Thread: Dv6 (Turion 64 x2) and Win 7 HP 64-bit - Operating systems and software - HP Support Forum
Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by jrozsnaki
Greetings!   I have a Dv6646us with the AMD Turion 64 x2 Mobile TL-58 1.9GHZ MPU; 4GB DRAM machine and recently installed Win 7 32-bit Home Premium.  I am contemplating installing the 64 bit version, since the drivers for the 32 & 64 bit Vista OS are the same.    My question is has anyone successfully upgraded their original 32 bit OS to a 64 bit OS (any dv6 series w Turion TL-58 ...

There probably is a misunderstanding about 32bit and 64bit drivers being the same - typically they are not the same, but a lot of times both version do share some common things and are put in one package.   You can't "upgrade" 32bit to 64bit in an "upgrade mode" install, you have to install fresh 64bit over 32bit. i.e. The HP upgrade disc will not upgrade 32bit Vista to 64bit 7. You ...

I have a DV6910us. I upgraded from Vista 32bit to Win7 64bit. The provided Win7 driver library got the majority of my drivers. The few that it didn't were found by the helpful people here.   I do see a moderate performance increase using a 64bit operating system. If the install wasn't so easy, I wouldn't recommend it. But my install was nearly flawless, and worth the time.

CharlesHP,   Thanks! - I do have the install disks and know that I will need a clean install for the 64 bit OS - I only needed to get a second opinion, if you will, to know for certain that my machine would suppot the 64 bit OS and take advantage of all 4GB of DRAM instead of the 3GB/4GB along with other performance increases.   BTW: I am replacing the original 160GB SATA HD (5400 ...
