| | Windows 7 64 bit I have a Laptop Dell Inspiron 1721. I am going from a Vista 32bit to Windows 7 64... My system is completely compatible... The whole installation process goes through and completes... It restarts and when the Windows 7 logo starts to do its thing it freezes, then a quick blue screen flashes... I don't have time to read what it says... It restarts and says Windows could not complete installation. Any clue whats going on? |

| | You can't do an upgrade from a 32bit OS to a 64bit OS. You will have to do a "clean" install. If you could tell us what you've done to prepare your computer to install the Windows 7 64 OS, it would surely help us to troubleshoot and provide answers. |
