Currenly have all my programs on a HDD with XP installed will soon be installing win 7 on a SSD will the prgrams on the HDD work with windows 7 ?
I will be going 64 bit
Would this mean I would have to RE-download all the programs ?
Does this also apply to XP to win 8 ?
You wont need specific 64bit versions of your programs and games - 32bit applications run fine on x64. However, your applications may need reinstalling if they rely on registry keys or settings that are linked to your XP install.
not always the case some programs see you have 64bit and wont install if you're trying to install the 32bit
