Moving windows 7 from 32-bit to 64-bit hardware

[OlderButNotWiser]

Hello,
I'm upgrading my system (replacing everything but the Antec 900 chassis and a SATA secondary hard drive) from an old P4?800VM with a Pentium 4 processor to an ASUS P8Z68 with an i7-2600k processor. The old system ran 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate and I plan to do a clean 64-bit install and transfer the license. My question is whether there is any information I need to pull off of the older system before I shut it down in order to make activating the new OS easier.
TIA.

the main thing you should check is that any peripherals such as printers scanners etc have 64bit drivers available as you cant use a 32bit driver on a 64bit operating system--so some older peripherals could become unusable
