A question regarding installation on win7 64bit
Hello everybody. So far I have been using 32 bit version of windows 7 but today I switched to 64 bit version. now when it comes to installing software I am a bit doubtful because ,on my system partition (c:), there are two Program Files directories. One is Program Files x86 andother one is just called Program Files. I did a bit of study on that topic and did realize that x86 one is for older 32 bit apps and non-x86 one is for 64bit apps. The size of my system partition is around 35 gigs plus i have two more partitions for data and games which are 120 gigs and 310 gigs respectively. Since on those two drives I do not have separate folders for 32bit and 64 bit apps like i have on C drive, should I install all games under one directory or should i separate them ? For example, I want to install Max Payne 1 from early 2000s and Call of Duty Ghosts from 2013. My question is shall these two games which are quite contrast be installed under one same folder or shall i separate them so there won't be any conflict on some level ? I ask this because my HD is formatted like that and I can't install both programs and games under the same ''roof'' which is system partition C . Thanks in advance .If there are any questions regarding my thread feel free to post in reply. One more thing to ask while I'm here. If one application doesn't have separate installer for 32 and 64 bit versions, would it matter whether to install it under Program Files or Program Files x86 folder? Example is GOM player .
