I upgraded from XP to Win7 on the same computer I used the easy transfer feature but put it on my C drive Now I cannot do the transfer because it says I don't have enough memory. I cannot move the windows.old folder to my 2TB external drive to free up space on my C drive. I have MANY other issues, but would like to solve this one before moving on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kim in Cincy

Hello. Few years ago I bought Windows Vista Home Basic x32 ONLY. Now I need OS processing on x64 CPU architecture. Can I somehow, using Windows Anytime Upgrade, upgrade my old OS to new x64? Maybe I can firstly upgrade it to Win Vista Home Premium x32 and then to x64? Also, I wanted to ask you if you really can feel the difference in functionality using x64 OS (ofcourse, on x64 CPU) instead of x32 (on the same x64 CPU). Thank you in advance and sorry for my poor language (I am not english native speaker).

Hey guys, first post here, woohoo! So I have been running Windows XP on my laptop for a long time. I've tried Ubuntu 11.10 with wubi which I thought was sweet, but I tried the Windows 8 Consumer preview on my lab computer running windows 7 at school and was blown away. I decided to see if my home laptop was compatible with the preview. As you can see, it is: It's a Dell Inspiron 6400 running at 1.83 gigahertz, 2 gigabytes of RAM, 20 gigabytes of open hard drive space. SInce I already had it burned to a DVD, I used the ISO install first. It got to 32 percent or so and then my computer just froze. I left it for an hour but with no change, so just powered it off and started it up again. I tried it again with the same result. So I tried the web installer, but with no avail. It still froze part way through, around 30 percent. I uninstalled Ubuntu before trying to install the preview the first time by the way. If anyone could shed some light on what is going on, I would be very grateful. Thanks.
