I have A Vostro 3500 i5 running Windows 7 32-bit. It has an HDMI output but there’s no output signal. What do I need to do to fix this problem, and get my HDMI output working? Pretend that I’m not you, or one of your colleagues. Pretend that I’m a lay person who doesn’t understand tech-speak. Pretend that I’m your dad or grandfather. Explain it to me like that. Thanks.

Windows 7 OEM move from 32-bit to 64-bit

I have a Dell Vostro 3700 laptop running OEM 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. I have the 32-bit disks but not 64-bit disks. I would like to move up to a 64-bit operating system. I believe the i5-560M CPU supports 64-bit processing. I cannot download a 64-bit
version of Windows 7 Home Premium from Microsoft any more. Can I:

• Reserve and install a 32-bit version of Windows 10.
• Then download a 64-bit version of Windows 10 from Microsoft for free and activate with my current product key.

 

Error: "This app cannot run on this version of Windows" while connecting to internet on Dell Vostro 3500 computer running Windows 10

I successfully upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on my Dell Vostro 3500 computer, but when I tried to do the same on my Dell Vostro 3700 running the very same operating system, I ran into trouble.

On the Vostro 3700 everything in Windows 10 seems to be okay, except I cannot connect to the Internet. To make Windows 7 run properly after a complete system wipe and reinstall, I had to install two network drivers which I obtained from the Dell site. They
work in Windows 7, but one will not install in Windows 10.

If the Vostro 3500 can run Windows 10, it seems that the Vostro 3700 should be able to, also.

If I cannot fix this, I will have to revert to Windows 7. But I have already cleaned my disk, so I might need to do a complete reinstall of Windows 7 from the manufacturer’s CD. That will be three days completely lost to the ineptitude of Microsoft and its
inability to make its products work properly.

Upgrading my PC from windows-7 32-bit to windows-10 64-bit

I have a Dell Vostro 3500 laptop, which have widows 7 home edition 32-bit. the laptop was originally with 2 GB RAM, where i have upgraded to 4 GB (which is the max for home editions), now as i am using the laptop for some development work, so i need to upgrade the RAM to at-least 8 GB, as currently it is very slow, when i run Visual Studio for example. so i have the following questions:-

1. can i simply download a windows-10 64-bit inside my current laptop, and install it?
   
2. then to purchase 8 GB RAM and plug it to my laptop?
   

or this is more complicated process.

here are my laptop detailed specifications:

second point, which is less important, now i have MS office 2007 running, so not sure if i can have MS office 2007 with windows 10?
