwise, it would be updating from an AMD SB600 south bridge to an SB700, but it's staying with an AMD brand chip etc.

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 32 Bit To 64 Bit Windows 7 And CD Won't Execute?

Dec 13, 2011

Im trying to upgrade my 32 bit home premium to 64 bit professional. I bought the new key from the student website and downloaded the files and extracted them. Then i burned those files onto a DVD and restarted my computer and modified the BIOS to have the first start priority to be the rom drive. The problem is that it seems nothing is executing when the CD is executed and it just goes right to the currently installed OS. I used the standard windows burner, is there something i need to click to make the CD executable?
