Changing from Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit

Postby JohnWB56 » Thu Oct 18, 2012 10:13 am

I am going to be changing from Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

Is there a way to copy some files from my existing registered 32 bit v6.4 installation to the new 64 bit v6.4 installation to keep all the groups & servers etc.

You basically want to do something like this but, on the same computer. I suggest copying the data folder to some common folder like "C:\NBDATA\" before the upgrade.

All the data files are the same, for 32 and 64 bits. I run them interchangeably so, you don't have to lose anything.
