64-bit Migration Help for Windows 7 and Windows Servers
Microsoft Windows 7 is offered in a 64-bit version that sets a new benchmark for desktop dependability and performance. However, for the majority of businesses the transition to 64-bit computing is problematic because of the need to perform a clean installation on each desktop. This involves reconfiguring programs, saving and recovering data, and running new device drivers. Though companies usually are already using 64-bit workstations, the effort required to benefit fully from these resources often seems too difficult. But because Microsoft Windows 7 usually requires a clean installation, it can be a great time to move up to 64-bit technology, which can be done with little if any extra work.
