I recently bought a laptop that came with windows 7, 64bit version installed. Been using it for about 3 weeks and love it. I've been having issues with programs installing on my desktop, using windows 7, 32bit. So I'm thinking, why not upgrade to 64bit. I have a couple of questions in regards to switching over.
On my laptop, depending on whether the program is 64bit ready or not, they'll either go to the x86 program file folder or the x64 program file folder. Is this a feature with windows and will be automatic with my desktop or was my laptop set up this way?
What are some issues I may run in to? Would the same 32bit drivers work if there aren't any 64bit versions?
Below are the specs to my PC. I now have a Logitech G5 Laser mouse and a Logitech mouse (unsure of the model). I also upgraded the memory to (2) 2GB DDR2 Corsair PC800 and a 1TB WD HD (Green). I tried to take some things that don't matter (manuals, unused software) out from the list.
Thanks in advance!
