September 10, 201213 yr I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I just upgraded my computer to Ivy bridge I5-3570k, Asrock Z77 Extreme4, 8 GB corsair vengeance memory 1600. With this system I run FSX pretty smoothly on Vista 32bit. I'm happy with it but would like to upgrade to Windows7 64bit for compatiblility with other parts of the system as well as other programs besides FSX. My question is am I able to upgrade to 64bit without having to go through the hassle of reinstalling everything, including FSX. Is there a way to clone everything over to 64bit and let windows make the necessary adjustments so that everything on my vista 32bit works on the newer windows7 64bit. SJED
