Win7 32bit to Win7 64bit
Hello!
I am currently using Windows 7 Home Basic 32bit. I acquired Windows 7 Professional 64bit through MSDNAA and was wondering about how the OS change will go.
What I'm worried about are my files. I currently have about 200gb worth of data on my drive and I have no extra harddrives to make backups.
Because I'm going from 32bit to 64bit, I read that a clean install is required for this type of change. My question is, will my files be placed in a "windows.old" folder? Or will I be required to buy an external drive and transfer them all in order to keep them?
Are there any other things that I must keep in mind?
Thank you in advance for any help and responses!
