Question about Backups in Win7
Ok, I just switched from Win7 Ultimate 32Bit to Win7 Ultimate 64Bit a few days ago and I was about to restore files in C:\ from back ups I made in Win7x32 with Windows Backup Utility before I noticed something.
In Win7x64 there are two folders called 'Program Files', for 64 Bit programs, and 'Program Files (x86)', for 32/86Bit programs, in C:\
Whereas there's (obviously) only 'Program Files', for 32/86Bit programs, in C:\ in Win7x32.
So my question is, if I restore the backups, will the files in Win7x32's 'Program Files' be copied to Win7x64's 'Program Files' instead of 'Program Files (86)'?
If yes, can I change some setting anywhere to specify that 'Program Files' must be copied to 'Program Files (x86)'?
If I can't change any settings, and I go ahead with restoring, what's the worst that could happen? Also, what sort of effect will this have on the 'AppData' folder?
