Windows 10: Windows 7 32 bit Overscan Issue

I have an Acer Aspire One Notebook Laptop and I've been having this issue for 2 years with no specific answers. Yes I know its old but I still want to use it until I can afford a new laptop.It was completely fine before I got my screen replaced. When I took it back up there for this issue, the guys had no clue what to do. So maybe you guys know something they don't?A lot of my screen is cut off at 1024 x 728, and when I do get it right at 1024 x 600 , the top part has a black border or everything is oversized.I know its a very outdated laptop, but I can't afford a new one. Please any suggestio

:)

 

Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit to 32-Bit?

Hi,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

• 
  What is the name of the game?
  

If the system architect is 32 bit, then you can’t install 64 bit version of windows in it. I suggest you to run “winver” by pressing Windows + R, and check the version and bit.

There are some games that you can install it in 32 bit as well.

Windows 10 is the free upgrade for those users who has genuine key for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 , normally it doesn't require activation, it's gets activated automatically, in case if you face an issue with activation the you can get back to
us.



For reference you can refer the link below and check if it helps (32 bit and 64 bit architect applies same to windows 10)

Windows 10 Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit

So, Windows 10 Upgrade is being rolled out worldwide, and I have 'reserved' my upgrade.

Currently my computer is running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. I'm planning to 'upgrade' it to Windows 10 64-bit (via fresh install, of course).

After reading many references, these will be the steps I'll do:

1. Let the "Get Windows 10" app upgrade my OS to Windows 10 32-bit
   
2. Note the activation key
   
3. Download the Installation Media for Windows 10, but choosing 64-bit instead
   
4. Perform a clean install
   
5. Reactivate using the activation key in Step #2
   

(Of course I'll backup my data first.)

However, I still have some questions:

1. On Windows 7, the activation key does not differ between 32- or 64-bit versions. Is it still so with Windows 10?
   
2. Will I be able to download a different architecture on Step #3?
   
3. Is there anything I need to prepare beforehand?
   

Thank you for your assistance.

 

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.
