Hello, i'm in a situation where i've been running windows xp 32bit, and I do music production with pro tools and a good number of plugins. So i'm planning on upgrading to windows 7 64bit, mainly to have more cpu and upgrade my ram. I have my computer custom built, and i've checked my hardware, processor, etc, and it's all 64bit compatible, and can take up to 16 gigs of ram, but i was wondering about my software. I have two main internal hard drives, one my c, which is 1tb and my second f drive which is 1.5tb. Obviously my c drive has windows xp 32bit installed, and i was wanting to install windows 7 64bit on my second hard drive f 1.5 tb, Can I install windows 7 64bit to a specific folder in my f drive? Without it deleting the files i have on my f drive already? Because i was wanting to have windows xp 32, still on my my c drive, just in case. Will it be possible then on windows 7, to locate my c drive and run programs i had installed on windows xp? If not, will i have to just have to reinstall all software i need on windows 7 64bit, to my f drive? Or is there anyway of moving the software entirely to windows 7?
Any help, i would greatly appreciate!
