HI -i want 2 upgrade 2 vista 64bit -other than goin through all my hardware and goin 2 all the manufacturers web sites its there a free app or some thing 2 do it 4 me.... im lazy -i know there was 1 sayin if ur computer could run vista... that's the 1 i used
What are you talking about? Are you talking about something to install all your drivers after the install? All that info should be on your PC somewhere. There should be a tag on it with a serial or something, that has the place to download all that stuff if it is an OEM vendor.
i to have been thinking about upgrading to vista 64 bit, but i have heard of too many problems with it, i work in the computer field and i have seen pc's with 64 bit, if you aren't doing alot on it it's not bad, but if you have alot of software you have to make sure it's all 64bit compatible, 64 bit is that good unless you are going to run more then 4 gigs of ram, i have 4 gigs in my machine right now, and nothing can slow it down, i would think long and hard before you upgraded.
when this computer had windows XP on it i ran i program on it and it said it could run vista no prob so i went and brought a vista install cd and installed it no prob now i need more ram and i have a 64bit processor and i would like 2 know if there is a program that i can run 2 tell me if 64 bit vista will run. its just 1 that i keep upgrading its about 5yrs old
if u got to microsoft's webpage they have an app you can run that will tell you if you can run vista or not.
If your PC can already run Vista, then the only other thing you need to check is if your processor supports 64-bit. What processor do you have? (If you don't know, download a little program called CPUZ, it'll tell you) Link here: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
That depends, look up the manufacturer's website for your motherboard and any peripherals you're using (outside of the basic keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers)
Use this program to find out what motherboard you have: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php Then tell us, and we'll have a look.
So you went to the manufacturer's site to see if they have 64-bit drivers? Graphics drivers will be available in 64-bit so no need to worry about those. Apart from that any particular third party programs you use (don't need to worry about games) and any peripherals.
All the standalone apps should work fine, it's only ones that have their own device drivers that could cause issue, such as DAEMONTools - I'm pretty sure that would have a 64-bit counterpart, but other programs like it may not.
