I having trouble upgrading my laptop from a windows 7 32-bit os to a 64-bit windows 7 os. I previously had windows vista 32-bit on the laptop but upgraded to windows 7. I used the usb download tool the first time for the around for the 32-bit system and it worked perfectly. Now I'm wanting to upgrade my laptop to the 64-bit os but am having trouble in doing so.
I downloaded the os from the microsoft student store and downloaded the.ios version. I put it into my usb using the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool, as I did the first time and when I click the start up I receive an error message that says: ' The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.'
I didn't install the 64-bit version the first time around because the laptop did not have sufficient RAM, I went from a 1 gb to a 4 gb. I would also like to install it from my usb flash drive if at all possible again. I've been looking around this site for a while looking for solutions and none yet have worked.
You have to boot from the USB Thumb drive, you cannot start the installation from within Windows 7 32 bit. You will have to do a clean installation, there is no in place upgrade path from Windows 7 32 Bit to 64 bit. Using the Windows 7 64 bit disk, install the Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (To find it, just navigate to x: support migwiz, 'x:' represents the name of your disk drive. In this folder, you will see a collection of files, the important one you need to look for and double click is 'migsetup'.), run it and create a WET file (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard disk, you can have it stored there so you can access it later when you do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disk. Once you have done that, simply do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disk. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, launch Windows Easy Transfer, follow the on screen wizard, point to where you stored the the WET file (external hard disk), and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall any necessary applications.
