| 1265782 | 2012-03-19 04:47:00 | You'll have to do a clean install then. Due to the difference between 32 and 64 bit. And you'll have to reinstall whatever programs after. Just keep / copy docs / emails / email addies to something. So you can add / import them after you reinstall windows. But if you install Win7, remember it doesnt install an email program | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1265784 | 2012-03-19 18:15:00 | Export you favourites and your email address book if you have one, copy any data you want to keep off the 80GB drive, then re-install everything. There is a file and settings transfer wizard you could try as part of windows but I haven't heard great things about it. Make sure you have all the installers first. because the old drive is so small you could easily make an image of it in case something doesn't go right. |

| 1265787 | 2012-03-20 04:53:00 | So no CPU drivers needed for anything above XP? | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1265788 | 2012-03-20 04:55:00 | I've never seem cpu drivers so no. Even if they do exist you should be able to boot up anyway. Then install the drivers. | icow (15313) | ||
