Hi, hi. Currently setup; Windows 7 32 bit. And I wanted to update to Windows 10 64 bit.
Correct me if I'm wrong... 1) Fresh install Windows 7 32 bit on a new HDD (because I wanted to upgrade my HDD to 1TB at the same time) 2) Setup and activate Windows 7 32 bit 3) Upgrade free to Windows 10 32 bit 4) Download and install Media Creation Tool 5) Create installation media for Windows 10 64 bit; USB or ISO file 6) Reboot from USB or DVD (ISO file) and INSTALL Betul ahh?  |

QUOTE(horns @ Feb 2 2016, 01:58 PM) yes. You mean when I'm using the Media Tool, I'll be extracting the contents real time directly from Microsoft website into a USB drive or burning the contents directly from Microsoft to the DVD?basically a 32bit os cannot be upgraded to a 64bit w10 directly. however, once you have upgraded to w10 32bit from the old one (make sure the computer is online and activated), and you do a clean install to get rid of the 32bit os and replace it with a 64bit w10, you computer should be activated online automatically. about step 6, you extract contents of the iso file directly into usb drive, or burn the iso into dvd. some users did it wrongly by copying the whole iso as is into the drive, which will not work.  |

Weird, but I keep getting Error code 0x800704DD - 0x90016 even though I am the administrator running the tool.
Edit: Ahh, after the fourth time, I'm able to build it on a USB drive. Let's try again for ISO.  This post has been edited by domo_kun: Feb 3 2016, 08:32 AM |

QUOTE(horns @ Feb 3 2016, 09:01 AM) it depends. Yup, that was the funny part. No changes were done yet on the 4th time, it was built successfully on the USB. In progress with the ISO... Let see how it goes, hehe.yes you can use tools like wudt or rufus for this, but there is an easier way if your mobo bios supports uefi. the process of creating a w8.x/w10 usb installer is as simple as: 1. format the usb stick with fat32; 2. open the iso file with archiving tools like 7zip or winrar, then extract the contents of iso directly into the usb stick. it's a common problem (related to permissions). do a search with the error codes will get you options to fix it. the most probable fix is to run the tool with a local administrator account. Edit: Both USB and ISO files for 64 bit were created successfully. Both also bootable with any extra configurations. I'll try them out during the CNY holidays, after I got my hands on a new HDD.

Finally purchased a 1TB hard disk yesterday. Successfully installed and activated Windows 7 32 bit on the new disk. Then, thankfully, I'm managed to install Windows 10 64 bit, too. Happily running on a 64 bit workstation now, and I will be pumping in the RAM at a later time.
By the way, on my old HD is a Office 2013 original copy. Rather unfortunate, I've lost all proof of purchase and installation of it. If I'm to set the old HD as primary bootable OS again, will I be able to retrieve whatever info used to install the Office 2013, and migrate it over to the new HD with Win 10? |
