I would just like to add on I've seen many videos but one step fails me every time - it says that the plugged in ds will appear under "other devices" - however when in device manager I can't find "other devices"
No, not unless all of the following .Confirm that the computer's processor and motherboard are both 64bit. All 64bit Windows Operating systems will only work on computers that have both 64bit processor and 64bit motherboard architectures.Confirm the computer has no less then the other minimum hardware requirements (Processor Speed, Ram memory, Hard Drive memory, etc.) for the Windows 7 64bit version you want to install.Windows XP 32bit must be removed/deleted before doing a clean install of Windows 7 64bit on the hard drive.
The difference between 32bit windows and 64bit windows is the resolution of the image and the higher the bit the better the image.
No
Platform-dependent (Windows, Linux, AIX, MacOs etx), but gcc seems to be a safe bet.
you dont, get a new computer
Yes, in "My Computer" open the cd drive, and right click on setup.exe, choose 'run as administrator'. It works on both 32bit and 64bit windows 7 pro.
bata was windows xp 64bit
Right click the my computer icon on your desktop and look under properties, it should be listed there.
Yes, you can.
If your computer is 64bit capable then if you buy, say, Windows 7 and it has BOTH 32 bit and 64 bit versions on it then yes it's free. You would have to contact Microsoft to see if you would have to pay to upgrade from a 32bit version W7 to a 64bit version.You have to find out if the computer is capable of supporting a 64bit OS. if it isn't then you'll have to buy a new computer or replace the mother board and you would still have to have a 64bit OS to use it to it's full potential.Apple's MacOS and computers from 2006 up are already 64 bit capable.
Just to be safe I would not do it only because a 32bit and a 64bit run on entirely different functions.
Only with 32bit not 64bit
