I'm a noob making the jump from XP to 7 and I'm wondering about a few things
1. I'm on 32bit right now, what incompatibilities might happen when I go to the 64bit version of windows 7? I know my hardware is compatible but what about my all my programs?
2. I have a single 640gb hd and only 40gb of free space right now. Would it be possible to make a partition for 7, move some files over, increase the size of the win7 partition, then move more files over? Would anything get corrupt?
3. By moving files from XP to 7, does that mean I have to backup my XP stuff on dvds and paste it over from there? Or would it be possible to go into the XP part of my hd while win7 is booted and move stuff over?
4. Is GParted a good program to make hd partitions with? Do I need anything else?
