Is it possible to restore a backup of my old computer Windows 7-32bits to a new one with Windows7-64bits?

Thread needs solution

I had a computer with Windows 7-32bits; 0 I made with True Image Home 201 a full backup of the system before it crashed. Now, I've bought a new computer with Windows 7-64bits, and I don't know if it is possible to restore the old image to the new computer.
Thank you for any help.

It is possible but you will need the Pluspack addon http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/plus-pack.html. You will end up with a 32bit computer not a 64bit.

Just to clarify: You will end up with a 32-bit OS (not computer). If the computer has more than 3GB of RAM, 32-bit Windows won't be able to use it.

So, perhaps would it be better to make a partition and restore in there...
I thank both of you
