Installing 32 bit W7 works fine, but 64 bit crashed at boot
January 25th, 2020
I was trying to install a cracked copy of windows 7 on a blank pc. I chose 64 bit and installed as normal, getting to the part (after having entered a password etc) where the computer restarts.
When it restarted the animated windows logo appeared and stayed there moving for about 10 minutes before I gave up. I tried startup recovery/rebooting but it always gets stuck at the same place.
I then tried installing 32 bit windows 7 from the same cracked disk which works fine for some reason.
The problem is there is 6gb of ram in the computer but the 32 bit is only recognizing 3gb of it. Is there something wrong with the machine, does anyone have any ideas why the install didn’t work?
The computter is a Dell inspiron 580 desktop with intel core i5 which as I understand is compatible with 64 bit operating systems?
Thanks!!
It could be possible that W7 64 bit was incorrectly installed, have you tried formatting and doing a clean install again? If it still does not work, then it would either mean that your hard drive has bad sectors (highly unlikely), or that the W7 copy itself is corrupted (most likely).
you might not have let it run long enough before giving up. if it was running with the windows logo, and you had the hard drive light lighting up, that sounds like it was installing.. also, you are not going to be able to use anywhere near 6 GB of memory on a 32 bit operating system. you’ll have to install the 64 bit for that..
Yes, it should do 64bit OK.
I would suggest using an untouched version of windows rather than anything that has been cracked.
You can get Windows from here..

This would be the most popular if you want English……..Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 U (media refresh) X17-59465.iso
When installing and it asks for key, just bypass that, and it will become a fully functioning “trial” version.
Then you can use Windows loader by Daz to fully activate and validate it
