Can't Install Windows 7 On To 64-Bit System. [SOLVED] Empty Can't Install Windows 7 On To 64-Bit System. [SOLVED]

Post by Guest Wed 07 Mar 2012, 22:57

Windows 7 installed perfectly on to my laptop with no problems and after I tried it out, I decided to put it on my actual, good computer.
I currently have Windows Vista Business 64-Bit but whenever I try to install Windows 7, a compatibility report comes up saying that I can't 1) Install a 64-bit windows to a 32-bit system and 2) Can't install a 32-bit windows to a 64-bit system. This makes no sense to me and I'm wondering if anyone here would be able to help me with this issue?

Hello,

Which bit is your PC using? 32- or 64- bit?

I've tried Ultimate, 64-bit. When it's doing a compatibility check before it installs, it stops and says that message. It worked perfectly fine on my laptop -.-

Hello,

I wanted to say whether you could format your drive first and then install Windows 7, but the discs are missing the boot files...

I recently reformatted my computer if that has anything to do? I'm not sure if it will be a waste of time or not to try again because I finally got everything back on my computer (Games and stuff).

I've decided to stick with Windows Vista.

Windows 7 is known to have problems with Tablets and their pressure sensitivity and overall performance. Thanks for the help though.
