Quick question about Backups and Upgrades...

i mention the 64bit drivers because every time i reinstall win7, i have to install the SATA drivers first. and my system pre-dates win7, so i dont know why the drivers werent included.

OK, I am about to switch from Win7x32Bit to Win7x64Bit. I'll also be formatting C:\ before installing Win7x64.

Now, my question is, if I use Windows Backup Utility to backup my files in C:\ drive to another drive, will I be able to restore those files after installing Win7x64?

I recommend that you simply backup your files the good old-fashioned way by copying them to your backup media. And I'm rather knowledgeable regarding Win 7 Backup & Restore.

And will the themes I've made in Win7x32 work in Win7x64?

Do not know but I would think that they will.

What's the big difference in 32bit and 64bit anyway? Wherever I look online, it just says that 64 is faster and it can utilize full ram.

But the basic OS is the same right?

True.
