64-bit Transitioning Support for Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Servers
Microsoft Windows 7 is offered in a 64-bit edition that sets a new benchmark for desktop dependability and performance. However, for most businesses the upgrade to 64-bit computing is problematic due to the need to make a clean installation on each PC. This involves reconfiguring programs, saving and restoring data files, and installing 64-bit device drivers. Although companies usually already have 64-bit hardware, the work required to take full advantage of these resources often seems excessively time-consuming. But because Windows 7 often requires a clean install, it represents a good time to upgrade to 64-bit reliability and performance, which can be done with virtually no additional effort.
