Hi,I'm willing to switch from XP32sp2 to a 64bit OS (Vista, 7), and I'd like to do it without erasing to present OS, with a soft slow transition (reinstalling everything in time on the new OS)as my XPsp2 FSX is perfectly working and it has been a quite complex path to make it satisfactorily working with all the addons, I was thinking to set it up on the new OS, one step at a time, in the less painful way, without erasing the good working one, until the new install was completedis it allowed a dual setup an each OS on the same PC?thanks

Yes.....I am triple booting with FSX on a 320g hd w/Vista 32b,1tb hd w/Vista 64b and 640g hd with Win7 RC 64b.....Win 7 64b runs better than Vista 64b for me..And I HOPE I never have to go back to 32b. OS..Microsoft tech told me multiple installs on same computer...After 4-5 times,I had to activate by phone..No problem...Hope this helps...BMG50 Lou

I do the same as Lou, except I was never suckered into Vista 32 and stuck with good old solid XP Pro SP3 ;)Default OS is W7.

I ran XP Pro SP3 before I bought Vista 32b...Vista ran alot better for me on my rig...Then Vista 64b..Much,much better...Now Win7 RC (64B) which is (for me) the best yet....The never ending battle to "move the sliders" continues....I7 build in progress....Lou
