From what I have read I think I can make all of my software work that I currently have. I will have to install some of the software in another destination besides the typical Program files directory. So the programs will run under 32 bit OS. I am not sure if this will work but I thought of creating the Program Files folder in my documents and installing my (older non supported) applications there. Should that work? Also mentioned in what I read, it was suggested to install older programs in the X86 folder under C: or just install them under C: instead of C:/Program Files. This will keep the programs away from the UAC User account control(s) that are in windows 7. Which option should I use?
