BSOD After Upgrading To Windows 7 Ultimate?

Apr 17, 2012

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.

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.

Upgrading Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit To 64 Ultiamte

Jan 6, 2013

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....."

Upgrading Windows 7 Home Premium To Ultimate

Dec 6, 2011

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.

Upgrading From Enterprise To Ultimate On SSD?

Sep 7, 2012

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.

Upgrading From Windows XP Pro To Windows 7 Ultimate

Dec 30, 2011

I currently have a licensed copy of Windows XP Pro and would like to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. I am able to purchase an upgrade disc (Windows 7) from my university for less than $10. I understand that there is no direct upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7 so a "Custom" install is required. I have run the "Windows 7 upgrade advisor" and my system meets the requirements. I have backed up all of my data and located all of my program discs/installation files. Does any one know of a reason why I shouldn't use the upgrade disc as opposed to buying a full copy of Windows 7? I'm not trying to be cheap , but If I can can save a couple hundred bucks on the Operating System, then I can spend more money on hardware.

Can't Upgrade From Vista Ultimate To Windows 7 Ultimate

Feb 21, 2012

I bought the full retail Win 7 Ultimate and trying to upgrade Windows Vista Ultimate to Win 7 Ultimate, both 32bit. I get to the Expanding Windows files to 21% and nothing. The program is still running and stuck at 21% but after waiting 3 hours I shut power off and Vista was reinstated. Why can't I get past 21% Expanding Windows files? I want to use the upgrade because I have a ton of programs on my Vista and don't want to spend days reinstalling them.

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.
