Apologies if these questions are a bit newbish, but i havent really been keeping up with things...
Ive been a long term xp user (refused to go to Vista) and am now replacing my desktop with a win7 based system. I am a bit concerned about the compatibility with some of the common programs i use and if i will be able to use them on the win7 system especially since its the 64bit version im getting.
So was wondering if there would be any problems loading up my old programs onto win7 like spybot, nero, NOD antivirus etc.
Also how about games? will older games like the original F.E.A.R, Battlefield 2, AMRA work?
Finally, what is the difference between 64bit and 32bit based systems in laymans terms? i.e. the "end user" notable differences rather than the tech differences?
Again, apologies if these questions seem a bit obvious, im just trying to clarify things in my head and hopefully clear a little dust in there at the same time
