The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by smetterd in Windows 7, Windows Vista
If I have a 64 bit capable pc with a 32 bit OS (Vista) then is there a way to do a direct upgrade to Windows 7 without having to reformat the HD or install a brand new version of Windows?
When I tried to do it by putting in the CD while Vista was booted up, I got an error stating that I must start the installation from booting to the CD. I tried that and rec'd a message stating that I couldn't do an upgrade from 32-bit OS to a 64-bit.
I would like to stay with a purely 32-bit Windows 7 so I can do a straight upgrade without having to reformat, move data back and forth, and install a completely new OS.
