Just got myself a new Windows 8 tablet, which operates a 32 bit Win 8 (It was advertised as 64 bit on amazon, but that's another subject I guess).
My question is, can I upgrade the existing system to 64 bit, without having to set up win 8 again? I haven't found anything on google, not even someone with the same question which makes me kind of afraid there is no solution.. Anyway, here I am and ask :)
Any answers are kindly appreciated ^_^
There is no upgrade path when changing architecture, so no, you will have to do a complete reinstall when switching from 32bit to 64bit, no matter what hardware you are on.
Your data will be lost if you do not backup manually, all programs and drivers will need to be re-installed.To quote Microsofts official documentation:
If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or vice versa, you'll need to back up your files and choose the Custom option during Windows 7 installation. Then, you'll need to restore your files and reinstall your programs.

Whanted to get a openvms dev enviroment, where could use it to learn the basic command's to get feel for it without worrying about breaking anything.
So whanted to know if its possible to install a openvms iso image in Virtual Box
In case its possible where could get a openvms image or needed first to get installation cds and from those generate the iso?
if the cds are needed is there some online store that can be bought or the price is only afordable for companies?
only making inqueries to see if its possible and feasible, other wise gona give up the ideia of having a development enviroment.
Well what do you know so far, and what do you have so far?
Do you know that OpenVMS has a 40+ year history, was originally written for the (32 bit) VAX platform, ported to 64-bit Alpha (30+ years ago), then ported to Itanium and X86 (64 bit).
That X86 port will boot natively and you may want to ue VMware, Virtualbox or similar - within the current constraints and offeringg - visit vmssoftware.com for details.
For initial learning I recommend to just to use an Alpha or VAX emulator.
Those could run on a virtual machine, but there is no good reason.
Just run as process on whatever laptop/server your have running Windows (and some Linux options I think).
There are are several emulators out there, both free and commercial - google is your friend.
I happen to like/use FreeAXP for Alpha running under 64 bit windows - just Google.
There is no Itanium emulator.
Do you have access to the software distribution somehow?
For starters, why even bother trying to get your own system?
Just timeshare to get a feel for it.
For example SSH to decuserve.org [184.168.131.241 - ooops: 104.207.199.162 ] - ask for an account - presto!
Other timeshare options are available - and very valid to learn the basics (file system, editors, compilers,...)
Good luck!
Hein.

I have Windows 8 Professional and use the Hyper V functionality.
Recently I signed up for Windows 10 and a thought struct me i.e. do we keep all the functionality of Windows 8.
More importantly:
Do we get Hyper V in Windows 10 if we have it already installed on Windows 8? Y/N
Or
Do we have to buy/upgrade to Windows 10 Professional to get the Hyper V functionality? Y/N
If I have to buy/upgrade to Professional for Windows 10 I wont be upgrading because I am 100% sure the new features wont be that great that I really feel the urge to upgrade.
Cheers
C
If you upgrade from Windows 8 Pro you'll get Windows 10 Pro and will still have Hyper-v.

first of all - thank you in advance for all answers.
Second - I'm not asking about writing console programs working on modern systems (like Ubuntu 11.10 or Windows 7) nor batch files.
Third - I'm not going to become DOS 6.22 nor Windows 3.1 programs developer. Maybe I will write small program only for educational purpose.
I am wondering how programmers works on early (I refer to 70's, 80's and begining of 90's) days of computer. On wikipedia there's many information about, let's caled it "ancient times", but there's not enough about "middle ages" (I'm referring to 70-90's) in programming definition. Although in DOS times programs higly depends on used machines (because they directly call hardware IRQ), I can't believe that there wasn't something like today Integrated Development Environment and that some of them were written in high level programming language. Is it possible that Prehistoric 2 has been written in Assembly? I don't think so, but I assume that early versions of BASIC can't receive such possibility.
Could you recommend any good article or source of information? I'm interested both MS (DOS, Windows 16-bit) and Unix platforms.
See also Borland Turbo C++ and Borland C++, commonly used in the early 90s.
If memory serves, Commander Keen was built using Borland tools. It's probable that other same-era Apogee/id games (like the original 2D Duke Nukem) were built under Borland as well.
Later on (early-to-mid 90s), id Software started using Watcom and the DOS/4GW DOS extender to build games like the original DOOM.
I was working in that period on Windows 16-bit and DOS (also DEC VAX and Alpha).
Mostly I used Turbo Pascal and Delphi 1 both of which provided IDE's. This was in the early 90's

has anyone having problem with latest release of arcgis 10?
my services running on ags 10 is very slower than 9.3.1.
And Arcgis Desktop is Really slow which cause me to downgrade back to 9.3.1.
Is it just me or anyone else having issues like this?
This "upgrade" from 9.3.1 to 10 is not worth it. I have a very new machine with fast processors and video cards and 10 runs much much slower. Just creating a simple buffer takes around 2 minutes where in 9.3.1 it would finish in about 10seconds. Unacceptable...
We just switched over to Arc 10 a couple of days before service pack 1 came out. We had some serious issues including speed problems with ArcGIS Server, Image Server and IMS. We applied the service pack and it took care of most of our issues on the servers.
We have not applied SP1 to the desktops or ArcSDE since we are limited by 3rd party tools that need to be tested first. But I am hoping that the problems we still see on the desktops hitting SDE will be resolved once we can apply SP1 there as well.
I have had arc 10 since September. Its been the worst experience of my professional career. Besides the crashes or lock ups 3 to 4 times per day, sometimes much more, it is the slowest program I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I have a brand new machine with up to date video card and 16 GB of memory and it still takes longer to do the simplest tasks that I don't see how they can stay in business if this is the norm. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE Exp. I would not recommend this to anyone. If there is another option besides arc I would definitely go with that.
I haven't had any problems with Arcgis 10. However please note that the system requirements for ArcGIS 10 are much higher than ArcGIS 9.3.1
What are your hardware & software specifications? Do they meet the minimum requirements?
