Backup question for 32 to 64 bit
Right now I have Vista Home Premium 32bit as an operating system. I've found that my computer is 64 bit capable so I'd like to upgrade to Window 7 64 bit so that I can run some newer programs that only come in 64 bit.
First, I'm no computer geek but I'm not the village idiot either. I understand that I can't "upgrade" to the new OS. So, I have a few questions I can't find clear answers to.
1. What's the best way to back up everything I have? I have a Lacie external HD that has about 380 GB left on it and my current internal HD is only 250 total. Can I just do a copy of My C and D drives to my external?
2. Once all my stuff is backed up, what's the next step? Can I just run the install cd and it will guide me through?
