    Easy Transer from 32-bit Win7 to 64-bit Win7?


    I did easy transfer (backing-up) on my 32bit Win7 onto an external HD. I would like to wipe it out and install the 64 bit win7 which my Quad core is capable of and easy transfering my files etc. back. Is this possible? Thanks

    Yest,it is possible but please note some settings you cannot transfer Windows Easy Transfer does not migrate some desktop settings from a 32-bit version of Windows Vista to a 64-bit version of Windows Vista

    While you can backup documents, files, etc, you will need to do a clean install ... you cant upgrade from a 32bit to a 64bit version of Windows...
