Which 64Bit Version Of Windows For New I5-2500K System With 60gb SSD
Feb 16, 2012
What are the actual installed sizes of the different 64 bit versions of 7? As I understand it, I should go with "Professional" because "Ultimate" uses several gb more and doesn't do anything important with it? What about "Home Premium"- is it smaller? The SSD is only 60gb (A Corsair Force GT)... Obviously 7 is going to inhabit a huge chunk of whatever I am left with after formatting.
know if I can use something to create a custom install of 7?? You know, like that one program that makes an XP CD with only the features you want??? That way I could have a far far smaller 7 install??How important are the Windows 7 SSD optimizations?? Like TRIM and all of that?? Is XP 64-bit usable at all?? I am told that finding drivers for it would be impossible and nothing would ever run right .... I have to have 64 bit OS to use the 16gb of ram..
i am trying to run and install a nikon coolscan 8000 ed and i alredy use windows 7 64 bit but nikon have said it only runs on the 32 bit version how can i change it down to 32 bit
I am attempting to install "Screen Recorder" from MS. When I do I get this msg, stating that it (Screen Recorder) requires Windows Media Encoder 9 64 bit version (I am running Win 7 HP 64 bit), to work, and asks if I would like to install it first. So I select yes, then the install package for Windows Media Encoder 9 64 bit gives me a "Software Compatablity" warning stating that it is not recommended that I have both the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version installed on the same computer. My question is; how do I know if I have the 32 bit version installed, I can't seem to find it anywhere, and am not sure if I do. I don't remember installing it, and I can't find it in Control Panel, Program Features?
Is it possible to convert a Matlab R11 (1999) student version that runs on a 32 bit Windows XP platform to run on a windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit platform?
I have a 60gb ssd and a 1tb HDD. I use the 60gb crucial m4 for Windows 7 only. The rest goes inside the HDD.
So I am asking, Will my 60gb ssd be enough for windows 7? I do all my installations on the HDD. But sometimes, Graphic card drivers and tiny bits of programs and minecraft get in the SSD. But will it be enough for a good 5 years of usage?
Currently, I have 22.4gb free of 59.5gb. For some werid reason, the amount avalible decreases very very slowly. I think its because of the programs I install like itunes. Their configurations get saved and I also have drivers in it. These pesky files get saved inside "program data" and "users".
And is there a way to make installations install on the HDD? When selecting where to install, I select the HDD but some files still go into the SSD.
I have a 60GB Intel SSD that I use as a Windows 7 Home Premium boot drive. I have done my best to keep everything off of this drive except Windows. I have 1 or 2 applications on it; nothing massive at all. In fact, the biggest App is 500mb. However, my drive has somehow accumulated 52GB of data on it. I click the properties of the Windows drive and it say its 14GB in size.
I have gone through and looked at the properties of every single folder on the first level of C and nothing is more than 500Mb Why is this happening? 40GB of information is a lot of data to just be unaccounted for. I have done all of the basic "Clean up" methods, emptied the Trash, etc.
I literally use this computer for gaming only, nothing else except maybe a quick internet search. There is no anti-virus installed, only games and hardware drivers.
I got a copy of Windows 7 32 bit yesterday and didn't realize it wasn't a 64 bit. took it home opened it, installed it.. damn. now what im wondering is if i download a windows 7 64 bit .ISO can i use my 32 bit registration key on the 64 bit version? please someone let me know.
all the files on the C Drive including the hidden file account for 37.3GB with 8.78GB free with Vertex 2's total space of 55.7. Meaning that i have 9.62GB space missing.

I have a problem with my system when I wake it from sleeping. Before going to sleep everything is fine and working the way it should but after waking it from sleep my core 0 is fully pinned at 100%. It seems to only happen when putting the system to sleep.

I want to load it tonight, then in a few days change the graphics card add 3 drives.I know changing a motherboard will void the licence, but will adding all these components in one go void it?
my father was going to upgrade some components in his computer like his memory, optical drives and his hard drive which is on its last limb. He is running XP Pro on his old harddrive but can't find his disc to install it on the new harddrive. He wants to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, and I know that you can get the system builders/oem versions that don't come with as hefty as a price tag which is what I got when I built my computer and everythings running great.What I wanted to know is what is the difference really between the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium for System Builders - OEM on persay, newegg and getting Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium which is about twice the price? I know it doesn't go through the windows tutorial and all that, but I was also wondering if he was having issues with windows could he call microsoft or would he be resposible for any issues with windows(not relating to simple stuff like trouble with installation)? Also, since its not entirely a new build, he still has his old motherboard in his computer, could he use the system builders/oem version without any issues? I don't know if microsoft would have anything to say, I don't want to cause him any hassel or trouble to save a few bucks. And also lets say his motherboard bites the dust in 6 months, would he have any issues using the oem windows 7 if he had to replace that and possibly had to reinstall it on the original hard drive he installed it?
My system builder pack warnings refer to a "fully assembled computer system." I bought it to install on a new system C: drive, but I need to add two data drivers (D: and E later.
I am building a Desktop PC using and OEM version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I will be running asus p8p67 evo mobo and an Intel i7 2600k cpu. Is a 60GB SSD for a boot drive large enough for Windows 7?
I have Win 7/Pro 64 bit, i5 processor, 8 GB RAM.I purchased the 64 bit version of Microsoft Office (via download). Why does the Windows Update list updates to the 32 bit version of Office? Is there any reason to install (or not install) these updates?
As the 60Gb SSD drive is full I want to migrate the whole drive to the empty 250Gb HDD. Of course, no need to say that I want everything to run afterwards without any re-installs (also the files on i and h). I have tried many clone software (Paragon, EaseUS ToDo etc) and the clone goes ok, but it wont boot from the destination drive. Luckily enough I still have the original c drive otherwise I would be stuck! I also looked at the Windows backup and restore, but by default it want to clone all my drives and I cant deselect them (over a Tb of a backup??)
Now what can I do to get this sorted? I just want contents of the 60Gb SSD (with Windows 7) on the empty 250Gb HDD. Also, when cloned, the new drive is not 'c' anymore. How would all programs/files work? Or is the idea that you delete the original drive and then rename the copy to 'c'? I probably do something wrong, but a clean install would take days (as web designer I use loads of software and not looking forward to reinstall all those).
I recently bought a new laptop with a 60gb ssd drive from toshiba. Under the Intel Rapid Storage Technology app, it shows the full 60gb, however under my computer it only shows just under 30gb. I have hidden files shown, and nothing is showing, so Im perplexed, seems to be missing 30gb, half the drive.
I just got my computer up and running today. My next step is to install win 7 on it. So i got win 7 pro 64 bit through digital river with a sweet student discount and also a back up disc that came in the mail. I have noticed that it says upgrade on it though. I have been hearing and being told so many different things that i can not tell what is true.
Please only post an answer if you are certain it is correct
Thank you and with that being said here are my questions
Questions:
Could someone please explain to me what i am exactly supposed to do with the backup disc? Can i use this on a new computer, ie one without any os on it already?
A friend referred me to this site. It sounds very confusing and i am not very tech savvy when it comes to things like this. Will i need to install it onto a different computer in order to do this boot-able upgrade? does the back up disc come into play? Could someone please explain the instructions in a very simplistic way.
I got windows 7 on my PC but when I start the machine I get this error message: "this version of Audio ESP is not intended for this Operating System".I searched Google but cannot find the right driver.
