Windows 7 Question! Help!? -

I just downloaded the 64-Bit Version of Windows 7 off of the microsoft website. When I opened the file, it says Windows cannot open this file. We need to know what program created it. What do I do?

Hi, You most probably have a 32bit processor. To install windows 7 you will have to download a program to burn the .iso to a DVD then you can install it through DVD. To burn the iso file you could use a program known as Imgburn, it s a free program. Hope this helps, Imgburn - http://www.imgburn.com/

the reason you cant burn a dvd is because you dont have a dvd burner your computer prolly only has a cd burner Report Abuse

Ok, first of all, if you don t know how to know that, you might not be experienced enough to try beta software. No support comes with Windows 7 beta, so if you mess something up, you re the one who s going to have to fix it. What you downloaded from Microsoft is an ISO file. You will need to burn it to a DVD. Roxio or another similar software will do this for you. If your processor is a Core 2 Duo or an AMD, it is 64 bit. But if you want to upgrade your existing installation, your existing installation has to be 64 bit too. If you want to go ahead with trying Windows 7, I suggest you do some reading online to make sure you know what you re doing.

The Windows 7 Beta download is an ISO file, which you’ll need to burn onto a blank disc before you can install it. To do that, you’ll need to use software designed for burning ISO files. Free Software to burn ISO files to DVD or CD. http://www.imgburn.com Read the Windows 7 Beta webpage here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows...

you need to burn the .iso image onto a dvd to install it and dont install it as your main os on your main computer and if you dont know if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit processor you prolly shouldnt be using a beta seeing as its not a full os and its for testing purposes and if you have to ask what windows 7 is on here you shouldnt use it

I believe you need to burn the image file you downloaded onto a cd or DVD. It mentions this on the home page for Windows 7 Beta. Use a burning program and choose option to burn image or burn .iso file .

It comes in ISO image form. You need to burn it to a DVD and then boot from the disc. ... as it says on the website you downloaded it from.
