Migration from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate
Did a search but couldn't find an answer to my question:
Can I migrate my C drive from Vista (32 bit) and have it work on Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) using True Image 2010 with my programs, files, settings etc. all intact? If so, how?
I know PC Mover does this type of thing but I'd rather buy True Image because it does so much more.

Is the Win 7 64 bit on a completely different machine? If it is, it is far better to reinstall all your Apps. even if it is just to make sure they will run in a 64 bit environment. The data files you can simply copy over using windows explorer first to an external drive or flash drive, then on to the new system.

Thanks for the explanations, Dmitry. I'll download the trial and give it a test run.
DwnNDrty, yes the Windows 7 64 bit is on a different machine. The reason I'd like to copy over the apps is because I have so many and they're set just the way I like them. Installing everything over again would be a nightmare (I'll do it if I have to but I'm trying to avoid it).
Thanks for the info guys.

Don't see where anyone specifically addressed this, but the answer to the question of whether you can "upgrade" from 32-bit to 64-bit is basically -- no. You will have to do a fresh install. You may be able to save off and restore data files and settings, but you'll have to install the apps afresh.
