Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by TrebleChamp(m): 2:03pm On Jun 20, 2013
Goodday tech gurus, am using a Dell Inspiron N5040 window 7 home premium 64bit OS. I took my laptop to a computer engineer to help me partition d memory, the dude used window 7 proffesional 32bit OS. Now the volume key and screen brightness key on d key board is no longer working.
(1) What is d difference btw windows 7 premium nd windows 7 proffessional?
(2) What is the implication of d downgrade 4rm 64bit to 32bit operating system?
(3) How do i get d shortcut brightness nd volume key working again?
Thanks

normally,its fine to downgrade a 64 bit os to 32 bit..except its not properly done should u experience problems..by default,windows runs a compatibility test before installing..but in your case,it would display an error because you are not downgrading an os in the same class(windows 7 home premium is more inferior to windows 7 pro)except that the graphics is 64bit..
as i have always maintained,there are some precautionary steps u must make before u downgrade or upgrade a system but most people throw caution to the wind..
here is wat u asked for...difference between premium,pro

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by onegig(m): 11:44am On Jun 21, 2013
indrija: aside replacing the battery what other solution..?
question is...is the battery working perfectly before? What happened exactly? Physical damage like falling or what? It should atleast detect the battery...or else even if you change the battery same might apply. Get it to an engr to help you check.
