Re: 32 Bit ~VS~ 64 Bit
Data files will restore fine, no difference, apps will need to be reinstalled because the registry entries and support DLLs will be missing in the new windows install. They will run as 32 bit apps, in order for an app to run as a 64 bit app, it has to be written and compiled for 64 bit. 32 bit apps will also only use ~3GB of your ram.
