Is Windows 7 64-bit still supported?

How do I activate Windows 7 64-bit professional?

So far I downloaded the disk.

So I have Vista 64-bit. I downloaded and burnt a Windows 7 cd from my school that's on the 32bit for now but, there is a "Windows Logo" instead of the word "Windows" in the name of that OS. Is it necessary to activate if not when I go into BIOS and turn off 32 bit mode should I select anything from (32 or 64)? Sorry if this has already been asked, could not find answer. The reason I'm asking it like this is because of where I am at the school right now, but once I get off that computer and install Windows7 I will change that computer to 64 bit and keep the other one 32 bit. Is it necessary to activate if not when I go into BIOS and turn off 32 bit mode should I select anything from (32 or 64)?
When you choose "w7x64", you need to click "check for additional languages and tools" on the "start page". It is not mandatory though. You can do everything manually.

When you download your system you might notice that there is an offer at the end of setup for a windows 8 license. So I guess we are getting an upgrade. I would advise to just go ahead and run the setup like normal then during windows boot make a bootable USB/CD to install it on that one. I did that with XP. Should be even easier now that we have a 64 bit version.

Thank you. How easy is it to transfer all this information through a flash drive to a new computer? Also, is it okay for me to transfer the program files onto the drive? And can I simply just plug this HDD into another computer and it will automatically launch all the programs that were installed onto my Vista computer that runs 32 bits.

Is IPVanish compatible with Windows 7?

No, it is not.

It will not work on any version of Windows after XP, because the Windows Firewall requires special access to allow VPN connections.

It will work with Windows 8, but only if you disable the firewall. The most you can do with Windows 7 is allow the firewall to ignore the connection attempt. I have tested on Windows 7 and it works well, but it can not be setup without disabling the Windows Firewall (which I did). It worked just fine, and I had no problems.

When you are running a windows 7 or 8, just disable the firewall, and it will allow you to connect to your VPN through IPVanish.

Can I get VPN for Windows 7?

VPN is a great way to get around your country's internet censorship, but can I get it for Windows 7?

Is VPN the same as "encryption"? As a side note, does anyone have a good solution for getting around internet censorship in the US? (There's no way to do it legally at the moment). Encryption is only one half of it. VPN has a specific purpose - to mask your IP address and/or the protocol you are using.

As for legal options, if you are going to use a VPN, the best bet is to use the US version. You'll need to register your router with their service, then setup a p2p server on your Windows 7 box that will act as the gateway. Then you'll need to set your router's DNS server to route all queries to the VPN server.

That's the best route, but you have to be careful to make sure your ISP doesn't block the port or UDP port used by the p2p gateway server. How do you get the VPN to work? I can't connect to my router's admin page. I don't have any other routers, so I'm not sure where the p2p server would be located. What about the DNS server? How do I set that up? How do I setup the p2p server? What DNS server should I use? Thank you for your help! I personally use OpenVPN, but there are other ways.

Is Windows 7 64-bit still supported?

We're running a new office and have a lot of old stuff that runs on XP and one of the first things that I have to install are Windows 7 machines.

We've always been a bit lax about doing upgrades for our office, we just install everything on the new machines.

The problem is that the old ones are 32-bit and our new ones are 64-bit. We're not allowed to do an upgrade. I was going to do it anyway, but I'd rather not have any nasty surprises when I boot up the new system.

I know the difference between 32- and 64-bit operating systems and I know what they can and cannot do, but I still don't know whether or not I should install it in 32-bit mode. It's always better to know that there will be no issues, right? I'm sure there are some who will tell me to just give it a shot, but I'd prefer to make sure I don't have any problems. Any thoughts? Thanks. EDIT: The new computers all have SSD drives in them. I know that with SSD drives, you need to install in 64-bit mode. But does that apply to a dual boot system with Win7 and XP? Or just Win7?
It seems like you are asking for a lot of advice, which is great, but we've got plenty of other "experts" in the room. Yes, I would always run 64 bit. The reason for this is that a 64 bit OS can use 4 GB of RAM, whereas a 32 bit OS can only use 3 GB. 64 bit OS can also have 4 or more CPUs. And many of the applications you might want to install (Adobe Photoshop, etc) are also 64 bit.

There are lots of reasons to run a 64 bit OS, most importantly if you have more than 4 GB of RAM or more than 2 CPUs in your PC. We have two Win7 machines and one Win XP machine. I'd like to get rid of the old machines and just have the new ones, but I'm concerned that running it as 64-bit could cause problems for our application.

And while it doesn't really matter on a 64 bit CPU, having 32 bit Windows 7 on a 64 bit CPU makes no sense at all.
