| Guest | Vista 32 bits to Vista 64 bits without loosing apps. Hello: This is my first time visiting and posting to this group. I am here because I need help, and it seems like there are a lot of knowledgeable and helpful people here. I have an HP pc that came with Vista Home Premium and software like MS Works 8, Muvee and other preloaded apps. I used anytime upgrade to buy Vista Ultimate 64 bits on a separate DVD. Currently I am using Vista Ultimate 32 bits as an upgrade from Home Premium. My question and deep desire is to get Vista Ultimate 64 installed (I know that I need/have to do a clean install) and then regain my preloaded software like MS Works 8 and Muvee along with the other stuff that came with Home Premium. If I do a Full Backup with Vista Ultimate 32 bits, will I be able to do a complete restore once Vista Ultimate 64 bits is installed and regain full use of my apps/software (MS Works 8, Muvee etc.) that was installed with Vista Home Premium 32 bits? If that want work, is there any other ways to regain full use of the preloaded apps/software in Vista Ultimate 64 bits? Thanks for any help you can give. |

| Guest | Re: Vista 32 bits to Vista 64 bits without loosing apps. Thank you. The apps that I want to keep are on the Hard drive and came bundled from HP the manufacturer.

| Guest | Re: Vista 32 bits to Vista 64 bits without loosing apps. Thanks you all. HP's website don't offer the bundled software that I would like to keep after the upgrade. Maybe after Microsoft offer SP1 I can do and "upgrade" from Vista 32 bits to Vista 64 bits instead of a clean install that wipes my hard drive before it installs itself.
