Vista 64 to Vista 32

I have heard the opposite of this question asked. Is there anyway
I can migrate my 64 bit Vista installation to a 32 bit installation without
lossing all the work I have gone through setting the machine and
software up?

I am trying to do this on a tablet pc running ultimate 64 and need to
go to Vista 32 because I desperately need the One Note printer driver
which is not available for Vista 64

Thanks in advance for any help.

ED

Hi Ed,

Unfortunately, no. The best you can hope for is to use the Easy Transfer
Wizard to migrate settings and such.

No. A clean installation will be required.
