I'll try that first thing after work tomorrow, thanks! I'll have to read up on them, but from a general overlook now, I think this could work.

on the name thing, yes, I'm from Norway. Batteries: Not needed, as I'd be able to have it running from a wall adapter Refurbsihed here in Norway is *demonitized*, as most people for some reason believe they can re-sell their old things at retail price, so that laptops like the ones you've found, quuickly costs from 5000 NOK (roughly 500 USD) I wanted to keep it on an RPi simply because of the physical space it takes. Based on some searching I've done earlier today, could be using an FTP server to connect to it, and do automatic "backups" of the memory cards, but skipping the formatting part (can be done in cameras after all) Probably not gonna have it done for this LAN anyways, but I'll prototype it in my sparetime until I'm happy then

So, I had this idea about making an automatic dumping station for memory cards, that I kinda wanted to use at an upcoming LAN event. The idea was to have a sort of station, where both me and others in the photo crew could just insert a memory card in to a memory card reader, and then the "station" would automatically copy them over to a new folder on a hard drive, and once it was done copying the files, it could format the memory card (and maybe make a sound to signal it was done, just to remove the need for a monitor), having the momry card ready for anoither round of photography. I was also thinking that it should maybe be network attached as well, so that we'd be able to access the files for editing,withoiut having to move around on the hard drive, and for the ability to upload photos to it, if the station were occupied. I have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ that I thought could be used for this, together with an external HDD, and a multi memory card reader (so that I have support for both SD and CF cards). Currently we're only 3 people in the photo crew, which is why I thought this would be decent equipment for the idea, my big problem however is that, whilst I think it's a great idea, I really don't know how to actually do it... My big questions are: What OS would be the most practical for this? Which programming language would be the most suitable? And just, how would you do it? I'm still relatively fresh to programming, trying my best to learn, so any help, suggestions and/or ideas would be highly appreciated. I also want to apologize for any bad English here (grammar, spelling, phrasing etc.), it's not my native language, but I still hope you understand. Thank you

there were no error messages, it just reverted itself back to 32-bit once the setup was complete for 64-bit

we did the setup for the 64-bit version, only to have the computer going back to 32-bit once the setup was complete. And we did try with several memory sticks with the media tool set up for a 64-bit installation

Sorry for my poor choice of words, what i meant by upgrading, was taking it the step up. We did of course use the clean install method when we used the windows media tool , which unfortunately didn't help.

As i just mentioned in the post, the problem is that he can't get it from the 32-bit version to the 64-bit version. And we have checked that his components support the 64-bit architecture.

I have a friend who's struggling to upgrade his computer from a 32-bit to a 64-bit edition of windows. He's already tried using the windows media tool several times. Could anyone provide me a step-by-step guide on how to fix it for him? specs are ; OS: Windows 10 pro CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93GHz RAM: 4GB Single-Channel DDR3 @531MHz GPU: 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD5450 (ATI AIB) HDD: 298 GB WD Attached to this is the screenshot he sent me

My current setup is: Acer Aspire V5 laptop an old Viewsonic 4:3 monitor I got for free an old LG 32" TV Cobra E-blue mouse and keyboard (bundle) Keyboard: E-blue Combatant-H Mouse: E-blue Type-M a microphone I bought from ebay for just one dollar Sandstrôm headset I bought for 400 NOK (approx. 40 USD I think) And for those interested in the specs for the laptop...check the attached DxDiag document. SPOILER ALERT! Thank you for your time, and best of luck to all other contestants reading this. DxDiag.txt
