I had to change SO.. will my saving files work?

Post » Fri Jan 18, 2013 12:00 pm

Hello guys,

I am seriously asking for help. I have gained something like 5 months of gameplay in Skyrim because I really like it and I want to discover all its missions and all. Then this September, my Vista SO crashed and so it doesn't start anymore. I moved to Windows 7 using a partition, and so I kept all the save files. :wallbash:

Can someone help me? My will is to install Skyrim on Windows 7 (it's a 64 bit) and copy and paste the save files to reopen my efforts, as I did with other games in the past. But since I moved from Vista 32bit to Windows 7 at 64bits, I don't know if this is going to work.

What if I install Skyrim at 32bit on Windows 7 64bits and move my save files in? Will this work the same?

Or, what if I install Skyrim 64bits on Windows 7 and move the save files in, made with my old Vista 32bit?

Which option should I use? Since it's a big game in GB, I cannot try over and over the right solution..

thanks in advance! :D

Saves are not dependent on the hardware or OS, just the game. That is, the game version, any plugins associated with the save, and scripts that have tied to the save.

Thanks, so you advise me to install Skyrim 32bits on Windows 7 on 64bit to make all work? That would be wonderful if possible *_*
